The TP-Link LS105GP 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch with 4-Port PoE+ (SKU: LS105GP) is a compact and high-efficiency networking device designed for small office, retail, home security, and SOHO environments. With full Gigabit capabilities, a generous 65W PoE power budget, long-distance PoE support, and plug-and-play functionality, this switch is the perfect all-in-one solution for powering and managing IP-connected devices with ease.
High-Speed Full Gigabit Ports
The LS105GP features five gigabit auto-negotiation RJ45 ports, offering a combined 10 Gbps switching capacity. This ensures smooth, high-speed data transmission, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video surveillance, VoIP calls, and Wi-Fi access points.
Whether you're connecting to a local NVR, streaming from cloud-managed cameras, or ensuring lag-free phone communication, this switch delivers robust performance in compact form.
4-Port PoE+ with 65W Total Power Budget
With four PoE+ ports that comply with IEEE 802.3af/at standards, the LS105GP can deliver up to 30W of power per port, supporting a total PoE budget of 65W. This makes it perfect for powering:
- IP CCTV cameras, including TP-Link VIGI models like the InSight S455, S485, and S385
- Wi-Fi 6 access points
- VoIP phones
- Smart sensors or building intercom systems
This combination of data and power through a single Ethernet cable eliminates the need for separate power supplies, reducing cable clutter and simplifying deployments.
Extended PoE Transmission – Up to 250 Metres
In Extend Mode, the LS105GP allows PoE transmission distances of up to 250 metres at 10 Mbps, exceeding the standard 100-metre Ethernet limitation. This capability is ideal for extended surveillance setups in:
- Large retail stores
- Warehouse perimeters
- Outdoor facilities and parking areas
This extended reach helps reduce infrastructure cost by removing the need for PoE extenders or additional switches.
PoE Auto Recovery & Silent Operation
A standout feature is PoE Auto Recovery, which automatically reboots unresponsive PoE-powered devices such as IP cameras or APs—minimising downtime and ensuring uninterrupted system performance without user intervention.
Additionally, the fanless design ensures silent operation, making the LS105GP well-suited for noise-sensitive areas such as:
- Reception desks
- Medical clinics
- Home offices
- Conference rooms
Easy Deployment and Durable Design
Thanks to its plug-and-play setup, the switch requires no software configuration—just connect your devices and it's ready to go. The LS105GP comes in a durable metal casing and supports both desktop placement and wall mounting, offering installation flexibility to fit a variety of physical environments.
Example Use Case
Imagine a small business wanting to install a four-camera IP surveillance system using TP-Link VIGI cameras. The LS105GP allows all four cameras to be connected and powered through a single unit, eliminating the need for external power adapters or NVR-side PoE injectors. With auto recovery, even if a camera disconnects or freezes, the system will reset it automatically—providing peace of mind 24/7.
