TP-Link Omada 18-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Rackmount Switch with 16-Port PoE+ 250W

TP-Link Omada 18-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Rackmount Switch with 16-Port PoE+ (DS1018GMP) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The DS1018GMP powers sixteen devices and needs no configuration to do it. Sixteen Gigabit PoE+ ports share a 250 W budget, two combo Gigabit SFP slots handle the uplink in copper or fibre, and a set of hardware mode switches covers the jobs that usually force people onto a managed switch — long cable runs, port isolation and PoE auto-recovery.

Sixteen PoE+ Ports on a 250 W Budget

Ports 1 to 16 are 802.3at/802.3af compliant with a switch-wide PoE budget of 250 W. That comfortably covers a floor of Wi-Fi access points and IP cameras, or a mixed load of phones, door readers and signage. TP-Link footnotes that its PoE budget figures come from laboratory testing and that the real-world budget varies with the powered devices and the environment — so plan against your actual device list rather than the headline number.

Two Combo Gigabit SFP Slots for the Uplink

Alongside the sixteen PoE+ ports sit two combo Gigabit SFP slots, giving the choice of copper or fibre back to the core without a media converter. Switching capacity is 36 Gbps with an 8 K MAC address table, 4.1 Mbit packet buffer and 10 KB jumbo frame support, and the switch handles 802.1p/DSCP QoS and 802.3x flow control automatically.

Extend Mode Reaches 250 Metres on Ports 1-4

Extend Mode on ports 1 to 4 trades speed for distance, letting a camera or access point sit beyond the usual 100 metre Ethernet limit. TP-Link notes that ports in extend mode drop to 10 Mbps and that the actual distance varies with the powered device's consumption and the cable quality and type — for a fixed-function camera at the end of a long run that trade is usually worth making, and it removes the need for a mid-span injector.

Priority, Isolation and PoE Auto Recovery Without a Web UI

Priority Mode gives ports 1-4 precedence when the PoE budget is under pressure, so the important devices stay powered. Isolation Mode separates ports 1-8 from 9-16, which is a practical way to keep a camera VLAN's traffic away from everything else on an unmanaged switch. PoE Auto Recovery monitors powered devices on ports 1-16 and power-cycles one that stops responding — the single feature that saves the most site visits on a camera install.

Rackmount, Locked, and Built for a Cupboard

The 440 x 180 x 44 mm chassis is full-rack width and 1U high with a rackmount kit and rubber feet in the box, plus a physical security lock. Two fans keep it inside a 0-50 C operating range. Consumption is 19 W with nothing powered, rising to 293.34 W with a full 250 W PoE load — figures worth having when sizing the UPS.

Ideal For

Singapore offices, retail sites, warehouses and small buildings powering a floor of cameras and access points from one rack unit, where nobody wants to administer a managed switch. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
