Overview
- The TP-Link TL-SL1218MP is an unmanaged PoE+ switch purpose-built for surveillance and IoT applications. With 16 PoE+ ports delivering up to 30W each and 192W total power budget, it provides flexible power distribution to IP cameras, wireless access points, and other networked devices. The switch supports extended transmission mode, enabling data and power delivery up to 250m—ideal for large-scale deployments where standard cabling limits are insufficient.
Designed for simplicity and reliability, the TL-SL1218MP requires no configuration and features automatic MAC address learning. Port priority mode ensures video streaming and other critical applications maintain consistent quality, while the 7.2 Gbps switching fabric handles typical surveillance network traffic efficiently. Two gigabit uplink ports and combo SFP slots provide flexible connection options for core network integration.
The switch is housed in a compact 1U rackmount chassis with dual cooling fans for passive operation in equipment racks. Built to commercial standards with IEEE 802.3at/af compliance, it integrates seamlessly into existing PoE ecosystems. Backed by a 5-year Australian warranty, it delivers enterprise-grade reliability for medium to large surveillance and IoT projects.
