TP-Link Omada SG2218P 18-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Switch
The TP-Link Omada SG2218P is an 18-port gigabit managed switch designed for small to medium deployments of surveillance systems, wireless access points, and IP phones. It supplies PoE+ power to 16 ports from a 150 W budget and integrates into TP-Link's Omada cloud management platform for centralized oversight across your entire network.
Why this product
150 W PoE budget across 16 ports
Each of the 16 PoE+ ports delivers up to 30 W, enough for high-power access points and powered cameras without a separate power supply.
Cloud management from the Omada app
Provision, monitor and control the switch remotely via TP-Link's Omada SDN platform, with zero-touch provisioning to speed initial setup.
Fanless 1U rackmount design
Silent operation and compact footprint fit server rooms and network cabinets without adding noise or taking floor space.
36 Gbps switching capacity
Backplane throughput handles all ports at line rate simultaneously, with support for jumbo frames up to 9 KB.
Robust traffic control and security
VLAN, ACL, QoS, IGMP snooping, IP-MAC-Port binding, and 802.1X authentication keep traffic organized and unauthorized devices off the network.

- EAN4897098689509
- Works with any 802.3af or 802.3at PoE-powered device, including IP cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones.
- Integrates into TP-Link's Omada SDN ecosystem for unified management of switches, access points, and gateways.
- Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 with dual-stack operation and neighbor discovery.
- Zero-Touch Provisioning and cloud management require an Omada Cloud-Based Controller; standalone web or CLI management is available without it.
Best for
- Surveillance deployments with many PoE cameras needing centralized power and management.
- Multi-AP wireless networks where all access points must be powered and monitored from one interface.
- Organizations running TP-Link Omada infrastructure who want unified SDN control across wired and wireless.
- Compact network rooms and cabinets where silent operation and 1U footprint matter.
Trade-offs
- High-power PoE needs: 150 W total budget shared across all 16 ports limits simultaneous high-draw devices; if you need more than 10 cameras at 30 W each, consider a larger budget model.
- 10+ Gigabit links: All ports are 1 Gbps; if you need 10GbE uplinks or backbone capacity, this is not the switch for that role.
- Standalone operation without cloud: Full feature set and ease of management depend on Omada controller integration; standalone mode is basic.
Omada's Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform integrates network devices, including access points, switches and gateways, providing 100% centralized cloud management. Omada creates a highly scalable network, all controlled from a single interface. Seamless wireless and wired connections are provided, ideal for use in hospitality, education, retail, offices, and more.
150 W PoE Budget: 16× 802.3at/af-compliant PoE+ ports with a total power supply of 150 W*.
Full Gigabit Ports: 16× gigabit PoE+ ports and 2× gigabit SFP Slots provide high-speed connections.
Integrated into Omada SDN: Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)†, Centralized Cloud Management, and Intelligent Monitoring.
Centralized Management: Cloud access and Omada app for ultra convenience and easy management.
Static Routing: Helps route internal traffic for more efficient use of network resources.
Robust Security Strategies: IP-MAC-Port Binding, ACL, Port Security, DoS Defend, Storm control, DHCP Snooping, 802.1X, Radius Authentication, and more.
Optimize Voice and Video Applications: L2/L3/L4 QoS and IGMP snooping.
IPv6: IPv6 support with dual IPv4/IPv6 stack, MLD snooping, IPv6 neighbor discovery.
†These functions require the use of the Omada SDN Controller. Zero-Touch Provisioning requires the use of the Omada Cloud-Based Controller. Go to the Omada Cloud-Based Controller Product List to find all the models supported by the Omada Cloud-Based Controller.
*PoE budget calculations are based on laboratory testing. The actual PoE power budget is not guaranteed and will vary due to client limitations and environmental factors.
