Upgrade your network with the TP-Link LS1210GP 10-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch with 8-Port PoE+ (SKU: LS1210GP), a reliable and high-performance networking solution engineered for small businesses, offices, retail stores, and surveillance applications. With full Gigabit connectivity, a 61W PoE budget, SFP uplink, and advanced management features like PoE auto recovery and traffic isolation, this switch is purpose-built for powering and securing your connected environment.

Full Gigabit Performance with SFP Uplink

The LS1210GP features 9 auto-negotiation Gigabit RJ45 ports and 1 Gigabit SFP uplink port, offering a 20 Gbps switching capacity. This makes it ideal for applications requiring high-speed data transfer such as IP surveillance, voice over IP (VoIP), and wireless access point (WAP) deployments.

The dedicated SFP port allows for flexible uplink connectivity via fibre, enabling high-speed and long-distance connections between network switches or to backbone infrastructure.

8-Port PoE+ with 61W Power Budget

This switch includes eight IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PoE+ ports, each delivering up to 30W, with a combined power budget of 61W. You can easily connect and power multiple PoE devices such as:

• IP security cameras (ideal for use with TP-Link VIGI Insight series such as S455, S485, or S385)

• Wireless access points

• VoIP phones

• Smart sensors or intercoms

This integrated power/data solution simplifies cabling and reduces the need for external power adapters, streamlining installations in both new builds and retrofit environments.

Extend Mode for Long-Distance PoE — Up to 250 Metres

When Extend Mode is enabled, PoE transmission can reach up to 250 metres at 10 Mbps, compared to the standard 100m Ethernet limit. This is ideal for:

• Remote IP cameras across car parks or building exteriors

• Outdoor access points

• Warehouses or large industrial floors

Now you can deploy devices farther from the control room without the cost of signal boosters or additional switches.

PoE Auto Recovery & Traffic Isolation

The PoE Auto Recovery function monitors the health of PoE-powered devices and reboots unresponsive ones automatically—minimising downtime without requiring manual resets. This is crucial for applications like surveillance, where camera uptime is mission-critical.

Meanwhile, the Isolation Mode enhances security by enabling one-click client traffic separation. This feature prevents devices on the same switch from communicating with each other, protecting data privacy and limiting broadcast storms.

Silent, Durable, and Easy to Install

The fanless design ensures quiet operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as retail shops, office spaces, libraries, and healthcare facilities. The rugged metal casing offers excellent durability, while support for both desktop and wall mounting ensures flexible deployment.

Use Case Example

For a medium-sized retail store looking to deploy an 8-camera surveillance system using VIGI PoE IP cameras, the TP-Link LS1210GP acts as the perfect backbone. It powers each camera directly, allows centralised monitoring via the SFP uplink, and ensures system stability through auto recovery and long-distance support. With plug-and-play simplicity, there’s no need for specialist setup or costly infrastructure.
