TP-Link TL-SF1005P V2 5-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch

Q: Can this switch be used for a 4 PoE IP security camera network with Blue Iris and a laptop computer, or do I need additional hardware like an NVR?
A: The switch can handle up to 4 PoE IP cameras and works well with Blue Iris and a laptop computer. However, if you haven't purchased any equipment yet, it may be more cost-effective to consider a CCTV system instead.

Q: What voltage output PoE does this switch provide, 24v or 48v? I have a 48 volt phone, a 24 volt camera, and a 24 volt access point that I need power for.
A: This switch provides PoE power according to the IEEE 802.3af/at standards, which deliver 48 volts. If you have a 24 volt device, you may need a PoE converter to use it with this switch.

Q: Is this switch compatible with the TL-POE200 splitter? My splitter's power LED does not illuminate when used with this device.
A: It should be compatible, but you may want to test it by plugging a device into the splitter to see if it works properly.

Q: Can I use this switch's PoE to power two TL-WA7210N devices?
A: The power requirements of the TL-WA7210N devices may exceed what this switch can provide. It's best to check the power specifications of your devices before using them with this switch.

Q: Can I use the included power supply with a PoE injector to power this device from far away using UTP cable?
A: No, this switch is not a PoE Powered Device and must be powered using the included power supply. It cannot be powered via PoE.

Q: What if I don't need power, and only Ethernet on one device?
A: Even if you don't need PoE, you still need to provide power to the switch for its internal electronics to function. However, you can use the non-PoE port for your Ethernet-only device.

Q: Would I need the Gigabit version of this switch for a 1080p camera to NVR, or would the 100Mbps version work? Can this switch be used as an Ethernet switch without PoE?
A: It depends on the number of cameras and their specifications. Many 1080p cameras don't support more than 100Mbps, so the 100Mbps version of this switch may be sufficient. However, if you have multiple cameras or high-resolution requirements, the Gigabit version may be necessary. This switch can be used as an Ethernet switch without PoE.

Q: The box says "up to 200Mbps" but this switch is listed as 10/100. Will it be a bottleneck on a 200Mbps connection?
A: The switching capacity of the switch is 1Gbps, so it should not be a bottleneck for a 200Mbps connection.

Q: Is this switch rackmountable?
A: This switch is not 19 inches wide, but it does come with additional pieces that can be used to mount it in a rack. It is considered a standard desktop switch.
