Product Features
Technical Overview
The SG4P1TE supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) over twisted pair cabling, ensuring full-speed data transfers for modern network demands. It is compliant with key IEEE standards including 802.3af and 802.3at for PoE, 802.3ab for Gigabit Ethernet, and older 10/100BASE-TX standards for backward compatibility. The switch operates at Layer 2, providing basic switching functions without complex configuration.
Power management features include link-down power saving and cable length-based power optimization to reduce energy consumption. An alert system notifies when PoE power usage approaches the 60W budget, helping prevent overloads. The switch uses an external power adapter and does not support redundant power supplies, aligning with its unmanaged, desktop-oriented design.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This switch simplifies deployment by integrating PoE+ directly into a compact, unmanaged unit, eliminating the need for separate injectors or complex setup. Its range extend mode, activated via a dip switch, allows selected ports to operate at extended distances at 10 Mbps, useful for connecting remote devices in challenging layouts.
PoE+ Ready
Four ports deliver up to 30W each per IEEE 802.3at, powering devices like security cameras and access points efficiently.
- 60W total budget
- Alert system for power monitoring
- Backward compatible with 802.3af
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
As an unmanaged switch, it requires no configuration, making it ideal for users who need reliable connectivity without IT overhead.
- Auto-negotiation for speed/duplex
- Desktop placement flexibility
- Silent fanless operation
