The TP-Link TL-SF1008P is an 8-port desktop unmanaged switch that delivers reliable network connectivity with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. This fanless switch features four IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE ports with a total power budget of 57W, allowing you to power devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without requiring separate power adapters at each location. The plug-and-play design requires no configuration, making it an accessible solution for expanding networks in areas where running separate power lines would be impractical or costly.
- 4 PoE ports (802.3af) deliver power and data over a single cable to compatible devices
- 8 x 10/100Mbps ports with AUTO Negotiation and AUTO MDI/MDIX for flexible connectivity
- Fanless design ensures silent operation ideal for desktop or office environments
- Low power consumption of just 3.2W with PoE disabled, rising to 60.2W maximum with full PoE load
While this TP-Link switch operates at Fast Ethernet speeds rather than Gigabit, it provides a cost-effective entry point for small-scale PoE deployments where 100Mbps bandwidth is sufficient for connected devices. The compact form factor and external power adapter make it suitable for desktop placement or small office installations. For those building UniFi-centric networks, consider our range of UniFi switches that offer Gigabit speeds, centralized management through the UniFi Controller, and seamless ecosystem integration—though this TP-Link model remains a practical choice for budget-conscious deployments or as a supplementary switch for powering a handful of PoE devices in remote locations.
