Smart Network Control for Growing Businesses

The EBP15 gives you complete visibility and control over your network traffic. With Quality of Service (QoS) management, you can prioritize critical applications like VoIP or video conferencing to ensure smooth performance during peak usage. The managed switch supports VLAN tagging and port mirroring, allowing IT administrators to segment networks and monitor traffic effectively. Its 8,000 MAC address table handles multiple connected devices without performance degradation.

Power Devices Efficiently with PoE+

Four Power over Ethernet ports eliminate the need for separate power adapters for compatible devices. Each port delivers up to 30W, supporting high-power devices like PTZ cameras or dual-radio access points. The total 60W PoE budget ensures reliable operation even when all ports are active. This centralized power delivery simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter, particularly valuable in ceiling-mounted or hard-to-reach locations.

Flexible Deployment Options

Deploy the EBP15 as a standalone managed switch using the intuitive web interface, or integrate it with ASUS ExpertWiFi routers for enhanced capabilities. In AiMesh mode, the switch becomes part of a unified network ecosystem, enabling seamless roaming and centralized management through the ExpertWiFi app. The switch supports both IPv4 networks and standard networking protocols including IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and IEEE 802.1p QoS, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Secure and Reliable Performance

Built-in SSL/TLS encryption protects management traffic, while loop protection prevents network outages from configuration errors. The EBP15 operates reliably in temperatures from 0-40°C with 10-95% humidity tolerance, making it suitable for various environments from small offices to retail spaces. Fanless operation ensures silent performance, and the compact 121x75x26mm footprint allows installation in standard low-voltage boxes or network cabinets.
