Overview
- The TP-Link TL-SL1311MP is a compact, managed network switch purpose-built for organisations deploying power-hungry network devices across office and outdoor environments. With 8 PoE+ ports delivering up to 30W per port and a combined 124W budget, it simplifies installation of IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones by eliminating the need for separate power supplies.
The standout feature is Extend Mode, which pushes PoE transmission up to 250 metres—significantly beyond the standard 100m limit—making it ideal for campus deployments, multi-floor buildings, and remote installations. Isolation Mode provides one-click traffic separation between connected devices, improving both security and network performance in multi-tenant or mixed-use environments.
Built for reliability, the TL-SL1311MP includes PoE Auto Recovery, which automatically reboots unresponsive devices to minimise downtime. The fanless design ensures silent operation in offices and retail spaces, whilst keeping power consumption low. With 2 Gigabit ports and 1 SFP port for uplink flexibility, plus a 5-year warranty, it's a dependable choice for growing networks.

FAQs
What is PoE+ and which devices does this switch support?
PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) delivers power and data through a single Ethernet cable. The TL-SL1311MP supports IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices including IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, LED lighting systems, and other powered network devices requiring up to 30W per port.
How does Extend Mode work and what is the 250m range?
Extend Mode is activated via a button on the switch and allows PoE power and data transmission to reach up to 250 metres—five times the standard 100m limit. This is useful for deploying devices in multi-floor buildings, campuses, or outdoor installations without additional power infrastructure.
What is Isolation Mode and when should I use it?
Isolation Mode separates client traffic with one click, preventing devices on isolated ports from communicating with each other. This improves security in multi-tenant environments and can boost performance by reducing unnecessary broadcast traffic. It's ideal for retail, healthcare, and shared workspaces.
Can I use this switch in a small office without a network engineer?
Yes. The TL-SL1311MP is plug-and-play with no configuration required for basic operation. Simply connect devices and power. Advanced features like Isolation Mode and Extend Mode are enabled via physical buttons, making setup straightforward for non-technical staff.
What is PoE Auto Recovery and why is it useful?
PoE Auto Recovery automatically detects when a connected device stops responding and reboots it by cycling power. This minimises downtime for unresponsive cameras, access points, or other devices without requiring manual intervention.
Does the fanless design affect performance or reliability?
No. The fanless design reduces power consumption and eliminates noise—benefits for office environments—whilst maintaining full performance. The switch's compact form factor and efficient components ensure reliable operation without cooling fans.
What are the Gigabit ports used for?
The 2 Gigabit RJ45 ports and 1 Gigabit SFP port serve as uplinks to your core network, providing faster connectivity for servers, network storage, or connections to other switches. This separates PoE device traffic from backbone traffic for better efficiency.
Is this switch managed or unmanaged?
The TL-SL1311MP is a managed switch, offering advanced features like Isolation Mode, PoE Auto Recovery, and Extend Mode control. However, it requires no active management for basic operation and is suitable for businesses wanting simplicity with optional advanced capabilities.
