The TP-Link TL-SG105PE 5-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch with 4-Port PoE+ is designed to enhance network flexibility and management for small offices, home offices, and other demanding environments. Equipped with five 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports, including four PoE+ ports that comply with 802.3af/at standards, this switch provides up to 30W per port and a total PoE power budget of 65W. This makes it ideal for powering IP cameras, access points, IP phones, and other PoE devices, while also supporting non-PoE devices such as PCs, printers, and IPTV through its gigabit capabilities.

The switch offers an array of advanced features, including VLAN support for enhanced security, QoS for prioritizing network traffic, and IGMP snooping for optimizing multicast performance. The web-based user interface and Easy Smart Configuration Utility simplify network monitoring, setup, and management, making it accessible even to those with minimal technical expertise. The fanless design ensures silent operation and reduced energy consumption, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments. Encased in a durable metal housing, the TL-SG105PE is built to withstand rigorous use, providing reliable performance over time.

Key Features

• Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Includes five 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX, offering high-speed connections for both PoE and non-PoE devices.
• PoE+ Ports with 65W Budget: Four PoE+ ports provide up to 30W per port, with a total budget of 65W, supporting a wide range of devices such as IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones. This eliminates the need for additional power sources, simplifying installation and reducing costs.
• Enhanced Network Management: Features such as VLAN, QoS, and IGMP snooping enable better traffic management, security, and efficiency, particularly for bandwidth-sensitive applications like video streaming and VoIP.
• PoE Auto Recovery: Automatically detects and reboots unresponsive PoE-powered devices, ensuring continuous operation without manual intervention, enhancing system stability and reducing downtime.
• Intelligent Power Management: Protects the switch from power overload by prioritizing power delivery to critical devices, automatically adjusting power distribution among connected devices when the total PoE consumption exceeds the budget.
• Durable and Quiet Design: The fanless, metal casing design ensures silent operation and robust durability, making it suitable for various environments, including offices and home setups.
• Plug and Play with Simple Configuration: The switch supports plug-and-play installation, with a user-friendly web-based interface and Easy Smart Configuration Utility that streamline setup and monitoring without the need for extensive IT knowledge.
