Description
TP-Link TL-SL1311P 8-Port PoE+ Desktop Switch with Gigabit & SFP Uplinks
The TP-Link TL-SL1311P is a compact, fanless 11-port desktop PoE+ switch designed for small business, retail, and surveillance installations across Australia. With eight 802.3af/at PoE+ ports, two Gigabit RJ45 uplinks, and one Gigabit SFP slot, it delivers both data and power over a single cable to IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones — without the need for separate power adapters. Extend Mode pushes PoE power and data up to 250 metres for long-run camera installations, while Isolation Mode and PoE Auto Recovery add security and reliability in a completely silent, plug-and-play package.
Key Features
-
8 × PoE+ Ports (802.3af/at) — Powers up to eight PoE devices simultaneously — up to 30W per port and 65W total budget — via a single Ethernet cable with no separate power adapters required.
-
2 × Gigabit RJ45 Uplink Ports — High-speed Gigabit uplinks connect the switch to your router, NVR, or core network switch for fast data throughput.
-
1 × Gigabit SFP Uplink Slot — Fibre or DAC uplink option for longer-distance or interference-free connections to a core switch or NVR.
-
Extend Mode — Up to 250m PoE Range — Extends PoE power and data transmission up to 250 metres at 10Mbps on a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable — ideal for remote outdoor cameras beyond the standard 100m PoE limit.
-
Isolation Mode — One-click client traffic separation prevents connected PoE devices from communicating with each other — improving security and performance in shared environments.
-
PoE Auto Recovery — Automatically monitors and power-cycles unresponsive PoE devices — keeping IP cameras and access points online without manual intervention.
-
Fanless & Silent — No moving parts means completely silent operation — ideal for office desks, reception areas, and comms rooms.
-
Plug & Play — No configuration required; simply connect and power on for immediate operation.
-
Compact Desktop Form Factor — Small footprint suitable for desk, shelf, or wall installation in space-constrained environments.
Use Cases
- Small CCTV systems — power and connect up to 8 PoE IP cameras without separate injectors or power adapters
- Long-run camera installations — use Extend Mode to reach cameras up to 250m from the switch on a single cable run
- Small office and retail Wi-Fi — power PoE access points from a compact desktop switch without rack infrastructure
- VoIP phone deployments — power and connect IP desk phones with single-cable simplicity
- Isolated guest or IoT networks — use Isolation Mode to prevent PoE devices from accessing each other on shared networks
- Home offices and small server rooms needing a compact, silent PoE switch with a Gigabit SFP uplink option

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Extend Mode and how does it work?
Extend Mode reduces the port speed to 10Mbps and extends the PoE power and data transmission range from the standard 100 metres up to 250 metres on a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable run. This is particularly useful for outdoor IP camera installations where the camera mounting point is further than 100 metres from the switch — eliminating the need for a PoE extender or additional switch at the midpoint.
What is Isolation Mode?
Isolation Mode prevents connected PoE devices from communicating directly with each other on the switch — all traffic is routed through the uplink port only. This improves security in environments where PoE devices should not have access to each other, such as guest Wi-Fi APs, IoT cameras, or shared office environments where device-to-device traffic is undesirable.
Is the 65W PoE budget shared across all 8 ports?
Yes. The 65W total PoE budget is shared across all 8 PoE+ ports. Each port supports up to 30W individually, but the combined draw of all connected PoE devices must not exceed 65W. For example, four 15W PoE cameras would draw 60W — within budget. Plan your PoE device power requirements before deployment to avoid exceeding the total budget.
Does the TL-SL1311P require any configuration?
No. The TL-SL1311P is an unmanaged switch that operates plug-and-play with no configuration required. Extend Mode and Isolation Mode are toggled via physical buttons or DIP switches on the unit — no software or web interface is needed.
What is the difference between the 8 PoE ports and the 3 uplink ports?
The 8 PoE+ ports run at 10/100Mbps and supply PoE power to connected devices such as cameras, APs, and phones. The 2 Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports and 1 Gigabit SFP uplink slot do not supply PoE power and are intended for connecting the switch to your router, NVR, or core network switch at Gigabit speed.
Can I use the SFP slot for a fibre connection?
Yes. The Gigabit SFP slot accepts standard SFP modules including single-mode and multi-mode fibre transceivers, as well as DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cables and RJ45 SFP modules such as the TP-Link TL-SM331T. This allows the TL-SL1311P to connect to a core switch or NVR via fibre for longer-distance or interference-free uplinks.
