Key Specifications

Professional PoE+ Power for Surveillance & Office Networks

This switch delivers professional-grade PoE+ power with 8 ports supporting up to 30W each, making it ideal for IP surveillance systems and office deployments. The 124W total power budget ensures reliable operation of multiple high-power devices simultaneously. Each PoE port automatically detects and supplies the correct power level to connected devices, eliminating compatibility concerns and protecting your equipment.

Extended Range & Enhanced Security Features

With Extend Mode activated, PoE transmission reaches up to 250 meters – perfect for covering large areas like warehouses, parking lots, or multi-room offices. Isolation Mode provides one-click traffic separation for ports 1-8, preventing network snooping and broadcast storms. This combination of extended range and security makes it suitable for environments where both coverage and data protection are priorities.

Intelligent Power Management & Fanless Operation

The switch features intelligent power management that automatically prioritizes critical devices when total power consumption exceeds 124W. Lower-priority ports are temporarily disabled to ensure essential equipment remains powered. The fanless metal chassis design operates silently while providing excellent heat dissipation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments like offices, libraries, and recording studios.
