User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE ports does this switch have, and what is the total power budget?
The TP-Link TL-SG105PP-M2 has four PoE++ ports that support Power over Ethernet. The total PoE budget is 123 watts, with each PoE++ port capable of delivering up to 60 watts individually. This allows the switch to power multiple high-demand devices like access points, cameras, or phones simultaneously without exceeding its power capacity.
What Ethernet speeds are supported by the ports on this switch?
All five RJ-45 ports support 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, which is 2.5 times faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. They are backward compatible with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps devices, automatically negotiating the highest common speed. This makes the switch suitable for both current and legacy network equipment while providing headroom for future upgrades.
Is this switch manageable, and does it require configuration?
No, this switch is not manageable and operates as a plug-and-play device. It requires no configuration, software, or management interface, making it ideal for users who need a simple, reliable network connection without advanced networking knowledge. Features like auto-negotiation and PoE Auto Recovery work automatically to maintain network stability.
What PoE standards does the switch support for device compatibility?
The switch supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) standards. This broad compatibility ensures it can power a wide range of devices, from low-power IP phones and sensors to high-power access points and cameras that require up to 60W per port. It automatically detects and delivers the appropriate power level to each connected device.
Can this switch be wall-mounted, and what are its physical dimensions?
Yes, the switch is designed for both desktop and wall-mount installation. Its dimensions are 8.23 inches wide, 4.96 inches deep, and 1.02 inches high, with a compact form factor that saves space. The steel chassis provides durability, and included rubber feet offer stability on desks, while wall-mounting options allow for flexible placement in offices or retail environments.
Does the switch have any features to improve network performance for voice or video?
Yes, the switch includes 802.1p/DSCP Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize latency-sensitive traffic like VoIP calls or video streaming. This ensures smoother performance by reducing jitter and packet loss for critical applications. Additionally, the fanless design eliminates noise that could interfere with audio devices in quiet settings.
