Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TL-SF1048 a managed or unmanaged switch?
It is an unmanaged switch. There is no web interface, CLI, or software required — simply plug in your cables and it works immediately.
Can I rack-mount the TL-SF1048?
Yes. The TL-SF1048 fits a standard 19-inch equipment rack and occupies 1U of rack space. Rack-mount brackets are included.
Does it support VLANs or QoS?
No. As an unmanaged switch, it does not support VLANs, QoS, or port mirroring. For those features, consider a managed switch from the TP-Link TL-SG series.
Is it suitable for IP camera networks?
Yes. The TL-SF1048 is well-suited for connecting IP cameras and NVRs on a dedicated Fast Ethernet segment, particularly in installations where PoE is provided by a separate injector or PoE switch upstream.
Does it ship Australia-wide?
Yes. CCTV Guru ships the TL-SF1048 Australia-wide from local stock.
