Unified Power & Data
Deliver both Gigabit data and up to 25.5W of power per port over standard Cat5e/6 cables, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at remote device locations.
Fiber Uplink Ready
The SFP slot supports optical fiber connections, enabling high-bandwidth uplinks over long distances and integration into mixed-media network topologies.
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is particularly suited for environments where network infrastructure must operate reliably under harsh conditions while supporting power-over-Ethernet devices. Its rugged form factor and PoE+ capabilities make it a versatile choice for various industrial and commercial applications.
In security and surveillance deployments, the switch can power and connect multiple IP cameras across a facility, with the SFP uplink ensuring high-speed video feed transmission back to a central monitoring station. For outdoor Wi-Fi networks, it provides both connectivity and power to wireless access points mounted on poles or buildings, simplifying installation and reducing cabling complexity.
Industrial Automation
Connect and power sensors, PLCs, and HMIs in manufacturing plants or warehouses, with the hardened enclosure protecting against dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations.
Outdoor Connectivity
Deploy in parking lots, campuses, or remote sites to extend network access and power to devices like digital signage, access control systems, or environmental monitors.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 13.31 inches in height, 11.31 inches in width, and 5.59 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 10.32 pounds. Its enclosure is designed for pole mounting or surface installation, providing flexibility in placement while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained environments. The robust construction ensures durability in applications where standard switches may not suffice.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 13.31" (338.07 mm), 11.31" (287.27 mm), 5.59" (141.99 mm), 10.32 lb (4681.073258 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
