Place sixteen powered Gigabit edge connections and two Gigabit fiber uplinks in a rack with the TP-Link Omada DS1018GMP. Its 18-port layout provides the copper access capacity needed for powered Ethernet endpoints while reserving separate SFP interfaces for an upstream fiber connection. That separation preserves RJ45 access ports for devices at the network edge rather than consuming them for uplink duties. Sixteen PoE+ RJ45 ports can supply network connectivity and power through the same Ethernet cable to compatible access points, IP phones, cameras, and similar endpoints. The switch suits wiring closets where multiple powered devices terminate in one location and where Gigabit connectivity remains the required edge speed. Two Gigabit SFP ports support fiber-based aggregation or a fiber run to another network location. Omada management places the switch within an Omada-managed network alongside compatible wired and wireless infrastructure. The rackmount chassis fits installations that need a fixed switch position instead of a desktop unit. Within the family, this model combines sixteen PoE+ access ports with two dedicated Gigabit SFP uplinks in an 18-port rackmount format, making it appropriate when endpoint density and fiber uplink flexibility are both required.
