Use Cases
-
IP CCTV Systems: Power and connect up to 8 PoE IP cameras without separate power supplies. Use Extend Mode to push PoE up to 250 m for remote camera positions.
-
Small Office Networks: Connect PoE VoIP phones and wireless access points while using the Gigabit uplinks to connect to a core switch or router.
-
Wireless Access Points: Deploy PoE-powered APs throughout a small office or retail space without additional power cabling.
-
Retail & Hospitality: Isolation Mode separates guest and staff device traffic on the same switch for improved security.
-
Fibre Uplink Installations: The Gigabit SFP port allows connection to a fibre uplink or fibre-connected core switch for longer-distance backbone runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many PoE cameras can I connect to the TL-SL1311MP?
Up to 8 PoE-powered devices on ports 1–8. The total PoE budget is 124 W — if each camera draws 15 W, all 8 ports can run simultaneously. Higher-draw devices (e.g., PTZ cameras at 25–30 W) will reduce the number of simultaneous powered ports. Plan your PoE budget based on the actual wattage of your connected devices.
What is Extend Mode and when should I use it?
Extend Mode reduces port speed to 10 Mbps to extend PoE data and power transmission up to 250 m. It is useful for remote camera positions where the cable run exceeds the standard 100 m Ethernet limit. Activate it via the hardware button on the switch — it can be applied to ports 1–4 or ports 1–8.
What is PoE Auto Recovery?
PoE Auto Recovery monitors connected PoE devices and automatically power-cycles any device that becomes unresponsive — similar to unplugging and replugging the device. This is particularly useful for IP cameras or access points that may occasionally freeze or lock up, reducing the need for on-site intervention.
What is Isolation Mode?
Isolation Mode separates client traffic between PoE ports so that devices connected to different ports cannot communicate directly with each other — only with the uplink. This improves security in environments where you don’t want devices to see each other, such as guest Wi-Fi APs or public-facing kiosks.
Can I use the SFP port for a fibre uplink?
Yes. The Gigabit SFP port accepts standard SFP MSA-compliant transceivers, including TP-Link’s SM311LS (single-mode, 10 km) and compatible multi-mode modules, allowing you to connect the switch to a fibre-based core switch or backbone over longer distances.
