Power over Ethernet Made Simple

This switch eliminates the need for separate power supplies on compatible devices. Each of the four PoE+ ports supports IEEE 802.3af/at standards, delivering up to 30W per port. The total 65W budget intelligently manages power distribution across connected devices. This reduces cable clutter and infrastructure costs while maintaining reliable power delivery to critical equipment.

Plug and Play Installation

Setup requires no technical expertise. Auto-negotiation automatically configures port speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps) and MDI/MDIX crossover detection. The switch immediately begins operating once connected to power and network devices. LED indicators provide clear status information for power and link activity. This straightforward approach saves time and eliminates configuration complexity.

Enhanced Network Security Features

Isolation mode provides one-click traffic separation for ports 1-4. This prevents snooping and tampering between connected devices while containing broadcast storms. Port prioritization ensures quality of service for sensitive applications like voice and video. These features protect your network without requiring advanced configuration.

Durable Metal Construction

The robust metal housing offers superior heat dissipation and signal interference protection. This design extends equipment lifespan and maintains stable performance during continuous operation. Wall-mountable design provides flexible deployment options in space-constrained environments. The silent operation makes it suitable for noise-sensitive locations.
