- 1.14" profile fits tight spaces
- Metal durability for commercial use
- Wall-mountable design
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch excels in environments where traditional power infrastructure is challenging to deploy or where clean cable management is a priority. Its PoE-powered operation makes it particularly valuable for temporary installations, retrofit projects, and locations with limited electrical outlets.
Common deployment scenarios include ceiling-mounted wireless access point networks, surveillance camera systems in warehouses or parking structures, VoIP phone deployments in office environments, and digital signage networks in retail spaces. The compact form factor also makes it suitable for network closets, conference rooms, and educational facilities where space optimization is critical.
Surveillance Systems
Power and connect multiple IP cameras from a single PoE source, eliminating the need for separate power adapters at each camera location while maintaining Gigabit throughput for high-resolution video streams.
Wireless Network Expansion
Deploy access points in optimal locations without being constrained by power outlet availability, using the switch's PoE passthrough capability to both power the switch and connected APs.
Physical Profile
Constructed from durable metal, the switch measures 9.45 inches wide by 4.09 inches deep by 1.14 inches high (240 x 104 x 29 mm), with a weight of approximately 1.46 pounds (660 g). This compact design allows for flexible mounting options including desktop placement, wall mounting using standard brackets, or integration into shallow network cabinets. The metal housing provides effective heat dissipation and physical protection in commercial environments.

User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The Intellinet 561679 switch features an 85W total PoE budget that can be distributed across its eight ports. With one PoE++ (802.3bt) port supporting up to 60W and seven PoE (802.3af/at) ports supporting up to 30W each, you can power multiple devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones simultaneously, limited by the 85W total budget. The actual number depends on the power requirements of each connected device.
What does 'PoE-powered' mean for this switch?
PoE-powered means the switch itself receives operational power through a Power over Ethernet connection rather than requiring a separate AC power adapter. This allows the switch to be installed in locations without convenient power outlets, as it can draw power from an upstream PoE injector or PoE switch. The switch then uses this power for its own operation and can also provide PoE power to connected devices through its ports.
What Layer 2 features does this switch support?
As a Layer 2 managed switch, the Intellinet 561679 supports essential management features including VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configuration for network segmentation, QoS (Quality of Service) for traffic prioritization, spanning tree protocol for network loop prevention, and port-based traffic control. These features provide basic network management capabilities for improved performance, security, and stability in business environments.
Can this switch be rack-mounted?
While the switch has a compact profile of 1.14 inches in height, it does not include built-in rack ears for standard rack mounting. However, its slim design and metal construction make it suitable for placement on rack shelves, in shallow network cabinets, or for wall mounting using optional brackets. The switch's dimensions (9.45" W x 4.09" D) allow it to fit in spaces where full-sized rack switches might not be practical.
What types of cables does this switch support?
This switch supports standard twisted pair Ethernet cables (Cat5e, Cat6, or higher) for all network connections. It is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T network technology, meaning it can automatically negotiate the appropriate speed with connected devices. The switch supports cable lengths up to 100 meters (328 feet) per Ethernet standard specifications, making it suitable for most office and commercial deployments.
What is the warranty coverage for this switch?
The Intellinet 561679 switch comes with a 3-year limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty provides assurance of product reliability for business deployments. The switch is also RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meeting environmental standards for reduced hazardous material content in its construction.
