Introduction
10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Port
Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. For
TL-SG1008MP and TL-SG1016PE, port 1–8 can provide power for PDs. For TL-SG1218MP and
TL-SG1218MPE, port 1–16 can provide power for PDs. For TL-SG1428PE, port 1–24 can provide power
for PDs.
10/100Mbps RJ45 Port
Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
SFP Port
Designed to install the SFP module. TL-SG1218MP/TL-SG1218MPE/TL-SG1428PE has 2 SFP ports
which support 1000 Mbps SFP module connection. For TL-SG1218MP and TL-SG1218MPE, an SFP
Port (port 17F/port 18F) and the associated 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Port (port 17/port 18) are called
a “Combo” port, which means they cannnot be used simultaneously; otherwise, only the SFP port
works.
