Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch delivers full Gigabit Ethernet performance across all four RJ-45 ports, supporting 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-X network technologies for flexible copper or fiber uplink connectivity. The integrated SFP expansion slot allows for fiber optic connections, extending network reach beyond the 100-meter limit of twisted pair cabling and providing high-bandwidth uplinks to core network infrastructure.
Power over Ethernet compliance includes IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of PoE and PoE+ devices. The 120W total PoE budget is intelligently managed across the four ports, allowing for optimal power allocation to connected devices without requiring separate power supplies at remote endpoints.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

Deployment / Use Cases
This hardened switch is ideal for environments where network equipment must operate reliably outside traditional climate-controlled spaces. Its pole-mount capability allows for direct installation on light poles, building exteriors, or industrial frames, minimizing the need for protective enclosures.
Common applications include outdoor surveillance systems where multiple PoE cameras require both data and power, wireless mesh networks in large outdoor areas, and industrial automation systems connecting sensors and controllers across factory floors. The Layer 2 functionality supports VLAN segmentation for separating traffic between different device types or security zones.
Outdoor Security Networks
Deploy as the central switch for perimeter security systems, powering and connecting IP cameras, access control readers, and lighting controllers across outdoor areas.
Industrial Connectivity
Use in manufacturing or warehouse environments to network PoE-enabled sensors, barcode scanners, and wireless terminals while withstanding dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations.
Physical Profile
The switch features a ruggedized enclosure measuring 13.31 inches in height, 11.31 inches in width, and 5.59 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 7.70 pounds. This compact form factor accommodates both enclosure mounting in electrical cabinets and direct pole mounting using standard hardware. The hardened construction protects internal components while maintaining adequate ventilation for continuous operation in varied environmental conditions.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the total PoE budget of this switch?
The NetWay NETWAY4E1WPN provides a total PoE budget of 120 watts, which is dynamically allocated across its four Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. This substantial power capacity supports multiple PoE+ devices simultaneously, such as high-power access points, PTZ cameras, or VoIP phones, without requiring separate power supplies at remote installation points.
How many SFP slots does this switch have?
This switch includes one SFP (mini-GBIC) expansion slot, allowing for fiber optic connectivity. The SFP slot supports 1000Base-X network technology, enabling long-distance uplinks to core network infrastructure or connections between buildings where copper cabling would be impractical or exceed distance limitations.
What does 'hardened' mean for this switch?
Hardened refers to the switch's ruggedized construction designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions typically found in outdoor or industrial settings. The enclosure protects against moisture, dust, temperature extremes, and physical impacts, making it suitable for installations where standard indoor switches would fail or require additional protective housing.
What mounting options are available?
The switch supports both enclosure mounting and pole mounting. The enclosure mounting allows installation in standard electrical cabinets or racks, while the pole mounting capability enables direct attachment to light poles, building exteriors, or structural frames using appropriate mounting hardware, simplifying deployment in outdoor or industrial areas.
What Layer does this switch support?
This switch supports Layer 2 switching, providing essential network functionality including VLAN support for traffic segmentation, basic quality of service, and MAC address learning. Layer 2 operation makes it suitable for small to medium network deployments where traffic management between connected devices is required without the complexity of full Layer 3 routing.
What is included in the warranty?
The NetWay NETWAY4E1WPN comes with a lifetime limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This extensive warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the switch's durability and reliability for long-term deployments in demanding environments.
