16 PoE+ Ports with 250 W Budget for Demanding Setups
This switch delivers 30 W per PoE+ port across 16 ports, with a total budget of 250 W. It’s fully compliant with 802.3af/at standards, ensuring seamless compatibility with IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled devices. The unmanaged design means plug-and-play installation—no configuration required.
Intelligent Power Management Protects Your Network
When total power draw exceeds 250 W, the built-in Intelligent Power Management automatically prioritises critical ports, cutting power to lower-priority devices to prevent overload. It also detects connected device requirements, protecting non-PoE equipment from damage.
QoS Prioritisation for Smooth Performance
Quality of Service (QoS) support ensures latency-sensitive traffic like voice and video gets priority handling. This means clearer VoIP calls and smoother video streaming, even when the network is busy with multiple connected devices.
Robust Metal Housing with Professional Cooling
Built with durable metal casing and dual cooling fans, this switch operates reliably in temperatures from 0–50°C. The heat dissipation design maintains performance during extended operation, making it suitable for network closets and server rooms.
