TP-Link TL-SL1218P 16-Port PoE+ Rackmount Switch with 150W Power Budget

The TL-SL1218P is a professional 16-port 10/100 Mbps PoE+ switch with 2 gigabit uplink ports, designed for IP surveillance and small business networking. This plug-and-play rackmount switch delivers 150W total PoE power budget across 16 ports, supporting IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices with up to 30W per port.

Extended Range PoE for Large Area Coverage

The extend mode enables PoE transmission up to 250 meters, significantly exceeding the standard 100m limitation. This makes the TL-SL1218P ideal for deploying IP cameras across large facilities, warehouses, parking lots, and campuses without requiring additional networking equipment.

Optimized for IP Surveillance Systems

Priority Mode ensures ports 1-8 receive higher bandwidth allocation, guaranteeing smooth HD video streaming from critical camera locations. Isolation Mode provides one-click traffic separation for ports 1-16, preventing broadcast storms and enhancing network security by isolating individual camera feeds.

High-Performance Uplink Connectivity

Two gigabit RJ45 ports plus one combo gigabit SFP slot provide 7.2 Gbps switching capacity and 5.36 Mpps packet forwarding rate. This ensures uninterrupted video streaming even when all 16 HD IP cameras operate simultaneously, preventing network bottlenecks.

Intelligent Power Management System

The built-in power management system automatically detects PoE requirements and prevents overload conditions. When power consumption exceeds 150W, the switch prioritizes high-priority ports while temporarily reducing power to lower-priority connections. Non-PoE devices are automatically protected from power damage.

Industrial-Grade Metal Construction

The durable metal casing with dual-fan cooling system supports wide operating temperatures, ensuring reliable 24/7 operation in demanding environments. The 19-inch rackmount design with included brackets enables professional installation in standard network cabinets.

Versatile Application Compatibility

Fully compatible with PoE-powered devices including IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and PoE lighting. Also supports standard network devices like computers, printers, and IPTV boxes through non-PoE ports.
