Description
Simple, Reliable PoE Power for Cameras and Access Points
The TP-Link TL-SF1005LP is a compact, plug-and-play desktop switch that delivers both data and power over a single Ethernet cable to up to four PoE devices. With a 41W total PoE budget, Extend Mode for long cable runs up to 250m, and fanless silent operation, it's an ideal solution for small CCTV installations, IP phone deployments, and wireless access point setups in homes, small offices, and retail environments across Australia.
Key Features
-
4× PoE Ports (802.3af): Power IP cameras, access points, VoIP phones, and other 802.3af-compliant devices without separate power adapters.
-
41W Total PoE Budget: Shared across all four PoE ports — sufficient for most small-scale deployments with standard PoE devices.
-
Extend Mode (up to 250m): Push data and power up to 250 metres at 10Mbps on a single cable run — ideal for cameras positioned far from the switch.
-
Priority Mode (Ports 1–2): Prioritises traffic on ports 1 and 2 to ensure consistent performance for latency-sensitive devices such as IP cameras or VoIP phones.
-
Plug & Play: No configuration, software, or management interface required — simply connect and go.
-
Fanless & Silent: Completely silent operation makes it suitable for office desks, reception areas, and home installations.
-
Compact Desktop Form Factor: Small footprint (100 × 98 × 25mm) fits easily on a desk, shelf, or inside a cabinet.
-
Physical Security Lock: Kensington-style lock slot for securing the unit in shared or public spaces.
Common Use Cases
- Powering 1–4 IP security cameras in small CCTV systems
- Connecting and powering wireless access points in small offices or retail stores
- VoIP phone deployments in reception areas or small teams
- Extending camera cable runs beyond the standard 100m Ethernet limit
- Home network expansion with PoE device support

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TL-SF1005LP managed or unmanaged?
It is an unmanaged switch. There is no web interface, app, or software required — it operates automatically with no configuration needed. Mode switching (Extend/Priority) is done via physical buttons on the unit.
What is the maximum PoE power per port?
Each PoE port supports up to 15.4W (IEEE 802.3af standard). The total shared PoE budget across all four ports is 41W, so plan your device load accordingly.
Can I use it with 802.3at (PoE+) devices?
The TL-SF1005LP supports 802.3af only (up to 15.4W per port). It is not compatible with 802.3at PoE+ devices that require more than 15.4W. For PoE+ devices, consider a PoE+ switch from the TP-Link range.
How does Extend Mode work?
Pressing the Extend Mode button reduces port speed to 10Mbps and extends the maximum cable distance from 100m to 250m on ports 1–4. This is particularly useful for IP cameras installed at the perimeter of a property.
Can I power a PTZ camera with this switch?
It depends on the PTZ camera's power requirement. Most compact PTZ cameras draw under 15.4W and are 802.3af compatible — check your camera's spec sheet. High-power PTZ cameras typically require 802.3at PoE+ or a dedicated power supply.
Does it support VLAN or QoS?
No. As an unmanaged switch, it does not support VLAN, QoS, or any advanced traffic management features. The Priority Mode button provides basic port prioritisation for ports 1–2 only.
