TL-SG1005P-PD 5-Port Passthrough Gigabit Ethernet Switch – 1 PoE++ in @90W, 4 PoE+ Output up to 66W, Plug & Play, Extend Mode, QoS, IGMP, Auto Recovery, Powered Only, Free Expert Help

I’ve been using the TP-Link TL-SG1005P-PD switch when adding security cameras, and it’s been a total game-changer. Since it’s PoE-powered, there’s no need to run 110V to each location—just a single Ethernet cable supplies both data and power. That makes installs cleaner, faster, and much more flexible. It’s completely plug-and-play, super reliable, and the fanless design means it runs silently, which is great for indoor use. I also appreciate the PoE passthrough capabilities—perfect for chaining devices where outlets are limited. Overall, this switch is rock-solid and a great value for small PoE camera setups. I plan to continue to grow my TP-Link Omada network using these, as well as the larger rack mount switches.

I got a couple of these and a PoE injector to power it so I didn't have to have a UPS in my network "closet" but they would function when power is out. These items take almost no power so you can daisy chain them to get more ports. My home network is super fast so I don't have any complaints about their functionality. And they have "keyholes" on the back so I could mount them to the wall with screws. That said, I wish they had an 8-port model. I have a regular 8-port switch and it takes all of a half watt of power, so one _could_ easily make a PoE passthrough switch with 8 ports. With only five ports, you have to daisy chain them and then each hub only nets three ports since one has to be connected upstream and one downstream in the chain.

The best gigabit POE in and passthrough switch there is

POE feature: I wanted to use this as a dumb switch using POE power but the devices I'm connecting to it don't use POE - so I don't care about passthrough. The listing shows that its minimal power setting should work on a 15W port and even provide a 9W output budget. However I couldn't get it to work reliably on a regular 15W POE switch port - it worked when plugged into the switch directly but not at the remote location. Then I changed it to a 60W port (same wiring) and it works fine. My switch tells me it averages 1.8W draw on average after starting up. I wonder if my trouble with the 15W port was due to it using more on startup, along with loss in my wiring. Switching: everything that's plugged into it has been behaving normally so I am happy on this front. Minus one star due to the POE trouble.

Size, functionality and connectivity served its purpose for my home automation.

Bought item by mistake no power plug

Used it to power 4 ethernet connected POE security cameras. I connected a power injector in my home office to my UPS and mounted the switch where all the camera cables came together on another floor of the house. Very clean installation because the switch and the cameras don't need any outlets and everything is powered by the uninterruptable power supply in the office. If I had used wifi cameras I would have avoided the cables but would require an outlet nearby the cameras and they wouldn't have the support of the UPS. This switch makes it all very clean and reliable.

I have a utility box where all the ethernet cables that run through my house to individual rooms dead-end but there's no power source nearby to power an ethernet switch. I purchased a TP-Link PoE injector along with this PoE switch to run the now-powered ethernet cable from the router to this switch in that utility box so I can have no-loss high-speed ethernet in all those rooms. Any other way would've required an electrician along with Stucco and Drywall repairs.

Compact size

Works as expected. Added to my Omada home network setup. Here's how it's set up: ER7212PC PoE → EAP615-Wall PoE passthrough → this TL-SG1005P-PD → PoE splitters powering my Hue Bridge and Lutron Hub Bummer that it's not managed so I can't tag specific ports with VLANs but it's a great PoE powered switch and nice addition to my network!

Perfect way to power PoE devices from a PoE uplink. No need to have external power at location where you use this switch.

Good price and reliable product
