Tenda TEF1118P-16-150W 18-Port Smart PoE Switch – 16 PoE Ports + 2 Gigabit Uplinks + SFP

A high throughput PoE switch is provided by the Tenda TEF1118P-16-150W, built for enterprise or large-scale surveillance deployments. Sixteen of its eighteen ports deliver power to devices like cameras, WiFi access points, or sensors via IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, while the remaining two Gigabit RJ-45 ports plus one SFP slot serve as uplinks for backbone connection. With a total PoE budget of up to 150W, this switch enables multiple high-powered devices to operate simultaneously without needing separate power sources.

Robust construction and safety features are included, such as metal housing, 6 kV lightning and surge protection, and support for rack-mount installation. Smart mode options such as VLAN isolation and port priority are provided so that key devices may be assured stable power and bandwidth. LEDs for individual port status and power usage are included so monitoring is simplified, and Auto-MDI/MDIX is supported on all ports to facilitate cabling without worrying about cable type.

Key Features and Explanations

• 16 PoE Output Ports + 3 Uplinks (2 RJ-45 + 1 SFP): Power and data are delivered across sixteen ports, while the uplinks connect this switch to the network backbone with high speed and flexibility.

• 150W Total PoE Power Budget: Enough power is provisioned to serve multiple high-consumption devices (e.g. Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras, powerful APs) without overloading the switch.

• Smart PoE Features & VLAN Isolation: Modes are supported in which PoE ports are isolated from each other to increase network security and reduce interference, while still maintaining connectivity to the uplink.

• Surge & Lightning Protection (6 kV Rated): Protection is applied to Ethernet and power-input sections to reduce damage from voltage surges or electrical storms.

• Rack Mount Form Factor: Designed for installation in networking racks or cabinets to suit professional environments.

• LED Indicators & Auto Features: Each port has link/activity LEDs; cable type mismatches are avoided via Auto-MDI/MDIX; PoE usage is monitored via LED indicators.
