FAQ

What devices are compatible with this PoE+ switch?

This switch is compatible with any IEEE 802.3af/at PoE or PoE+ devices, including IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and IoT sensors. It automatically detects and supplies power to supported devices, simplifying connectivity.

How does the 200m range extension work?

By enabling the DIP switch, the PoE+ signal can be extended up to 200 meters at a data rate of 10Mbps. This is achieved through signal boosting technology, ideal for long-distance deployments where standard Ethernet limits would otherwise restrict placement.

What is the power consumption of the switch itself?

The switch consumes minimal power when idle, typically under 5W, and efficiently distributes the 60W PoE budget to connected devices. This design helps reduce overall energy costs while maintaining high performance.

Can I use this switch outdoors?

While the switch is built with a durable metal housing, it is intended for indoor use. For outdoor installations, ensure it is placed in a weatherproof enclosure to protect against moisture and extreme temperatures.

Does it support gigabit speeds on all ports?

Yes, all five ports support gigabit Ethernet speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps) for fast data transfer. The PoE functionality does not compromise network speed, ensuring efficient operation for bandwidth-intensive applications.
