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

Works exactly as advertised. I used it to power several Ubiquiti cameras and Wi-Fi devices as part of my home network setup, and it handled everything without issue. Setup was truly plug-and-play, and the build feels sturdy enough for long-term use. One thing to note: the internal fan does kick in and can be noticeably loud, especially in quiet environments. If you're planning to use this in a home setting, make sure to install it somewhere the noise won’t be a distraction—like a garage, utility closet, or network cabinet. Overall, great value for the functionality. Just plan your placement accordingly.

I have used these several times to extend the network for POE cameras and wireless access points. They work well and I haven't had one faill yet.

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.

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.

I recently picked up the TP-Link SG1005P 5-Port Gigabit PoE Switch to upgrade my home network, and it’s been a fantastic addition. Here’s why this little device stands out: Setup and Design • Plug and Play: This switch requires zero configuration. Just plug in your devices, and you’re good to go. Perfect for those who want hassle-free networking. • Compact Size: Measuring just 3.9 x 3.9 x 1 inches, it fits anywhere, making it ideal for small spaces. Performance • Gigabit Speed: All five ports support Gigabit Ethernet, ensuring fast and reliable connections for all my devices. • Power over Ethernet (PoE): Four of the five ports provide PoE, delivering up to 15.4W per port. I use it to power my IP cameras and a wireless access point without any issues. Power Management • 65W Power Budget: With a total PoE power budget of 65W, it easily handles my network’s power needs. Even with multiple devices connected, I haven’t faced any power shortages. • Port Priority Function: If the power demand exceeds 65W, the switch prioritizes ports to ensure critical devices stay powered, which is a smart feature. Operation • Silent Running: It’s fanless, so there’s no noise, which is perfect for my home office. • Durable Build: Despite its small size, the build quality feels robust and reliable. Overall Experience This switch has greatly simplified my home network setup. It’s powerful enough for small office environments too. If you need an easy-to-use, reliable, and efficient PoE switch, the TP-Link SG1005P is a solid choice.

works great - small footprint. Using it to power a PTZ camera and connect it to the network

The TL-SG1005P is exactly what a home or small business PoE system needs—simple, reliable, and completely silent thanks to its fanless design. I connected multiple PoE cameras (including REOLINK Duo 2) and the switch handled them effortlessly with stable voltage and zero overheating. Build quality is solid with a metal chassis, and setup truly is “plug and play.” The QoS and IGMP Snooping features help optimize traffic for streaming devices and cameras. Pros; Robust metal housing and fanless quiet operation. Reliable PoE+ power delivery (65W total) Zero-configuration setup. Perfect for 4K security cameras. Compact and stable. Cons; No VLAN or advanced management options (unmanaged) Verdict; If you're looking for a cost-effective, high-stability PoE switch for security cameras or home networking, this model is hard to beat.

Installation was very easy and it works well, including powering my Ubiquiti Access Point via poe. I have one minor caveat about its physical design: presumably in order to minimize the size of the 'package', the power supply socket and a couple of configuration switches are on the opposite side of the device to the ethernet ports. This is not ideal if you want to use it on a desktop, since the connected ethernet cables 'naturally' run back to the far edge of the desk and the more flexible power lead has to be plugged in on the front, visible, side. Also, since all the function LEDS are adjacent to their ports, you can't see them without craning your neck behind the device. It would be preferable, at least from this viewpoint, if all the sockets and switches were on the 'back', and the function LEDs were moved to the front of the 'package'.
