Product Features
Technical Overview
The TL-SF1005P provides Layer 2 switching for basic network segmentation and traffic management across its five 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports. It supports twisted-pair cabling and adheres to key networking standards including IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at for PoE+ delivery, and 802.3x for flow control to prevent data loss during high traffic.
The switch's 67W total PoE budget is intelligently allocated across its four PoE+ ports, allowing simultaneous power to multiple devices. Its compact desktop form factor measures 3.93" wide by 3.86" deep by 0.98" high (99.80 x 98 x 25 mm), with wall-mounting capability for flexible placement. Power is supplied through an included external adapter, with the switch itself consuming only 1.90W during operation.

- Ideal for surveillance systems
- Maintains power delivery at distance
- Automatic speed negotiation
Traffic Prioritization
Priority Mode on ports 1-2 ensures video and voice data receive preferential treatment, reducing latency for critical applications without complex configuration.
- Ports 1-2 prioritized
- Better QoS for real-time media
- Hardware-based implementation
Deployment / Use Cases
The TL-SF1005P excels in small office and retail environments where simple network expansion with PoE capability is needed. Its compact size and wall-mount options make it ideal for space-constrained installations like behind point-of-sale systems, in network closets, or mounted near ceiling-mounted access points.
Surveillance system integrators frequently deploy this switch for IP camera networks, utilizing both the PoE+ power delivery and Extend Mode to cover larger areas without additional power infrastructure. The switch also serves well in VoIP deployments, powering multiple desk phones while providing Priority Mode for clear voice transmission.

Physical Profile
The switch's metal enclosure provides durability and effective heat dissipation without active cooling. Its compact dimensions (3.93"W × 3.86"D × 0.98"H) allow placement on desktops, shelves, or wall mounting using included hardware. The RoHS-compliant construction meets environmental standards while the solid build quality ensures reliable operation in varied temperature conditions.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.98" (25 mm), 3.93" (99.80 mm), 3.86" (98 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
How many devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The TL-SF1005P can power up to four PoE+ devices simultaneously through its dedicated PoE+ ports. The total available power budget is 67W, which is dynamically allocated across all connected PoE devices. Each port can deliver up to 30W under the IEEE 802.3at standard, allowing you to power devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points without individual power adapters.
What is the difference between the PoE and non-PoE ports?
This switch has four PoE+ ports (ports 1-4) that can deliver both data and power to connected devices, and one standard Fast Ethernet port (port 5) that provides data connectivity only. The PoE+ ports support IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards for power delivery, while all five ports offer identical 10/100 Mbps data performance. The non-PoE port is ideal for connecting devices that have their own power supply, such as computers or printers.
Can this switch be wall-mounted?
Yes, the TL-SF1005P includes mounting hardware for wall installation. Its compact metal housing features standardized mounting points that allow secure attachment to walls, under desks, or in network cabinets. This flexibility makes it suitable for installations where desktop space is limited or where you need to position the switch closer to powered devices like ceiling-mounted access points or security cameras.
What networking standards does this switch support?
The switch complies with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at for PoE+ power delivery, IEEE 802.3x for flow control to prevent packet loss during network congestion, and 10/100Base-T for Fast Ethernet connectivity. It operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, providing basic switching functionality including MAC address learning and forwarding. These standards ensure compatibility with most network devices and reliable data transmission.
How does Extend Mode work and when should I use it?
Extend Mode allows both data and power transmission up to 250 meters over Cat5e or Cat6 cable, compared to the standard 100-meter limit. When enabled, the connection speed automatically reduces to 10 Mbps to maintain signal integrity over the extended distance. This mode is particularly useful for surveillance systems where cameras need to be placed far from the network closet without additional power infrastructure or signal boosters.
Is this switch manageable through a web interface or software?
No, the TL-SF1005P is an unmanaged switch designed for plug-and-play operation. It requires no configuration, software installation, or management interface. All features including PoE delivery, Priority Mode, and Extend Mode function automatically based on the connected devices and cable conditions. This makes it ideal for deployments where simplicity and immediate functionality are priorities over advanced configuration options.
