PoE Network Switch

PoE switch that powers access points, cameras and desk phones over the data cable, with a managed option for VLAN and monitoring.

Every camera, access point and desk phone needs power, and the outlet at each one is the cost that gets forgotten until the ceiling is closed. A PoE switch sends power and data down the same cable, so the device is installed where it is actually needed. Managed units add VLANs, port security and remote monitoring, which matters as soon as the network carries cameras and guest traffic. The power budget has to be read as a total across all ports, not as a per-port figure.

How it is specified

  • Port count and speed, and the number of uplink ports
  • PoE standard supported, and the total power budget in watts
  • Managed or unmanaged, and which management interfaces are offered
  • VLAN, link aggregation, spanning tree and port security features
  • Whether SFP or SFP+ uplinks are included for fiber runs
  • Fanless or fan-cooled, and the noise level in an occupied room
  • Mounting: rack ear, wall bracket, or DIN rail

Where it is used

  • IP camera and access control networks
  • Wireless access point rollouts
  • Office desk phones and meeting room devices
  • Outdoor and industrial cabinets fed by one cable
