Description
TP-Link TL-SG1210P – 10-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch with 8-Port PoE+ and SFP Slot
The TP-Link TL-SG1210P is a fanless 10-port Gigabit switch with PoE+ on eight ports, a dedicated Gigabit SFP fibre slot, and a 63W total PoE budget — all in a compact desktop form factor. Designed for small to medium IP camera installations, wireless AP deployments, and mixed wired/wireless office networks, it delivers data and power over a single cable to up to eight devices with no configuration required. The SFP slot adds flexibility for fibre uplinks to a core switch or NVR over longer distances.
Key Features
-
8 × PoE+ Ports (Ports 1–8): IEEE 802.3af/at compliant, delivering up to 30W per port for IP cameras, wireless APs, VoIP phones, and access control devices.
-
63W Total PoE Budget: Sufficient to simultaneously power multiple cameras and APs from a single switch.
-
1 × Gigabit SFP Slot: Supports single-mode and multi-mode fibre transceivers for long-distance uplinks to a core switch, NVR, or fibre backbone — without running copper cable.
-
9 × Gigabit RJ45 Ports + 1 SFP: 10 total ports with full 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX on all copper ports.
-
Fanless Silent Operation: No moving parts — completely silent, suitable for offices, reception areas, and noise-sensitive environments.
-
Plug and Play: No configuration, software, or web interface required — connect and power on.
-
802.1p/DSCP QoS: Prioritises latency-sensitive traffic such as VoIP and IP camera streams for consistent performance.
-
IGMP Snooping: Optimises multicast traffic from IP cameras, reducing unnecessary bandwidth consumption across the network.
-
Physical Security Lock: Kensington-style lock slot for securing the switch in accessible locations.
-
20Gbps Switching Capacity: Non-blocking architecture ensures full-speed performance across all ports simultaneously.
Ideal Use Cases
- Powering and connecting up to 8 IP cameras in a CCTV installation without separate PoE injectors or power supplies.
- Deploying multiple wireless access points across an office, retail space, or warehouse from a single switch.
- Mixed installations combining IP cameras, APs, VoIP phones, and wired computers on a single compact switch.
- Using the SFP slot for a fibre uplink to a core switch or NVR located beyond the 100-metre copper cable limit.
- Small business networks requiring a silent, desktop-sized PoE switch with fibre uplink capability.
- Replacing multiple PoE injectors with a single managed-free switch for cleaner, more cost-effective installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which ports support PoE on the TL-SG1210P?
Ports 1 through 8 are PoE+ capable (IEEE 802.3af/at). Port 9 is a standard Gigabit RJ45 uplink port, and Port 10 is the Gigabit SFP slot — neither supports PoE.
What is the total PoE power budget?
The TL-SG1210P has a 63W total PoE budget shared across all eight PoE ports. Each port can deliver up to 30W individually, but the combined draw across all eight ports cannot exceed 63W.
How many IP cameras can I power simultaneously?
Up to eight cameras. The actual number depends on each camera’s PoE power draw. For example, eight cameras drawing 7W each totals 56W — within the 63W budget. Higher-wattage cameras (e.g. PTZ cameras at 25–30W) will reduce the number that can be powered concurrently.
What SFP transceivers are compatible with the SFP slot?
The SFP slot supports standard Gigabit SFP transceivers for both multi-mode fibre (MMF, e.g. 1000BASE-SX) and single-mode fibre (SMF, e.g. 1000BASE-LX). TP-Link-branded SFP modules are recommended for guaranteed compatibility. SFP transceivers are sold separately.
Does it require any configuration?
No. The TL-SG1210P is fully plug and play. Connect your devices and power on — no web interface, software, or CLI configuration is required.
What is the difference between the TL-SG1210P and the TL-SG1005LP?
The TL-SG1210P has 10 ports (8 PoE+) with a 63W budget and a Gigabit SFP slot for fibre uplinks. The TL-SG1005LP has 5 ports (4 PoE+) with a 40W budget and no SFP slot. Choose the TL-SG1210P for larger installations requiring more PoE ports, higher budget, or fibre connectivity.
What is the difference between the TL-SG1210P and the TL-SG116P?
The TL-SG116P has 16 PoE+ ports with a 120W budget and is designed for larger deployments. The TL-SG1210P has 8 PoE+ ports with a 63W budget plus a Gigabit SFP slot, making it better suited for medium-sized installations that also need a fibre uplink option.
