Description
The TP-Link SG2005P-PD redefines outdoor networking by eliminating the need for localized AC power sources. This Gigabit Smart Managed Switch functions as a high-performance PoE extender, utilizing standard PoE passthrough technology to double the traditional 100-meter cable limit to 200 meters. Encased in an IP55-rated weatherproof and UV-resistant shell, it is engineered to maintain high-speed data transmission and power delivery in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C, ensuring reliable connectivity for remote IP cameras and access points.
This product is for:
- Outdoor Surveillance Installers: Professionals requiring a durable, long-range power solution for high-definition IP cameras in parking lots or perimeters.
- Wireless Network Engineers: Technicians deploying outdoor Wi-Fi access points where running electrical wiring is cost-prohibitive.
- Smart Campus Administrators: IT managers overseeing large-scale deployments across parks, stadiums, or school grounds using centralized cloud control.
- Industrial Site Operators: Facilities requiring networking hardware capable of withstanding extreme temperature fluctuations and lightning strikes.
- Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Teams utilizing Omada SDN for remote multi-site management and zero-touch provisioning.
Detailed specifications:
- Interface: 1× 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 PoE In (802.3af/at/bt), 4× 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 PoE Out (802.3af/at).
- PoE Power Budget: Up to 64W total output when powered by 802.3bt Type 4 (90W) input.
- Durability Rating: IP55 weatherproof enclosure with 4KV lightning protection and UV resistance.
- Switching Capacity: 10 Gbps backplane bandwidth with a 7.44 Mpps forwarding rate.
- Layer 2+ Features: Static Routing (32 routes), 802.1Q VLAN, Access Control List (ACL), and QoS (802.1p/DSCP).
- Management Ecosystem: Fully integrated with Omada SDN for cloud access, CLI, Web GUI, and SNMP v1/v2c/v3.
Deploying the SG2005P-PD simplifies complex outdoor installations by consolidating power and data into a single Ethernet line. The inclusion of a versatile mounting kit allows for quick attachment to walls or poles, providing flexibility in positioning. Once active, the switch offers enterprise-grade software features such as IGMP Snooping for optimized video streaming and robust security protocols like IP-MAC-Port Binding and DoS Defense. The fanless design ensures silent operation while the internal hardware manages heat efficiently, even under full PoE load in direct sunlight.
Unlike standard indoor switches that require environmental protection and nearby power outlets, the SG2005P-PD is a purpose-built outdoor PoE bridge. While unmanaged PoE extenders offer basic distance increases, this Omada-integrated model provides sophisticated Layer 2+ management and remote troubleshooting capabilities. Compared to traditional outdoor switches, its ability to draw power directly from an upstream PoE++ source (802.3bt) significantly reduces installation labor and material costs by removing the necessity for outdoor-rated electrical enclosures.
How far can the PoE signal reach with this switch?
The SG2005P-PD extends the standard PoE transmission distance from 100 meters to a total of 200 meters without losing Gigabit speeds, making it perfect for long-range deployments.
What is the maximum PoE output budget available?
The total PoE budget depends on the input source: it delivers up to 64W when powered by 802.3bt Type 4 (90W), 44W via 802.3bt Type 3 (60W), 19W via 802.3at, and 6W via 802.3af.
Does this switch require a separate power adapter?
No, the SG2005P-PD is a PoE-powered device (PD). It draws its operating power and the power it redistributes to other devices directly from an upstream PoE switch or injector.
Can this switch be managed remotely?
Yes, it is fully compatible with the Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform, allowing for centralized cloud management, remote monitoring, and multi-site configuration.
Q&A:
Is the device protected against harsh weather conditions?
Yes, the switch features an IP55-rated waterproof and UV-resistant housing, 4KV lightning protection, and is tested to operate in extreme temperatures from -40°C to 60°C.
