TP-Link TL-SG1008MP 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch

Overview

The TL-SG1008MP is an 8-port Gigabit network switch with integrated PoE+ on all ports, designed to consolidate power and data delivery for small to medium IP camera or wireless access point deployments. Form factor supports both desktop placement and 19-inch rack mounting without additional hardware—useful for tight wiring closets or equipment rooms where space efficiency matters. The switch delivers per-port PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at+), eliminating the need for separate PoE injector modules on individual runs.

Compatibility

Works with any standard Gigabit Ethernet device: TP-Link IP cameras, Hikvision/Uniview turrets and domes, Axis and Bosch network cameras, UniFi APs, and industrial-grade door controllers or intercoms rated for PoE or PoE+ input. Verify endpoint power draw against per-port budget before deployment—devices exceeding the per-port limit will not receive power.

Key Specifications

Port configuration: 8 Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet ports, all capable of delivering PoE+. PoE budget: Total power availability varies by model revision; confirm exact budget in your equipment documentation before assigning devices to ports—oversubscription will trigger shutdown or failover to unpowered ports. Physical: Desktop or rack-mount form factor; occupies minimal shelf or rack U-space. Warranty: 3-year limited warranty covering hardware defects.

Installation Considerations

Wire runs from switch to endpoints should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet) per IEEE 802.3 standard. If cable runs approach that limit, verify PoE voltage drop with a multimeter at the device end—degradation over long runs may underpower high-current endpoints. The switch itself requires stable AC power input; confirm outlet capacity and provide uninterruptible power supply (UPS) protection if cameras or access points are critical to your monitoring architecture.
