Description
TP-Link TL-SG105PE 5-Port Gigabit PoE+ Easy Smart Switch
Reliable PoE+ Switching for IP Cameras, VoIP & Smart Devices
The TP-Link TL-SG105PE is a compact, fanless 5-port Gigabit smart switch with 4 PoE+ ports and a 65 W total power budget. It delivers both data and power over a single Ethernet cable — making it an ideal choice for IP security cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones in homes, small offices, and commercial installations across Australia. Extend Mode pushes PoE reach up to 250 m for remote camera positions, and PoE Auto Recovery automatically restarts unresponsive powered devices without manual intervention.
Key Features
- 4 × 802.3af/at PoE+ ports — up to 30 W per port, 65 W total PoE budget
- 5 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit RJ45 ports with Auto-Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX
- Fanless, silent operation — suitable for noise-sensitive environments
- PoE Auto Recovery — automatically restarts unresponsive PoE devices
- Extend Mode — supports PoE transmission up to 250 m at 10 Mbps
- VLAN support — up to 32 active VLANs (MTU, Port, and Tag-based)
- QoS with Port-Based, 802.1p, and DSCP priority — 4 priority queues
- IGMP Snooping V1/V2/V3, Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention, Cable Diagnostics
- Web-based GUI and Easy Smart Configuration Utility for simple setup
- 10 Gbps switching capacity, 7.44 Mpps forwarding rate
Use Cases
-
IP CCTV Systems: Power and connect up to 4 PoE IP cameras without separate power supplies — ideal for small surveillance installations.
-
Wireless Access Points: Deploy PoE-powered APs throughout a small office or retail space without additional power cabling.
-
VoIP Phones: Prioritise voice traffic with QoS to ensure call quality on small business phone systems.
-
Long-Run Installations: Use Extend Mode to push PoE up to 250 m for remote camera positions where cable runs are long.
-
Small Office Networks: Segment traffic with VLANs and monitor network health with port mirroring and cable diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many PoE cameras can I connect to the TL-SG105PE?
You can connect up to 4 PoE-powered devices (ports 1–4). The total PoE budget is 65 W — if each camera draws 15 W, all 4 ports can run simultaneously at full load. Higher-draw devices (e.g., PTZ cameras at 25–30 W) will reduce the number of simultaneous powered ports.
Does this switch require any configuration out of the box?
No. It works plug-and-play for basic switching and PoE. The web GUI and Easy Smart Configuration Utility are available for advanced features like VLANs, QoS, and port mirroring when needed.
Is the TL-SG105PE compatible with non-TP-Link PoE cameras?
Yes. It complies with the IEEE 802.3af/at standard, so it is compatible with any standards-compliant PoE or PoE+ device regardless of brand.
What is Extend Mode and when should I use it?
Extend Mode reduces port speed to 10 Mbps to extend PoE transmission range up to 250 m. It is useful for remote camera positions where the cable run exceeds the standard 100 m Ethernet limit.
What is PoE Auto Recovery?
PoE Auto Recovery periodically checks the status of connected PoE devices. If a device becomes unresponsive (e.g., a frozen IP camera), the switch automatically power-cycles that port to restart the device — without any manual intervention.
Does the switch have a fan?
No. The TL-SG105PE is completely fanless, making it silent and suitable for offices, reception areas, server cabinets, or any noise-sensitive environment.
