The TP-Link S4500-8GHP2F is an 8-port PoE+ Gigabit smart switch from the Omada Pro line, designed to provide both high-speed connectivity and power to network devices. It features eight RJ45 ports that support 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at/af), allowing you to power devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly through the Ethernet cable. With a total power budget of 150 W and up to 30 W per port, it handles multiple power-hungry devices simultaneously. For flexible uplink options, the switch includes two dedicated SFP slots for fiber connectivity. Under the hood, this device offers a switching capacity of 20 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 14.9 Mpps, ensuring smooth data flow. It supports advanced L2+ features such as static routing for 32 IPv4/IPv6 routes, alongside standard VLANs, LACP, and IGMP Snooping. Security is managed through 802.1X authentication, IP-MAC-Port binding, and DoS defend, while QoS settings with eight priority queues help maintain stability for critical traffic. You can manage the network via the Omada Pro SDN, a web-based interface, or a command-line interface. Measuring 294 x 180 x 44 mm and weighing 2900 g, the switch is built for versatility with both rackmount and desktop installation options. The chassis includes a lock slot for added physical security. This setup is well-suited for small to medium businesses that need a reliable, centrally managed power source for their network infrastructure without requiring separate power adapters for every connected device.
