TP-Link TL-SG1218MP is an 18-port Gigabit rackmount switch

TP-Link TL-SG1218MP is an 18-port Gigabit rackmount switch designed for small to medium business networks with robust Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability. It features 16 PoE+ gigabit RJ45 ports, providing up to 30W per port and a total PoE power budget of 250W, along with 2 additional non-PoE gigabit RJ45 ports and 2 combo gigabit SFP slots for flexible uplink options. The switch supports IEEE 802.3af/at standards and enables plug-and-play installation without the need for configuration.

Key highlights include intelligent power management that prioritizes power delivery and prevents overload, Quality of Service (QoS) for smooth handling of latency-sensitive applications like voice and video, and PoE Auto Recovery which automatically resets unresponsive devices to maintain network stability. The TL-SG1218MP also offers an extended PoE range of up to 250 meters under specific settings, isolation mode for client traffic separation to enhance security, and a durable metal casing with efficient heat dissipation supporting operation in temperatures from 0 to 50°C.

With a switching capacity of 36 Gbps, support for jumbo frames up to 10 KB, and advanced features like 802.1p/DSCP QoS and IEEE 802.3x flow control, it is suitable for powering and connecting IP cameras, access points, IP phones, computers, and other Ethernet devices in office, dormitory, and small business settings. The switch is rack-mountable, designed for silent operation with two fans, and certified CE, FCC, and RoHS compliant.
