TP-Link 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch with 4-Port PoE - TL-SG1008P
Login to buyTP-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.

- Description
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
Key Features & Technical Specifications
| Model SKU | TL-SG1008P |
| Brand | TP-Link |
| Ports | 8 × 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Gigabit ports (ports 1–4 PoE+, ports 5–8 data-only) |
| PoE Standard | IEEE 802.3af/at compliant (current-production units); older hardware versions are 802.3af only — confirm with our team if unsure |
| PoE Power Budget | Up to 30W per PoE port; ≈64W total across all PoE ports (current-production units; older versions ≈53-55W — confirm with our team) |
| Switching Capacity | 16Gbps |
| MAC Address Table | ≈4K entries (current hardware version; some earlier versions list 8K — confirm with our team if this matters for your setup) |
| Jumbo Frame Support | Up to 16KB |
| Management | Unmanaged — plug and play, no configuration or software required |
| Power Supply | External power adapter included (rating varies by hardware version — confirm with our team if you need a replacement adapter); ≈75W max consumption at full PoE load |
| Design | Fanless, metal case, desktop only |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 40°C |
| Dimensions | ≈171mm × 98mm × 27mm |
| Weight | Not confirmed by an independent source — reseller figures range from ≈0.2kg to ≈0.98kg; confirm with our team if exact weight matters for your install |

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.
