Product Overview
This is a layer-2 managed PoE+ switch with 16-ports, 2 shared RJ45 + SFP uplink ports, and an additional 2 SFP ports. It’s compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at standards, making it perfect for powering CCTV cameras and wireless APs. There’s also a console port for logging into the switch and managing the network.
This switch is useful as the backhaul of a wired network, allowing you to bridge long distances with fiber cable while also supplying power for PoE cameras.
All Petenet switches have a neat toggle switch that allows you to activate four functions:
- VLAN: Ports 1-4 will be unable to communicate with each other. They can only pass data to the uplink port.
- Extend: Ports 1-4 can transmit power and data up to 250m over Cat5e or Cat6 cable – however the network speed of these ports are reduced to 10 Mbps.
- Watchdog: If a network port has a data link for 2-3 minutes WITHOUT data transmission, the port will automatically reboot. This will attempt to reboot and fix the camera’s connectivity issue.
- QOS: The ports with a yellow colour underneath will have a higher priority than other ports. This is helpful if these ports are used to connect Wireless APs or directly to a computer.
