Description

The TP-Link TL-RP108GE is an 8-port Gigabit Managed Reverse PoE Switch designed to simplify network installations where power is supplied to the switch through passive PoE connections. Seven RJ45 ports provide passive PoE input at 10/100/1000 Mbps, while the eighth RJ45 port provides passive PoE output. The PoE input supports 24 V or 48 V operation, but the two voltage levels cannot be mixed.

The reverse PoE design allows the switch to receive power from PoE injectors connected to user outlets and then provide network connectivity and passive PoE output to compatible equipment. Port 8 can supply power to compatible CPE and similar devices, with the output voltage dependent on the PoE input voltage.

A dedicated DC output provides selectable 5 V or 12 V power for compatible equipment such as ONTs. Combining Ethernet switching, reverse PoE and DC output capabilities in one compact unit can help reduce cabling and simplify installations where suitable PoE infrastructure is already available.

For network management, the TL-RP108GE supports VLAN configuration, port-based, 802.1p and DSCP priority, four priority queues, rate limiting and storm control. Additional Layer 2 features include IGMP Snooping V1/V2/V3, static link aggregation, port mirroring, cable diagnostics and loop prevention.

The switch has a 16 Gbps switching capacity, an 11.9 Mpps packet forwarding rate, a 4K MAC address table and support for 16 KB jumbo frames. Its fanless design and metal housing make it suitable for compact desktop or wall-mounted networking installations.
