Unmanaged/Easy Smart Rackmountable Switch
Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The Unmanaged/Easy Smart Switch provides you with a low-cost, easy-to-use, high-performance,
seamless, and standard upgrade to improve your network to 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.
TL-SG1008PE/TL-SG1016PE/TL-SG1218MPE is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). The
RJ45 ports 1 to 8 on the TL-SG1008PE and TL-SG1016PE and all 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports on the
TL-SG1218MPE support Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function, which can automatically detect and
supply power with those powered devices (PDs*) complying with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.
Note:
■*PSE is a device (switch or hub for instance) that will provide power in a PoE setup.
■*PoE is a technology that describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to
remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network.
■*PD is a device powered by a PSE and thus consumes energy. Examples include powering
IP telephones, wireless LAN access points, network cameras, network hubs, embedded
computers etc.
