- Visualized monitoring dashboard
- Remote management from anywhere
Enhanced Network Performance
Voice VLAN functionality ensures quality of service for VoIP traffic, while IGMP snooping optimizes multicast streaming. RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) prevents network loops and improves failover recovery.
- Prioritized VoIP traffic
- Optimized multicast handling
- Network loop prevention
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch extender serves as an ideal solution for extending network connectivity to areas where running new cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive. Its compact size and wall-mount capability make it suitable for installation behind monitors, under desks, or in telecom closets where rack space is limited.
Common deployment scenarios include adding network drops in conference rooms, retail point-of-sale locations, or remote office corners. The PoE port powers a single device such as a wireless access point or security camera, while the SFP uplink connects to fiber backbones for extended distance runs between buildings or floors.
Small Office Expansion
Add additional wired connections in growing offices without replacing existing switches. The compact design fits discreetly in workspace environments.
Retail & Hospitality
Deploy at point-of-sale stations or guest areas to connect multiple devices while powering a single PoE-enabled peripheral.

User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE ports does the EXT1106 have?
The EXT1106 includes one Gigabit Ethernet PoE port that delivers power to compatible powered devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras. This single PoE port operates alongside four standard Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing both data and power through a single cable connection to simplify remote device installation.
What is the purpose of the SFP slot on this switch?
The integrated Gigabit Ethernet SFP slot serves as an uplink port for connecting to fiber optic networks or extending network coverage beyond the 100-meter limitation of traditional copper cabling. This allows the switch to interface with fiber backbones for bandwidth-intensive applications or long-distance runs between buildings while maintaining full Gigabit performance.
Is the EXT1106 a managed or unmanaged switch?
This is a Layer 2 managed switch offering essential network management features including VLAN support for traffic segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for network stability. These managed capabilities provide administrators with control over network traffic without requiring a full enterprise-grade switch infrastructure.
Can I manage this switch remotely?
Yes, the EXT1106 supports cloud management through the EnGenius Cloud App, allowing configuration and monitoring from anywhere with internet access. The platform offers zero-touch provisioning for simplified deployment, visualized monitoring dashboards, and optional Pro licenses for advanced management features tailored to specific network requirements.
What are the physical dimensions of this switch?
The switch measures 1.10 inches in height, 2.09 inches in width, and 4.92 inches in length (27.94 × 53.09 × 124.97 mm), with a weight of approximately 4.37 ounces (124 grams). This compact form factor, combined with included wall-mount hardware, enables installation in space-constrained locations such as behind monitors, under desks, or in telecom closets.
What networking standards does this switch support?
The EXT1106 complies with IEEE 802.3u (Fast Ethernet), 802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet over copper), 802.1p (QoS prioritization), 802.1Q (VLAN tagging), and 802.1w (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) standards.
