Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch features eight 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports, with four of those ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ standards. The 2K entry MAC address table supports auto-learning and auto-aging, efficiently managing network traffic without manual intervention. It uses twisted pair cabling and complies with IEEE 802.3x flow control standards for reliable data transmission.
The external power adapter supplies 48VDC at 1.25A, contributing to the switch's low 2.30W power consumption during typical operation. The unmanaged design means there are no web interfaces, CLI, or SNMP management capabilities—ideal for environments where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are priorities.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Port/Expansion Slot Details, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages

- Up to 57W usable for PoE devices
- External 48VDC power adapter
Plug-and-Play Operation
As an unmanaged Layer 2 switch, it requires no configuration. Simply connect your devices, and the switch automatically learns MAC addresses and forwards traffic accordingly.
- Auto-learning MAC address table
- No management software needed
- LED status indicators
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is ideal for small-scale network expansions where simplicity and PoE support are key. Its desktop form factor and unmanaged operation make it straightforward to deploy in environments without dedicated IT staff.
Common applications include powering VoIP phones in a small office, connecting wireless access points in a retail store, or linking security cameras in a home surveillance system. The metal construction ensures durability in everyday use, while the compact dimensions (6.70" W x 3.90" D x 1.10" H) allow flexible placement on desks or shelves.
Small Office Networking
Expand wired connectivity for computers, printers, and PoE devices like IP phones or access points in offices with up to eight devices.
Retail or Hospitality
Connect point-of-sale systems, digital signage, or guest Wi-Fi access points where PoE simplifies installation and reduces power outlet requirements.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 6.70 inches wide, 3.90 inches deep, and 1.10 inches high (170.18 mm x 99.06 mm x 27.94 mm), with a solid metal enclosure that resists wear and dissipates heat effectively. Its desktop design includes rubber feet to prevent sliding, and the external power adapter keeps the main unit compact. The low 2.30W power consumption contributes to energy efficiency in always-on deployments.

FAQ
How many PoE ports does this switch have, and what is the power budget?
The TL-SF1008P has four PoE+ ports that support the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards. The total PoE budget is 66W, with each PoE port capable of delivering up to 15.4W. This allows you to power devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras directly through the Ethernet cable without separate power adapters.
Is this a managed or unmanaged switch?
This is an unmanaged Layer 2 switch. It does not support web management, CLI, SNMP, or VLAN configuration. It operates on a plug-and-play basis, automatically learning MAC addresses and forwarding traffic, making it ideal for simple deployments where advanced features are not required.
What are the dimensions and form factor of this switch?
The switch has a desktop form factor with dimensions of 6.70 inches wide, 3.90 inches deep, and 1.10 inches high (170.18 mm x 99.06 mm x 27.94 mm). It is constructed from metal for durability and includes rubber feet to prevent sliding on surfaces. The compact size allows flexible placement on desks, shelves, or in network closets.
What type of Ethernet speeds does this switch support?
This switch supports Fast Ethernet technology, which operates at 10/100 Mbps speeds. It uses 10/100Base-TX network technology over twisted pair cabling. It is suitable for basic networking needs but does not support Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) or higher speeds.
Does this switch include SFP or fiber uplink ports?
No, the TL-SF1008P does not include SFP slots or fiber uplink ports. All eight ports are RJ-45 copper ports for twisted pair connections. If you require fiber connectivity or uplink expansion, you would need a switch with SFP capabilities or a media converter.
What is included in the package with this switch?
The package includes the TL-SF1008P 8-port desktop switch, an external power adapter (output: 48VDC / 1.25A), and an installation guide. No Ethernet cables are included, so you will need to provide Cat5e or better cables to connect your devices.
