Product Features

16 Gigabit PoE+ Enabled Ports

Offers 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports with PoE+ support, enabling simultaneous delivery of high‑speed data and power (up to 30 W per port) to connected devices without the need for separate power adapters.

two Gigabit Uplink Ports

Equipped with 2 additional Gigabit uplink ports to connect routers, core switches, or high‑speed backbone links for expanded network coverage and performance.

Smart Managed Traffic Control

Includes smart management features such as VLAN (802.1Q), Quality of Service (QoS), Link Aggregation, IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention, and Access Control Lists (ACL) to prioritise critical traffic, improve security, and optimise network performance.

PoE Power Budget

Designed with a substantial total PoE power budget to support multiple high‑power PoE devices simultaneously, simplifying deployment of security cameras, access points, and VoIP phones.

Web‑Based and SNMP Management

User‑friendly web interface and SNMP support provide easy configuration, monitoring, and control of switch status, PoE power allocation, traffic statistics, and port settings.

Auto‑Negotiation and Auto‑MDI/MDIX

All RJ45 ports support Auto‑Negotiation and Auto‑MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need for crossover cables and automatically detecting the correct connection type and speed for each device.

Energy‑Efficient Operation

Green Ethernet power‑saving technology adjusts energy consumption based on link status and cable length, reducing overall power use while maintaining consistent network performance.

Flexible Deployment Options

Supports both desktop placement and rackmount installation with optional brackets (sold separately), offering versatile deployment for different networking environments.
