Description
Power and Connect Up to 4 PoE Devices with a Single Cable
The TP-Link TL-SF1005P is a compact, plug-and-play unmanaged switch with four 802.3af PoE ports and a generous 58W total power budget. It eliminates the need for separate power adapters by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable — making it a practical choice for small CCTV installations, wireless access point deployments, and VoIP phone 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 or injectors.
-
58W Total PoE Budget: Up to 15.4W per PoE port, with a combined budget of 58W across all four ports — higher than many comparable desktop switches.
-
5× 10/100Mbps RJ45 Ports: Four PoE-enabled ports plus one uplink port for connecting to your router or network.
-
Plug & Play: No configuration, software, or management interface required — connect and it works immediately.
-
Fanless & Silent: Completely silent operation — suitable for desks, reception areas, and home installations.
-
Auto-Negotiation & Auto MDI/MDIX: Automatically adjusts to connected devices and cable types for hassle-free setup.
-
Overload Protection: Automatically manages power distribution to prevent overloading connected PoE devices.
-
Compact Form Factor: Small desktop footprint (99.8 × 98 × 25mm) fits easily on a desk, shelf, or inside a cabinet.
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
- Expanding a home or office network to locations without nearby power outlets
- Replacing a PoE injector with a multi-port solution for cleaner cable management

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the TL-SF1005P and the TL-SF1005LP?
The TL-SF1005P has a higher total PoE budget of 58W compared to the TL-SF1005LP's 41W. The TL-SF1005P also lacks the Extend Mode (250m) and Priority Mode features found on the TL-SF1005LP. If you need longer cable runs, choose the TL-SF1005LP; if you need more total PoE power, choose the TL-SF1005P.
Is the TL-SF1005P managed or unmanaged?
It is an unmanaged switch. There is no web interface, app, or software — it operates automatically with no configuration required. Simply plug in your devices and it works.
Can I use it with 802.3at (PoE+) devices?
The TL-SF1005P supports IEEE 802.3af only, providing 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 TP-Link PoE+ switch.
How many IP cameras can I connect?
Up to 4 IP cameras can be connected via the PoE ports (Ports 1–4). The fifth port is a standard uplink port for connecting to your router or NVR. Ensure the total power draw of all connected cameras does not exceed 58W.
Does it support VLAN or QoS?
No. As an unmanaged switch, it does not support VLAN, QoS, or any advanced traffic management. It is designed for simple plug-and-play deployments.
What cable length is supported for PoE?
Standard Ethernet cable runs up to 100m are supported for both data and PoE power delivery. Unlike the TL-SF1005LP, this model does not include an Extend Mode for longer runs.
