ALLNET 18-port Gigabit PoE Switch ALL-SG8018P — 16 PoE ports + 2 uplink, Gigabit Ethernet

The ALLNET 18-port Gigabit PoE Switch ALL-SG8018P combines 16 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports and 2 Gigabit uplink ports in a compact Layer-2 switch intended for small to medium-sized networks. It enables centralized network connectivity for IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones while delivering power over the same Ethernet cables, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for separate power supplies. The switch supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds on all ports and is optimized for deployments where both data throughput and powered device support are required.

Advantages

This switch integrates 16 PoE-capable ports with two dedicated Gigabit uplink ports, allowing for simultaneous data transfer and power delivery to connected devices. By providing power over Ethernet, the ALL-SG8018P reduces cabling complexity and eliminates the need for individual power adapters at each device. The Layer-2 design offers straightforward network connectivity and interoperability with standard Gigabit equipment, making it suitable for common surveillance, wireless and voice deployments.

Suitable for

• Surveillance systems with multiple IP cameras
• Wireless network deployments using PoE access points
• VoIP phone systems requiring centralized power
• Small office or retail networks needing consolidated connectivity

Key specifications

• Port count: 18 total ports — 16 PoE ports plus 2 Gigabit uplink ports
• Data rate: Gigabit Ethernet on all ports
• Switch level: Layer-2 switching
• PoE functionality: Power over Ethernet on 16 ports to power compatible devices

How to use

Install the ALLNET ALL-SG8018P in a suitable rack or on a shelf with adequate ventilation. Connect network devices such as IP cameras, access points and VoIP phones to the PoE ports using standard Ethernet cables; the switch will supply power and data over the same cable. Use the two Gigabit uplink ports to connect to your core switch, router or network aggregator to provide uplink bandwidth for aggregated traffic. Configure connected devices according to their vendor instructions and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated, dust-free location and ensure the total PoE power budget meets the combined requirements of all connected devices. When planning deployments, distribute high-power devices across PoE ports to avoid exceeding power limits and use quality Ethernet cabling to maintain Gigabit performance.
