TP-Link TL-SL1311P 8-Port PoE+ Desktop Switch – 65W Budget, Fanless, Plug and Play

You don't need a rack-mounted beast for three cameras and a Wi-Fi AP on the back wall. The TL-SL1311P is the right-size fix: eight PoE+ ports, 65 W of headroom, zero fan noise, and it's running the moment you plug it in.

Eight PoE+ ports at 30 W each. Two Gigabit RJ45 uplinks plus a Gigabit SFP slot for that fibre run to the server cupboard. Extend Mode stretches data and power to 250 m — that outdoor camera on the fence line doesn't need a separate power drop.

PoE Auto Recovery watches every port and reboots a dropped device, so you're not getting a 6 am call about a dead feed. Isolation Mode separates client traffic with one press. No fan, no hum, no configuration screen at 7:45 am.

Small enough to sit behind the monitor or on a shelf in the staff room. External adapter powers it. Done
