8+2 Power 10 Port 100M POE Switch with 48V External Supply for Wireless AP and IP Cameras

This 8+2 port POE switch delivers reliable network power and data to connected devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and other network equipment. By sending power over standard Ethernet cables, it removes the need for separate power outlets at each device location, reducing installation complexity and cost. With support for IEEE802.3af (15.4W) and IEEE802.3at (30W) standards, it accommodates a wide range of powered devices. The switch uses store-and-forward switching with a 2.0Gbps backplane, ensuring efficient data handling. It is powered by an external 48V 3A adapter and is designed for indoor use between 0°C and 40°C.

Port Configuration and Power Delivery

The switch provides 10 Ethernet ports in total: 8 POE-capable ports and 2 uplink ports. Ports 1 through 8 each supply up to 30W of power, with a total device power consumption of no more than 150W. Power is delivered over pairs 1/2+ and 3/6 by default, with optional support for pairs 4/5+ and 7/8.

8 POE Ports (1-8)

Each of the eight POE ports supports both IEEE802.3af (15.4W) and IEEE802.3at (30W). They automatically detect and supply the appropriate power level to connected devices. The transmission distance over Category 5 or better twisted pair cable is up to 200 metres, giving flexibility in device placement.

2 Uplink Ports (No POE)

Two dedicated uplink ports allow connection to a router, modem, or other network switch without affecting the POE capability of the eight lower ports. These ports do not supply power, making them suitable for standard network uplinks.

Power Supply and Consumption

An external power adapter converts AC220V input to a 48V 3A DC output. The switch itself consumes no more than 150W in total, covering both switching and POE power delivery.

Network Performance and Standards

The switch operates at 10/100M speeds with store-and-forward forwarding for reliable data delivery. It supports full-duplex flow control (IEEE802.3x) and half-duplex backpressure flow control, preventing packet loss during heavy traffic.

Backplane Bandwidth and Forwarding Rate

The backplane bandwidth is 2.0Gbps, sufficient for managing traffic across all ports simultaneously. For 10Base-T, the forwarding rate is 14880 PPS per port; for 100Base-TX, it is 148800 PPS per port.

MAC Address and Learning

The switch supports 2K MAC addresses with automatic learning and aging. This helps maintain efficient forwarding without manual configuration.

Network Medium and Distance

Category 5 or above unshielded twisted pair cable is required. The data transmission distance is up to 120 metres, while the POE power can extend up to 200 metres over the same cable.

Installation and Environmental Suitability

The switch is designed for indoor environments with controlled temperature and humidity. It is suitable for small offices, retail spaces, or home networks where multiple POE devices need simple connection.

Working and Storage Conditions

Operate between 0°C and 40°C with 10% to 90% relative humidity (non-condensing). Storage range is -40°C to 70°C with 5% to 90% relative humidity (non-condensing).

Indicator Lights and Diagnostics

Each port has a combined Link/Act and POE indicator. A single power indicator shows when the device is receiving external power, making status checks straightforward.

Power Priority Mechanism

The switch includes a power supply priority mechanism that helps maintain stable operation when multiple devices request power simultaneously.

Benefits and Buying Value

Using a single switch to supply both data and power to up to eight devices saves on cabling, installation time, and the cost of individual power adapters. The 200-metre power range allows placement of devices farther from the switch than typical 100-metre Ethernet limits.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

With no fans or moving parts and passive cooling, the switch requires minimal upkeep. Its external power adapter can be replaced separately if needed, extending the device's useful life.

Why Choose This Product

It offers a cost-effective way to add POE capability to a small network, supporting both 15.4W and 30W devices. The 2.0Gbps backplane ensures data throughput adequate for typical surveillance or Wi-Fi expansion setups.
