The TP-Link TL-SG1218MP is an unmanaged Layer 2 (L2) switch with high performance, intended for use in monitoring, telecommunications, and small to medium-sized business networks. The device offers 18 ports, including 16 Gigabit Ethernet ($10/100/1000\text{ Mb/s}$) RJ45 ports and 2 Combo ports, which can function as additional Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports or as SFP slots for $1\text{ Gb/s}$ fiber optic connections. All 16 RJ45 ports support Power over Ethernet (PoE Out) functionality under the IEEE $802.3\text{af}$ and $802.3\text{at}$ (PoE+) standards. The switch is characterized by a very high total PoE power budget of $250\text{ W}$, with the capability to deliver up to $30\text{ W}$ per single port. The device operates in Store-and-Forward mode and is suitable for rack mounting ($1\text{ U}$). It offers basic, unmanaged functions such as automatic speed negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX.

Switch Designed for Multiple Applications 16 PoE+ Ports with a Total Power of 250 W

Compliance with the $802.3\text{af/at}$ PoE+ standard ensures the ability to offer up to $30\text{ W}$ of power on each PoE port. The $250\text{ W}$ total PoE power supply budget* of the switch, equipped with 16 Gigabit PoE+ ports, is an ideal solution for monitoring systems, offices, dormitories, and small businesses, among others. The device is fully compatible with IP cameras, access points, IP phones, computers, printers, etc.

Plug and Play

QoS, Lag-Free Access

Ensures smooth network traffic for latency-sensitive applications, such as voice and video calls, by prioritizing traffic.

Intelligent Power Consumption Management

When the total power consumption exceeds $250\text{ W}$, the intelligent power consumption management feature turns off power to the port with the lowest priority to ensure power supply to ports with higher priorities, thus protecting the device from overload.

Wide Operating Temperature Range and Good Heat Dissipation

The durable metal casing and professional heat dissipation design ensure a wide permissible operating temperature range ($0\text{–}50 \text{°C}$)

Multiple Applications

The TL-SG1218MP is fully compatible with PoE devices such as IP cameras, Access Points, and IP phones. It also works with non-PoE devices to provide Gigabit connections to computers, printers, and IP TV.
