TP-Link SG1218MP Gigabit Switch with 16 PoE+ Ports

The TP-Link SG1218MP Gigabit Switch brings high-capacity wired networking to server rooms and offices. Moreover, sixteen PoE+ ports power cameras, phones and wireless access points. As a result, one rack unit replaces several injectors and adapters. Furthermore, two SFP slots extend the network over fibre.

TP-Link SG1218MP Gigabit Switch Port Capacity

First, sixteen RJ45 ports deliver Gigabit speeds with PoE+ power. In addition, two Gigabit SFP slots accept fibre modules for uplinks. Therefore, the switch connects eighteen devices or links in total. Meanwhile, total switching capacity can reach 36 Gbps.

High PoE Budget

Importantly, the total PoE budget reaches 192 W. Additionally, each port supplies up to 30 W. Consequently, power-hungry cameras and access points run side by side. Moreover, ports follow IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards.

Rack-Ready Metal Construction

Also, the 19-inch rackmount form factor fits standard network cabinets. Likewise, the metal casing protects internal components in busy equipment rooms. Moreover, the 1U height saves valuable cabinet space. Besides, front-panel LEDs show port activity at a glance. For example, you can place it beside Storage devices in one tidy cabinet.

Simple Connection Management

Furthermore, Auto MDI/MDIX adjusts each port to the connected cable type. Consequently, you can use straight-through cables everywhere. Additionally, auto-negotiation matches every port to device speed. Hence, mixed networks of older and newer equipment work smoothly.

Reliable Cabling Support

Notably, Category 5e or better cable supports Gigabit links up to 100 metres. The TIA publishes cabling standards that guide such runs. Therefore, choose quality cable for stable performance.

Built for Growth

Moreover, spare ports leave room for future devices. Therefore, businesses add cameras or access points without buying another switch. Additionally, SFP uplinks allow a second cabinet to join over fibre. Consequently, the network scales steadily as demands increase.

Everyday Reliability

Notably, centralised PoE power simplifies backup planning. For example, one UPS can keep every connected camera and phone online during outages.

TP-Link SG1218MP Gigabit Switch Use Cases

Office and Campus Networks

For example, growing offices connect phones, cameras and access points from one cabinet. Consequently, cable routes stay organised and easy to expand. Likewise, Desktops gain fast wired links through spare Gigabit ports.

Surveillance Systems

Moreover, many cameras can draw power and send video over single cables. As a result, large premises gain complete coverage without extra power runs. Furthermore, central power makes camera upgrades simple.

Hotels and Shops

Similarly, hotels and shops power phones and wireless access points centrally. Therefore, guest and staff connectivity stays consistent across floors. Besides, rackmount placement keeps equipment secure in utility rooms.

TP-Link SG1218MP Gigabit Switch Compatibility

Additionally, the switch works with any 802.3af or 802.3at powered device. Meanwhile, standard Gigabit devices connect normally without drawing PoE power. In addition, SFP slots accept compatible fibre or copper modules. For wider coverage, browse our Networking products for routers and access points.
