The Tenda TEF1118P-16-150W 18-Port Smart PoE Switch balances high power delivery, data throughput, and safety in a robust design suited for demanding environments.

Performance / Functionality

The Tenda TEF1118P-16-150W 18-Port Smart PoE Switch delivers power and data across 16 PoE+-capable RJ-45 ports, while providing 2 additional gigabit RJ-45 uplink ports plus an SFP uplink slot for backbone connections. It adheres to IEEE 802.3af/at standards, enabling up to ~30 W per port (subject to budget distribution), with a total power budget of approximately 150 W. The Tenda TEF1118P-16-150W 18-Port Smart PoE Switch offers full wire-speed switching and large MAC address table capacity to handle many devices without performance degradation.

Compatibility

With support for IEEE PoE standards, the Tenda TEF1118P-16-150W 18-Port Smart PoE Switch is compatible with high-powered devices such as PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled gear. It supports uplinks via RJ-45 and SFP, working with standard Ethernet cabling (Cat5e, Cat6) and integrating into existing network infrastructures easily. It operates from standard AC input voltage and works in a wide range of network environments.

Safety / Convenience

This device features a metal housing designed for strength and heat dissipation. It includes built-in surge and lightning protection rated at 6 kV both for the Ethernet ports and power input to reduce risk from power spikes. LED indicators provide per-port link/activity plus overall status, and Auto-MDI/MDIX support ensures cable type polarity is handled automatically. The rack-mountable 1-U form factor helps secure installation in cabinets or racks.

Design / Build

The build of the Tenda TEF1118P-16-150W 18-Port Smart PoE Switch is rugged and professional. It uses a metal enclosure and supports rack mounting (1-U), making it suitable for structured wiring closets or professional installations. The port layout includes 16 PoE output ports, 2 gigabit uplink RJ-45 ports, and an SFP uplink slot. Environmental tolerances include operating temperatures from 0 °C to +45 °C and storage temperatures from −40 °C to +70 °C, with humidity conditions of 10-90% RH non-condensing in operation.

Usage Tips

When using the Tenda TEF1118P-16-150W 18-Port Smart PoE Switch, distribute your high-power PoE-devices across several ports to avoid exceeding the 150 W power budget. Use quality cable (Cat6 if possible) especially for uplinks or longer runs. Make use of VLAN isolation and port priority smart features to segment sensitive devices (e.g. cameras vs WiFi APs) and ensure stable bandwidth. Mount the switch in an enclosed rack with good ventilation despite its metal case. Monitor LED indicators regularly to detect link or power issues early in deployments.
