The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switch (560641) from Intellinet Network Solutions is an excellent solution for transmitting data and power to PoE-compatible devices over Cat5e or Cat6 network cables. Equipped with eight Gigabit ports (all supporting 802.3at/af PoE/PoE+), this switch provides power to access points and bridges, VoIP phones, IP cameras and more, while delivering transmission speeds up to 1000 Mbps. This switch supports the IEEE 802.3at protocol, delivering up to 30 watts of power per port. IEEE802.3af or IEEE802.3at compliant devices connected to the switch do not require additional power, saving significant cost and time in running power lines and eliminating a lot of cable clutter and adapters in exposed locations such as walls and ceilings. Any combination of PoE and non-PoE devices is supported, and thanks to protection against short circuits, overloads and surges, your equipment is well protected. For devices that do not support the 802.3at/af standard (older access points or network cameras), we recommend using an Intellinet PoE/PoE+ splitter.
