Description
TP-Link TL-SG105MPE 5-Port Gigabit PoE+ Easy Smart Switch
The TP-Link TL-SG105MPE is a compact, fanless 5-port Gigabit smart switch designed for small business, surveillance, and office network deployments across Australia. With four IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ ports and a 120W total power budget, it delivers both data and power over a single Ethernet cable — eliminating the need for separate power adapters for IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. Optional web-based management adds QoS, VLAN, and PoE Auto Recovery for a clean, controlled network without the complexity of a full managed switch.
Key Features
-
5 × Gigabit RJ45 Ports — All ports run at 10/100/1000Mbps for high-speed wired connectivity across all connected devices.
-
4 × IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ Ports — Power up to four PoE devices simultaneously — up to 30W per port and 120W total budget.
-
120W Total PoE Budget — Sufficient to power four full-wattage PoE+ devices (e.g. 4 × VIGI cameras or APs) from a single switch.
-
PoE Auto Recovery — Automatically monitors and power-cycles unresponsive PoE devices — keeping IP cameras and access points online without manual intervention.
-
Easy Smart Management — Web UI and Easy Smart Configuration Utility provide optional management for QoS, VLAN, network monitoring, and port isolation — without the complexity of a full managed switch.
-
QoS Traffic Prioritisation — Prioritise bandwidth for time-sensitive traffic such as IP camera streams and VoIP calls.
-
VLAN Support — Segment your network to isolate IP cameras, guest Wi-Fi, and office devices on separate logical networks.
-
Fanless & Silent — No moving parts means completely silent operation — ideal for office environments and comms rooms.
-
Metal Enclosure — Robust all-metal casing for long-term reliability in commercial environments.
-
Plug & Play — Works out of the box with no configuration required; management features are optional.
Use Cases
- CCTV and IP camera systems — power and connect up to 4 PoE IP cameras without separate injectors or power adapters
- Wireless access point deployment — power PoE APs across offices, warehouses, or retail spaces from a single switch
- VoIP and IP phone installations — simplify desk phone setup with single-cable power and data
- Small business networks requiring basic VLAN segmentation and QoS without a full managed switch
- Home offices and small server rooms needing a compact, silent Gigabit PoE switch

Recommended Accessories
-
TP-Link VIGI C440 4MP Full-Colour Turret Camera — Connect up to 4 VIGI PoE cameras directly to the TL-SG105MPE for a complete 4-camera IP surveillance system without a separate NVR.
-
TP-Link VIGI NVR1104H-4P — If centralised recording is required, the NVR’s built-in PoE+ switch replaces the TL-SG105MPE for a fully integrated system.
-
TP-Link TL-WA3001 AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Access Point — Power a Wi-Fi 6 AP from one of the PoE+ ports for combined wired and wireless network expansion.
-
Cat6 Ethernet Cable — Recommended for reliable Gigabit and PoE+ delivery to all connected devices.
-
TP-Link TL-SM331T RJ45 SFP Module — If your core switch has an SFP uplink, use this copper SFP module to connect the TL-SG105MPE via Cat6.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many PoE devices can I connect simultaneously?
Up to 4 PoE devices across the 4 dedicated PoE+ ports (ports 1–4). The total power budget is 120W — ensure the combined power draw of your devices does not exceed this limit. For example, four 25W PoE+ cameras would draw 100W total, leaving 20W of headroom.
Is the TL-SG105MPE compatible with non-PoE devices?
Yes. All 5 ports support standard wired devices such as PCs, NVRs, and printers. Only ports 1–4 supply PoE power; port 5 is a standard Gigabit uplink port.
Does this switch require any configuration to use?
No. It works plug-and-play out of the box with no configuration required. The web interface and Easy Smart Configuration Utility are optional for advanced features like VLANs, QoS, and PoE scheduling.
What is PoE Auto Recovery?
PoE Auto Recovery monitors connected PoE devices and automatically power-cycles them if they become unresponsive — useful for keeping IP cameras and access points online without manual intervention. This is particularly valuable in unmanned installations such as remote sites or after-hours retail environments.
What is the difference between the TL-SG105MPE and a fully managed switch?
The TL-SG105MPE is an “Easy Smart” switch — it offers more features than a basic unmanaged switch (QoS, VLAN, monitoring, PoE Auto Recovery) but is simpler and less expensive than a full managed switch. It does not support advanced features such as RSTP, LACP, SNMP, or CLI management. For larger or more complex networks, consider TP-Link’s JetStream managed switch range.
Is this switch suitable for powering outdoor IP cameras?
The switch itself is designed for indoor installation. It can power outdoor-rated PoE IP cameras via indoor-to-outdoor cabling runs of up to 100 metres. Ensure the cable is rated for outdoor use and the camera carries an appropriate IP weather rating for its installation location.
