This small but powerful switch is the perfect choice for a home network or small office when you want to easily connect both data and power to devices. Four PoE+ ports allow power to be supplied to, for example, IP cameras, wireless access points, or phones directly on the same cable as data – without a separate power supply for each device. One of the ports acts as a standard fast 1 Gb/s connection, so the switch creates both a system and a power source for the same devices. Setup is effortless — no configuration, just set it in place and connect your devices.
Features in a nutshell
-
5 RJ45 ports, all at 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit) speed.
-
Ports 1–4 support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3 af/at standards) – power and data on the same cable.
-
One port (port 5) acts as a standard Gigabit port without PoE support.
-
Total PoE power budget up to 65 W for all PoE ports combined.
-
A single PoE port can provide up to 30 W to devices.
-
Plug & Play – no separate programming or configuration required.
-
The device is silent (fanless) and has a metal casing – suitable for a home office or small business.
-
Priority function: if the combined consumption of PoE devices exceeds the budget, the system cuts off the lowest priority port to ensure functionality.
Why it makes everyday networking easier
This switch frees you from extra power supplies: for example, if you have multiple IP cameras or WiFi access points, you can power them with a data cable without a separate plug for each device. When data transfer operates efficiently at Gigabit speed, the internet and devices remain smooth – even when there is a lot of data transfer. Easy installation means you don't need a network expert – just connect it to your router, connect the devices, and they work. The metal casing and quiet operation are suitable for a home environment, and four PoE ports are sufficient for many use cases.
You can use this switch for example:
-
as the central hub for a home or small business surveillance system
-
in locations where WiFi access points are installed far from power outlets
-
for IP phones or mixer devices where cable power simplifies arrangement
-
in a small office network where you want one device to provide both data and power to devices
