TP-Link LS1210GP 61W PoE+ 10‑Port Gigabit Switch

The LS1210GP is a compact desktop network switch that combines full gigabit connectivity with a generous PoE budget for small sites and installations. It offers a simple way to power and connect cameras, access points and IP phones without extra power supplies, while keeping cabling neat and straightforward.

Key features

This unit provides nine gigabit RJ45 ports and one gigabit SFP port, delivering up to 20 Gbps switching capacity according to the manufacturer. Eight of the RJ45 ports supply 802.3af/at PoE+ with a total PoE budget of 61 W, and each PoE port can output up to 30 W when required. A useful Extend Mode increases PoE transmission distance up to 250 m, which helps when running power to outdoor or distant surveillance cameras. Traffic Separation with an Isolation Mode offers a simple way to reduce snooping and limit broadcast storms, and PoE Auto Recovery can reboot unresponsive powered devices automatically.
