With a 120W total PoE budget, 30W per port, and intelligent power management built in, it’s purpose-built for IP camera installations, wireless access point deployments, and small business networks where simplicity and reliability matter. PoE Auto Recovery automatically reboots unresponsive devices, reducing the need for manual intervention on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16 × Gigabit PoE+ Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every port delivers both data and power — no dedicated uplink ports consuming PoE budget.

(PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes every port on the TL-SG116P support PoE+?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All 16 ports are PoE+ capable, each delivering up to 30W. There are no dedicated uplink ports that consume PoE budget without powering devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many IP cameras can the TL-SG116P power simultaneously?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 120W total PoE budget, the number of cameras depends on each camera’s power draw. For example, 16 cameras drawing 7.5W each would consume exactly 120W. Most standard IP cameras draw between 5W and 15W, so real-world capacity is typically 8–16 cameras depending on the models used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Extend Mode and when should I use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtend Mode increases the maximum cable run from the standard 100m Ethernet limit to 250 metres by reducing the link speed to 10Mbps. It’s ideal for perimeter cameras, gate cameras, or any device located far from the switch on a large property. Enable it via the hardware DIP switch on the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does PoE Auto Recovery do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoE Auto Recovery periodically checks the status of connected PoE devices. If a device (such as an IP camera or wireless AP) stops responding, the switch automatically cuts and restores power to reboot it — similar to unplugging and replugging the device — without any manual intervention required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the TL-SG116P with non-PoE devices?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The switch automatically detects whether a connected device is PoE-capable. Non-PoE devices (such as computers or NVRs) connect normally via Ethernet without receiving any power — there is no risk of damage to non-PoE equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the TL-SG116P managed or unmanaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TL-SG116P is an unmanaged switch — it requires no software, web interface, or configuration to operate. Mode settings (Extend, Priority, Isolation) are configured via physical DIP switches on the unit. If you require VLAN, QoS, or remote management, consider TP-Link’s managed PoE switch range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it fanless?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The TL-SG116P operates silently without a cooling fan, making it suitable for quiet environments such as offices, reception areas, and meeting rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TP-Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44387471065317,"sku":"TL-SG116P","price":209.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1554\/1221\/files\/tp-link-tl-sg116p-16-port-gigabit-poe-plus-switch..webp?v=1779678076","url":"https:\/\/cctvguru.com.au\/products\/tp-link-tl-sg116p-16-port-gigabit-poe-plus-desktop-switch","provider":"CCTV Guru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
