Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on a store-and-forward switching architecture, the P32S36GM supports wire-speed forwarding on all ports with automatic MDI/MDIX detection, eliminating the need for crossover cables. The switch adheres to key networking standards including IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at for PoE, plus IEEE 802.1x for port-based network access control, providing a secure and standards-compliant foundation.
Each of the 32 RJ-45 ports automatically detects and identifies compatible PoE devices, supplying up to 30W per port under the 802.3at standard. The four SFP (mini-GBIC) slots support Gigabit optical fiber or copper connections, enabling long-distance uplinks to core switches or connections to fiber-based network segments.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Uplink Port, 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.

Four SFP slots allow fiber uplinks for noise immunity and long-distance runs, or copper connections using included SFP to RJ-45 adapters for seamless integration into existing copper infrastructure.
- Includes 2 SFP to RJ-45 adapters
- Supports Gigabit fiber modules
- Future-proof expansion
Managed Control & QoS
Layer 2 management enables VLANs, traffic prioritization, port security, and bandwidth allocation, ensuring critical surveillance or voice traffic receives priority across the network.
- VLAN support
- Traffic prioritization
- Bandwidth management
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is purpose-built for environments where reliable PoE delivery and managed switching are non-negotiable. Its combination of high PoE port count, SFP uplink flexibility, and rack-mountable design makes it a fit for centralized network distribution points.
In security and surveillance deployments, the P32S36GM powers and connects multiple high-resolution IP cameras, PTZ domes, and network video recorders over a single cable, simplifying installation and reducing wiring costs. For enterprise or education networks, it serves as an access layer switch for connecting PoE phones, wireless access points, and desktop computers with granular control over network segments and traffic flow.
Physical Profile
The switch features a standard 1U rack-mountable chassis measuring 1.73" (44 mm) in height, 17.32" (440 mm) in width, and 11.42" (290 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 8.82 lb (4000 g). Its compact footprint fits seamlessly into 19-inch rack cabinets, and the included dust plugs help maintain port integrity in dusty environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (44 mm), 17.32" (440 mm), 11.42" (290 mm), 8.82 lb (4000 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
