This cost-effective network switch was designed for the needs of home users, businesses and IT/facility managers. It combines easy setup, blazing-fast network speeds, trouble-free operation and rock-solid reliability with outstanding value. It also supports high-wattage Power over Ethernet (PoE+) devices like security cameras and wireless access points.
Unmanaged Ethernet switches provide plug-and-play network convenience. Simply connect your network cables, and your Gigabit network is ready to go. Easy-to-read LEDs communicate port-by-port network activity at a glance, including Power over Ethernet status. If you ever need to expand your network, it only takes a moment to connect more switches through the auto-MDIX Ethernet ports.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivers convenient in-line power to compatible equipment like security cameras, wireless access points, routers, IP phones, access control devices, PA speakers and sensors. This switch has one of the highest total PoE wattage budgets in its price range, which means you can power more devices without overloading the switch. It also supports the PoE+ standard to deliver more watts per port and drive the latest power-hungry devices while maintaining complete compatibility with lower-wattage devices. This energy-efficient network switch sets inactive ports to a power-saving standby mode. It also optimizes energy used by active ports to match cable length. This happens automatically, without any reduction in speed or reliability. In fact, energy-efficient switches typically last longer because they run cooler.
