Product Features

16 PoE+ Ports for High-Power Devices

Sixteen RJ45 ports support IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ standards, each delivering up to 30W of power per port. Ideal for deploying multiple PoE devices without the need for additional power supplies or cabling.

Total PoE Budget of 192W

The generous 192W power budget supports full-scale PoE deployments for security systems, wireless networks, or voice communication setups.

2 Gigabit Uplink Ports

Two additional non-PoE Gigabit ports ensure high-speed uplink capability for routers, core switches, or servers—providing uninterrupted data transfer and improved backbone performance.

Easy Smart Management

The TL-SG1218MPE offers simplified Layer 2 management, including VLAN tagging, port mirroring, QoS for traffic prioritization, and IGMP snooping for optimizing multicast traffic—making it easy to manage bandwidth and network efficiency.

Intelligent Power Allocation

Built-in PoE management automatically detects the power status of connected devices and prioritizes critical connections when the total power budget is at risk, ensuring reliable and safe power distribution.

Plug and Play Setup

Installation is quick and effortless with no configuration required for basic operation. Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables, and all ports support auto-negotiation.

Durable Design with Cooling Fan

Housed in a rugged metal enclosure and equipped with a built-in cooling fan, the switch ensures stable performance in continuous-use environments such as surveillance control rooms or server cabinets.
