Understanding Teltonika's Switch Families
Teltonika Networks manufactures three distinct switch families, each designed for specific deployment scenarios. All share common DNA: rugged aluminium housings, industrial operating temperatures (−40°C to +75°C), and DIN rail mounting capability.
TSW Series — The Industrial Workhorse
The TSW series is Teltonika's core switch range, covering everything from basic 4-port network extension to 8-port PoE+ switches with SFP fibre uplinks. Most models are unmanaged (plug-and-play), though the TSW202 and TSW212 offer full Layer 2/Layer 3 management.
- Compact DIN rail or surface mount form factors
- Wide DC input voltage ranges (typically 7–57V or 9–30V depending on model)
- PoE+ models support 802.3af/at (up to 30W per port)
- Fanless operation for silent, maintenance-free deployment
TSF Series — Ultra-Compact Form Factor
When space is at an absolute premium — think kiosk interiors, vending machines, or cramped control cabinets — the TSF series delivers. These flat-profile switches measure just 113 × 28 × 50 mm and feature front-facing ports with rear DIN rail mounting.
SWM Series — Enterprise Managed Switches
Launched in 2025, the SWM28 series represents Teltonika's move into enterprise-grade managed switching. These 1U rack-mountable switches feature 24 Gigabit ports, 4 SFP uplinks, and comprehensive Layer 2+/Layer 3 management including PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and MRP support.
TSW Series Specifications
Non-PoE Switches (Network Extension Only)
These switches are ideal when you simply need more Ethernet ports and don't require Power over Ethernet.

Critical: PoE Voltage Requirements
If you power the switch with a lower voltage (e.g., 9V, 12V, 24V), the switch will operate normally as a network switch, but connected cameras and devices will receive no power.
Why this catches people out: Many customers order a PoE switch expecting it to work with the same 9V or 12V power supply they use for Teltonika routers. The switch powers on, the LEDs light up, and everything appears normal — until they connect cameras that refuse to power up.
The 44–57V requirement exists because PoE (802.3af/at) operates at 48V nominal. The switch needs sufficient input voltage to regulate down to the PoE output level with acceptable efficiency.
| Input Voltage | Switch Operation | PoE Output |
|---|---|---|
| 7–43 VDC | Works normally | No PoE power output |
| 44–57 VDC | Works normally | Full PoE output enabled |
| >57 VDC | May damage switch | Risk of damage |
UK Power Supply Selection Guide
Teltonika PoE switches are typically sold without a power supply, allowing installers to select the appropriate PSU for their PoE requirements. This means you must order the correct PSU separately.

PoE Power Budget Calculator
Before selecting a switch and PSU, calculate your total PoE power requirement. We recommend adding 20% headroom to account for cable losses and future expansion.
Typical Device Power Consumption
| Device Type | Typical Draw | PoE Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Basic IP camera (1080p fixed) | 5–8W | 802.3af |
| 4K IP camera with IR | 12–18W | 802.3af/at |
| PTZ camera | 20–30W | 802.3at (PoE+) |
| WiFi 5 access point | 8–12W | 802.3af |
| WiFi 6/6E access point | 15–25W | 802.3at (PoE+) |
| VoIP telephone | 5–7W | 802.3af |
| Door access controller | 8–15W | 802.3af/at |
| Teltonika TRB gateway | 4–8W | Passive PoE or 802.3af |
Worked Examples
Example 1 — Small Retail CCTV (4 cameras)
4 × 1080p cameras @ 8W = 32W
Add 20% headroom = 38.4W required
✓ TSW100 with PR3PWUK3 (62W) PSU
Example 2 — Warehouse CCTV (8 cameras incl. 2 PTZ)
6 × 4K cameras @ 15W = 90W
2 × PTZ cameras @ 25W = 50W
Total = 140W, add 20% = 168W required
✓ TSW200 with PR320UKA (250W) PSU
Example 3 — Office WiFi (12 access points)
12 × WiFi 6 APs @ 20W = 240W
Add 20% headroom = 288W required
✓ SWM282 (300W internal power)
Managed vs Unmanaged: Which Do You Need?
Most Teltonika switches are unmanaged — plug them in and they work. Four models offer full management: TSW202, TSW212, and the SWM series.
| Feature | Unmanaged (TSW010–TSW210) | Managed (TSW202, TSW212, SWM) |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Plug and play | Web UI / TswOS configuration |
| VLANs | No | Yes — segment traffic |
| QoS | No | Yes — prioritise voice/video |
| Port control | No | Yes — enable/disable, speed limits |
| Industrial protocols | No | PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, MRP |
| Remote management | No | Yes — RMS cloud monitoring |
| Loop protection | No | STP/RSTP |
| PoE watchdog | No | Yes — auto-reboot hung devices |
When to choose managed
- You need to separate network traffic (e.g., CCTV on one VLAN, guest WiFi on another)
- You're deploying in industrial automation requiring PROFINET or EtherNet/IP
- You need remote visibility and control via Teltonika RMS
- You want PoE watchdog to automatically reboot unresponsive cameras
- You need redundancy via MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol)
Passive PoE Compatibility Warning
Several Teltonika switches support Passive PoE input on Port 1, allowing you to power the switch via an Ethernet cable. This is useful where running a separate power cable is impractical.
Models supporting Passive PoE input: TSW010, TSW114, TSW304

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Teltonika switches include a power supply?
Most PoE switches are sold without a PSU to allow flexibility — you choose the PSU that matches your PoE budget. Non-PoE switches may or may not include one depending on the SKU. Always check before ordering.
Can I use my existing 12V power supply with a PoE switch?
No. The switch will power on with a 12V supply, but it will not provide PoE output to connected devices. You need a 44–57V DC supply to enable PoE functionality.
What's the difference between the TSW200 and TSW202?
Both have identical port configurations (8 × PoE+ plus 2 SFP). The TSW202 is managed, running TswOS with VLANs, QoS, PROFINET support, PoE scheduling, and RMS cloud management. The TSW200 is unmanaged (plug-and-play).
Do I need the 250W PSU or will 62W work?
It depends on your total PoE load. The 62W PSU provides approximately 60W for PoE after switch overhead. If you're running 4 cameras at 10W each (40W), 62W is sufficient. If you need the full 240W budget, you must use the 250W PSU.
Can I power Teltonika switches from a standard 802.3af/at PoE port?
Generally no. While some switches accept passive PoE on Port 1, they are not compatible with 802.3af/at voltage levels (48V). Connecting to a standard PoE port will damage the switch.
What SFP modules work with Teltonika switches?
Teltonika switches with SFP ports accept standard 1000BASE SFP modules. Match the module to your fibre type — single-mode for long distances, multi-mode for shorter runs up to ~550m.
Can I manage TSW switches remotely?
Only managed models (TSW202, TSW212, SWM series) support remote management via Teltonika RMS. Unmanaged switches have no configuration interface.
What is PROFINET?
PROFINET is an industrial Ethernet standard used in factory automation and process control. It enables real-time data exchange between PLCs, sensors, drives, and other industrial devices, with cycle times as low as 31.25 microseconds — essential for robotics and motion control.
Do any Teltonika PoE switches support power boost to deliver PoE using 12V DC?
No. They require 48V DC input for standard 802.3af/at PoE output — no built-in voltage boost. For off-grid or vehicle applications with only 12V/24V available, you'll need an external DC-DC step-up converter or a specialist PoE switch with integrated boost.
