Description

TP-Link LS108GP 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch

TP-Link LS108GP is an advanced 8-port gigabit unmanaged PoE switch designed to streamline network connectivity for homes, offices, and surveillance systems. This intelligent network switch delivers both high-speed data and power through a single ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power adapters for your connected devices. With all 8 ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ standard and a generous 62W total power budget, you can simultaneously power and connect up to 8 devices including IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled equipment with up to 30W per port.

What sets the LS108GP apart is its innovative Extend Mode feature that pushes PoE transmission distance up to 250 meters on ports 1-2, making it perfect for large-area surveillance camera installations or connecting devices across expansive properties. The built-in PoE Auto Recovery function intelligently monitors connected devices and automatically reboots any unresponsive PoE-powered equipment, ensuring your network stays online without manual intervention. The fanless design guarantees completely silent operation while reducing power consumption, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments like offices, conference rooms, recording studios, or home installations. Built with a durable metal casing and equipped with advanced features like 802.1p/DSCP QoS for traffic prioritization and IGMP snooping for efficient multicast management, the LS108GP delivers enterprise-grade performance in a compact, plug-and-play form factor that requires zero configuration.

• Extended 250M PoE Range – Exclusive Extend Mode on ports 1-2 extends PoE transmission up to 250 meters, 2.5x farther than standard 100m limit for remote device deployment
• Intelligent PoE Auto Recovery – Automatically detects and reboots frozen or unresponsive PoE devices, maintaining 24/7 network uptime without manual intervention
• Full Gigabit Speeds – 8 x 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation RJ45 ports provide 16Gbps switching capacity for lag-free data transmission
• True Plug and Play – Zero configuration required; simply connect cables and start working immediately with automatic device recognition
• Whisper-Quiet Fanless Design – Completely silent operation with passive cooling, ideal for offices, studios, classrooms, and home environments
• Advanced Quality of Service – 802.1p/DSCP QoS ensures smooth performance for latency-sensitive applications like VoIP calls and video streaming
• Smart Traffic Management – IGMP Snooping optimizes multicast traffic, IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss during heavy network activity
• Durable Metal Construction – Professional-grade metal enclosure with desktop and wall-mounting options ensures long-lasting reliability
• Energy Efficient Green Technology – Intelligent power management reduces consumption while maintaining full performance

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• Extend Mode Technology Explained – While standard PoE has a 100-meter cable length limitation, TP-Link’s Extend Mode on ports 1-2 increases this to 250 meters by reducing data speed to 10Mbps on those ports. This is perfect for surveillance cameras or access points in remote locations like parking lots, warehouses, or outdoor areas where running new power lines would be expensive or impractical.
• PoE Auto Recovery Benefits – Security cameras, access points, and other PoE devices occasionally freeze or become unresponsive due to firmware glitches or network issues. Instead of physically unplugging and replugging devices or climbing ladders to reset cameras, the LS108GP automatically detects non-responsive devices and power cycles them to restore connectivity. This feature is invaluable for unattended installations or hard-to-reach devices.
• Application Compatibility – Works seamlessly with all IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices including IP cameras (TP-Link, Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, etc.), wireless access points (TP-Link Omada, Ubiquiti UniFi, etc.), VoIP phones (Yealink, Cisco, Grandstream), door access controllers, IoT sensors, and more.
• Quality of Service Priority – The 802.1p/DSCP QoS automatically prioritizes voice and video traffic, ensuring smooth VoIP calls and glitch-free video surveillance even when network bandwidth is being heavily utilized by file transfers or internet browsing.
• Energy Efficiency – Green technology automatically adjusts power consumption based on link status and cable length. Short cables use less power than long cables, and unused ports consume minimal energy. This can significantly reduce electricity costs in large installations while supporting environmental sustainability.
• Installation Flexibility – Compact desktop design fits easily on desks or shelves. Wall-mounting capability (mounting hardware included) allows vertical installation in tight spaces, equipment racks (with optional rack mount kit), or behind TVs/monitors. The metal chassis ensures durability and provides better heat dissipation than plastic alternatives.
• IGMP Snooping Advantage – When streaming IP camera footage to multiple displays or running IPTV systems, IGMP Snooping prevents unnecessary multicast traffic from flooding all network ports, improving overall network efficiency and reducing bandwidth waste.
• Cable Requirements – For optimal performance, use Cat5e or Cat6 ethernet cables. Cat5e is sufficient for gigabit speeds up to 100 meters. For extended range mode (250m), use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables to ensure stable PoE delivery.
