Connect powered edge devices to a Gigabit LAN while retaining three dedicated Gigabit uplink connections. TP-Link Omada DS111P combines eight PoE+ Gigabit access ports with three additional Gigabit uplink ports, giving small network closets and distributed edge locations a practical port layout for endpoints that need both data and power. The eight PoE+ ports suit devices normally installed away from nearby AC outlets, including wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. Delivering power through the Ethernet run reduces the number of endpoint power adapters and keeps the network connection and power path together. Gigabit throughput across the declared port set supports modern access-layer traffic without limiting connected devices to Fast Ethernet. Three Gigabit uplink ports distinguish this layout from a basic eight-port powered switch. They allow the switch to maintain a connection to the upstream network while providing additional uplink flexibility for local infrastructure. Use the DS111P where eight powered devices need to be aggregated at the edge and where the available uplink capacity must remain separate from endpoint-facing PoE+ ports.
