User Manual
FAQ
What is the total PoE budget of this switch and how many devices can it power?
The TP-LINK Omada Pro S5500-8MHP2XF provides a 240W total PoE budget. This substantial power allocation allows the switch to simultaneously power multiple PoE+ devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other network equipment. The exact number of devices depends on their individual power requirements, but with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ support, the switch can deliver up to 30W per port, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices across all eight RJ-45 ports when needed.
What types of SFP modules are compatible with the two SFP+ slots?
The two SFP+ expansion slots support 10Gigabit optical fiber modules, providing high-speed uplink connectivity. These slots are compatible with standard SFP+ transceivers for various fiber types including multi-mode and single-mode with appropriate distance ratings. The slots can also accommodate 1Gigabit SFP modules for backward compatibility with existing fiber infrastructure. This flexibility allows network administrators to choose the most cost-effective and appropriate fiber solution for their specific distance and bandwidth requirements.
