TP-Link 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch with 4-Port PoE - TL-SG1008P

TP-Link 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch with 4-Port PoE (TL-SG1008P) with the 802.3af/at PoE+ standard supports up to 30 W on each PoE port. The total 64 W PoE power budget* for the 4× PoE ports opens up a wide range of applications, such as surveillance for offices, dormitories, and small businesses. It is fully compatible with IP cameras, access points, IP phones, computers, printers, and more.
When total power consumption exceeds 64 W, the intelligent power management will cut the lower priority port power. This ensures the high priority port’s power supply and protects the device from power overload. It also automatically detects and provides the required power for your PoE devices while protecting your PoE and non-PoE equipment from being damaged.

Product Overview

The TP-Link TL-SG1008P is an 8-port Gigabit desktop switch built to power and connect small PoE deployments at full Gigabit speed. Four of its eight ports supply PoE+ power directly over the same cable that carries data — enough for a handful of IP cameras, access points, or phones — while the remaining four are standard Gigabit data-only ports for your other network devices.

With up to 64W of PoE budget shared across the four PoE+ ports, intelligent power management that prioritises higher-priority ports under load, and QoS support to keep latency-sensitive traffic smooth, it is a solid step up from a non-PoE desktop switch for small camera or access-control jobs that also need Gigabit speed. Supplied through Total Security Equipment.

Key Capabilities

4 PoE+ Ports, Up to 64W Total

Ports 1–4 supply IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ power, up to 30W per port and ≈64W shared across all four.

All 8 Ports Are Gigabit

Every port — PoE and data-only alike — runs at full 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit speed.

Intelligent Power Management

Automatically prioritises higher-priority ports if total PoE demand exceeds the switch's budget.

Plug & Play, No Config

Fully unmanaged — connect your devices and it works, with no software or login required.

Best For

Gigabit Camera Deployments

Powers up to 4 IP cameras directly at full Gigabit speed, plus 4 more data-only Gigabit ports.

Mixed PoE & Data Setups

A tidy way to power access points or cameras alongside regular Gigabit devices from one switch.

Small Business Surveillance

Suits small offices, dormitories, and small businesses needing PoE with Gigabit headroom.

Why Choose This Switch

Not every PoE job needs a large rack-mount switch. The TL-SG1008P packs 4 PoE+ ports and full Gigabit speed on all 8 ports into a compact metal desktop unit — ideal when you need to power a few cameras or access devices and also want Gigabit throughput on your other connections. It is backed by TP-Link's long track record in unmanaged switching and is available from Total Security Equipment.

Buyer Decision Tips

Only 4 of 8 Ports Supply PoE: Ports 1–4 are PoE+, ports 5–8 are Gigabit data-only. If you need more than 4 powered devices, ask our team about a larger PoE switch — including our Ruijie PoE switch range.
PoE Budget Depends on Hardware Version: TP-Link has shipped several hardware revisions of this model over the years — early versions were rated at a lower 53–55W total PoE budget (802.3af only, 15.4W max per port), while current-production units are rated for 64W total (802.3af/at, up to 30W per port). If your total camera/device power draw is close to the limit, confirm the exact PoE budget of your unit with our team before finalising your device count.
Not the Same as the TL-SG1008D: Total Security Equipment also stocks the TL-SG1008D — a similarly named, plastic-cased, non-PoE Gigabit switch. This TL-SG1008P is the PoE-capable, metal-cased step-up model at a higher price point. Check you're ordering the right one for your needs.

TL-SG1008P vs. TL-SG1008D — Know the Difference

Total Security Equipment stocks both models in this 8-port Gigabit desktop family. They are not the same product:

TL-SG1008P (this product) TL-SG1008D
PoE 4 of 8 ports, up to 64W total None
Case Metal Plastic
Mounting Desktop only Desktop or wall-mount
Dimensions ≈171 × 98 × 27mm ≈180 × 90 × 25.5mm

If you need PoE and Gigabit together, this TL-SG1008P is the right choice. If you don't need PoE, the lower-cost TL-SG1008D covers the same 8-port Gigabit job.

Ideal Use Cases

Gigabit CCTV Installs

Powers up to 4 IP cameras at full Gigabit speed from one compact desktop unit.

Access Points & Intercoms

A single-cable power-and-data solution for Wi-Fi access points and door stations.

Mixed Office Networking

Runs PoE devices and regular Gigabit PCs or NVRs from the same switch.

Small Business Surveillance

A practical PoE step-up for small offices needing more than a basic non-PoE switch.

FAQs

1. How many ports supply PoE power?
4 of the 8 ports (ports 1–4) supply PoE+ power; ports 5–8 are standard Gigabit data-only ports.

2. What is the total PoE power budget?
Current-production units are rated for up to 64W total across the 4 PoE+ ports (30W max per port). Some older hardware versions were rated lower, at 53–55W total. Confirm your unit's exact rating with our team if your total device draw is close to the limit.

3. Are all 8 ports Gigabit?
Yes — every port, PoE and data-only alike, runs at full 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit speed.

4. What's the difference between this and the TL-SG1008D?
The TL-SG1008D is a similarly named, lower-cost, plastic-cased Gigabit switch with no PoE. This TL-SG1008P adds 4 PoE+ ports and a metal case for a higher price. Check you're ordering the right one.

5. Where can I buy this switch in Australia?
It's available directly from Total Security Equipment.
