TP-Link Omada 8-Port Gigabit Easy Managed Switch with 8-Port PoE+ and 64W Budget

TP-Link Omada 8-Port Gigabit Easy Managed Switch with 8-Port PoE+ (ES208GP) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The ES208GP puts PoE+ on every one of its eight Gigabit ports and shares a 64 W budget across them, in a fanless 158 mm desktop box with no uplink port to sacrifice. It carries real managed features — VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, link aggregation — and can run standalone through its own web GUI or be adopted into an Omada Controller with the rest of the network.

Every Port Powered, 64 W to Share

All eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports are 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3af PoE capable, with up to 30 W on any single port and 64 W across the switch. Because no port is reserved as a non-PoE uplink, you decide how the eight are split between powered devices and the link upstream. That suits a small camera cluster, a pair of Wi-Fi 6 access points plus door hardware, or a desk cluster of IP phones. TP-Link notes that its PoE budget figures come from laboratory testing and that available power varies with the connected devices and the environment.

250 Metre PoE Reach for Difficult Runs

The ES208GP can push PoE up to 250 m — roughly two and a half times the usual 100 m limit — which reaches a camera at the far end of a car park or a reader on a perimeter gate without a mid-span cabinet. TP-Link is explicit about the trade-off: ports running in the extended mode drop to 10 Mbps, and actual distance depends on cable quality. That is an easy trade for a camera or an access control device, and usually the wrong one for an access point, so plan the extended ports deliberately.

Managed Features in a Desktop Footprint

The switch supports 802.1Q tag VLAN with up to 32 VLAN groups across 4K VIDs, enough to separate cameras, guest Wi-Fi and staff traffic on a single box. QoS classifies traffic by 802.1p or DSCP into eight priority queues, alongside bandwidth control and storm control. Static link aggregation supports up to two groups of four ports for a fatter uplink, loopback detection shuts down a port patched back into the switch before a broadcast storm spreads, and IGMP snooping v1/v2/v3 keeps multicast traffic on the ports that asked for it.

Adopt Into Omada, or Run It Alone

Standalone, the ES208GP is configured from its own web GUI with DHCP client and cable diagnostics built in. Adopted into an Omada Cloud-Based, Hardware or Software Controller, it joins the wider network under one set of policies, with automatic device discovery, batch configuration and batch firmware upgrading. TP-Link states that cloud management, Omada app access and the remote camera reboot function all require a controller, and that Zero-Touch Provisioning specifically requires the Cloud-Based Controller.

Fanless, Surge-Protected, Built to Sit in the Room

At 158 × 100.7 × 25.4 mm and fanless, the ES208GP is silent enough for a reception desk, a consulting room or a shop back counter, and small enough to sit on a shelf rather than in a rack. Its service ports carry ±6 kV surge protection, and it is rated for 0 °C to 40 °C operation at 10% to 90% non-condensing humidity. Power comes from an external 53.5 VDC / 1.31 A adapter, supplied in the box along with a power cord.

Ideal For

Singapore clinics, retail units, small offices and remote sites that need every port powered — cameras, access points, door readers or IP phones — on a silent desktop switch that can later be adopted into an existing Omada network. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
