Frequently Asked Questions
How many PoE devices can I connect to the TL-SG1016PE?
Up to 8 PoE or PoE+ devices can be powered simultaneously via the dedicated PoE+ ports. The total PoE power budget is 110W, so ensure the combined power draw of connected devices does not exceed this limit.
Does this switch require any software configuration?
No. The TL-SG1016PE is a plug-and-play unmanaged switch. Simply connect your devices and cables — no login, software, or configuration is required.
Can I rackmount this switch?
Yes. The package includes a rackmount kit for standard 1U rack installation, as well as rubber feet for desktop use.
Is this switch compatible with all PoE IP cameras?
It is compatible with any IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at compliant PoE device, which covers the vast majority of IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones available in Australia.
What cable type is required?
For Gigabit speeds, use Cat 5e, Cat 6, or above UTP/STP cable up to 100 metres per run. Cat 3 or Cat 5 cable is sufficient for 10/100Mbps connections.
