TP-Link TL-SG1005P, 5 Port Gigabit PoE Switch, 4 PoE+ Ports @65W, Desktop, Plug & Play, Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports, Fanless, QoS & IGMP Snooping

As an expert in networking solutions, I was excited to test the TP-Link TL-SG1005P, and it proved to be an excellent addition to any network setup. This 5 Port Gigabit PoE Switch provides outstanding power-over-Ethernet capabilities with its 4 PoE+ ports, delivering up to 65W of power.

Its plug-and-play design and sturdy metal construction make installation a breeze, and the fanless operation ensures silent and reliable performance. The switch’s shielded ports enhance durability and signal integrity, ensuring a stable network connection.

TP-Link’s commitment to quality is evident with their limited lifetime protection, and features like Quality of Service (QoS) and IGMP snooping further enhance network management and efficiency. Whether you’re an expert in networking or looking to upgrade your home or office network, the TP-Link TL-SG1005P is a solid choice that delivers power, performance, and peace of mind.

The switch works and functions just fine.

I would like to make the following point clear, this is NOT an Omada controlled switch, Omada OC200 will NOT see this switch if you try to add it to ‘Devices’.

TP-Link Support needs to pay attention to the information they are giving out. Now I got to ship this back. So much wasted time.

I acquired this for my home to replace a Netgear PoE switch that died and stopped delivering power. One of the things I particularly liked was the separate uplink (non-PoE) ports, which left a full 16 ports available for downlink connections. I hooked everything up, turned it on, and everything began working, including some ethernet ports that had previously not been getting power. (The specs say it supports 802.3af/at, make sure your devices are compatible.) The fan in the device makes a little bit of noise, so this is ideally placed in your basement or equipment closet, not your office. It’s also quite big, so make sure you have enough room for it (or rack-mount it). No problems observed in the first few days of operation, so I’m a happy customer for now. And as long as it works without trouble at least 3 years, I’ll remain a happy customer.

Note that there are some operational changes you can make with dip-switches: I left them all off, but advanced users may want to look at a manual before buying, to make sure the options meet the needs.

Super simple to set up, and use, great value. I’m moving toward a completely TP/Link network system.

Cheap, reliable, discrete, PoE, plug-and-play; what more could you want from an unmanaged switch?!

Good quality, robust and simple – plug in all your network devices and connect to a router and away you go – no stuffing about, just works.

I like the robust steel chassis/case and the large power supply. Often with these types of devices, the included power supply is absolute rubbish and fails within the first couple of years. However, judging by the size of this power supply, I’m expecting years of trouble-free service.

I bought this switch to power my POE (Power Over Ethernet) security cameras and to allow connecting multiple cameras to the last available network port in my router. Thus far I have 2x security cameras connected (Amcrest IP8M-T2499EW and IP2M-841EB) with both cameras working well and more cameras on the way.

Amcrest offer a similar switch for a similar price, however the speed is only 10/100Mbps. This switch is 10/100/1000Mbps, which should ensue longevity for future upgrades. Just a note – if you’re going to all the trouble to run network cables through your roof and down walls, make sure to use Cat 6 or better for future upgrades. My cameras only have a 100Mbps network interface, however the next generation will likely have a 1000Mbps – so I’ll be right to re-use my current network infrastructure.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug and Play Perfection for PoE!
I’ve been using this TP-Link 5-Port Gigabit PoE Switch (4 PoE ports) for a few weeks now, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. It’s truly a “plug and play” device that delivers exactly what it promises.
I needed to power a couple of IP cameras and a PoE access point, and this switch handled it flawlessly. Setup was as simple as plugging in the devices and connecting the switch to my network – no complicated configurations or software needed. All my PoE devices powered up instantly and have been running reliably ever since.
The build quality feels solid and it runs silently, which is a huge plus in my home office setup. The gigabit speeds ensure there are no bottlenecks for my network traffic, even with multiple devices running. For anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use, and effective PoE solution for a small network, this TP-Link switch is an absolute winner. Highly recommended!
