TP-Link TL-SL1226P 24-Port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The TP-Link TL-SL1226P is a 24-port PoE+ unmanaged Ethernet switch built for small-to-medium networks that need to power devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-compatible equipment without running separate power cables. Each of the 24 PoE+ ports supports the 802.3at/af standard with up to 30W per port and a combined 250W power budget. Two additional Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports and two combo Gigabit SFP slots provide flexible high-speed connections to your core network or fiber infrastructure.

Three built-in modes add functionality without the complexity of a managed switch. Extend Mode stretches PoE transmission to 250 meters — nearly triple the standard 100-meter Ethernet limit — making it practical for surveillance cameras in large properties, though speed drops to 10 Mbps at those distances. Priority Mode reserves bandwidth for ports 1-8, ensuring smooth video and voice transmission when the network is under load. Isolation Mode segments PoE ports so they can only communicate with the uplink ports, reducing broadcast storm risks and improving security. Backed by a 3-year warranty and TP-Link's technical support, the TL-SL1226P is a cost-effective backbone for PoE-heavy deployments where plug-and-play simplicity is preferred over granular network management.
