The TL-SG1008P is fully unmanaged — plug-and-play with no configuration options. The TL-SG108PE adds web-based management with VLAN, QoS, IGMP Snooping, and Port Mirroring, making it significantly more capable for business and surveillance networks that require traffic control and segmentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the TL-SG108PE support PoE+ (802.3at)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The TL-SG108PE supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE) only, providing up to 15.4W per port. It does not support 802.3at (PoE+). Ensure your powered devices are 802.3af-compliant before purchasing. For PoE+ devices requiring up to 30W, consider the TL-SG1210MP or TL-SF1009P.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many PoE devices can I connect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 4 PoE devices can be connected via ports 1–4. The total shared PoE budget is 55W. For example, four cameras drawing 12W each would use 48W — within the 55W budget. Ports 5–8 are standard Gigabit ports with no PoE capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for IP camera and CCTV networks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The TL-SG108PE powers up to four 802.3af IP cameras directly via PoE, and VLAN support lets you isolate camera traffic from your main network for improved security. IGMP Snooping also helps manage multicast video streams efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is an Easy Smart switch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy Smart is TP-Link's simplified management tier — it provides a web-based interface for configuring VLANs, QoS, IGMP Snooping, and Port Mirroring without the complexity of a fully managed switch. It's ideal for small business owners and installers who need more control than an unmanaged switch but don't require enterprise-level CLI management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it without any configuration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The TL-SG108PE works as a standard plug-and-play switch out of the box — all devices connected will communicate normally without any setup. Smart features such as VLAN and QoS are only applied when you choose to configure them via the web interface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TP-Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43198329618661,"sku":"TL-SG108PE","price":75.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1554\/1221\/files\/tp-link-tl-sg108pe-8-port-gigabit-easy-smart-switch_1.webp?v=1779684875","url":"https:\/\/cctvguru.com.au\/products\/tp-link-tl-sg108pe-8-port-gigabit-easy-smart-poe-switch","provider":"CCTV Guru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
