Cudy GS1020PS2 network switch Gigabit Ethernet 16 ports PoE

The Cudy GS1020PS2 is a Gigabit Ethernet switch with 16 PoE-capable RJ-45 ports and 2 fiber SFP ports. It complies with IEEE 802.3af/at standards, provides a 200W total PoE budget and supports up to 30W on a single port using auto-sensing PoE+ technology. The switch has a metal housing for improved heat dissipation and uses a TPS PoE chipset to ensure stable performance and long service life.

Advantages

The switch supplies up to 200W of PoE+ power and can deliver up to 30W to a single 802.3at device while remaining backward compatible with 802.3af devices. Auto-sensing and port power prioritization help protect non-standard devices and maintain power to critical nodes. The robust metal case and internal TPS PoE chipset contribute to reliable operation and better heat dissipation in various environments. Built-in lightning and electrostatic protection increase device durability.

Suitable for

• Connecting and powering IP cameras in mid-sized surveillance systems
• Supplying PoE access points in offices, schools, or retail environments
• Powering VoIP phones and other PoE endpoints in business networks
• Integrating fiber uplinks via the two SFP ports for network expansion

How to use

Install the switch on a stable surface or mount it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect your network devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports; PoE-capable devices will receive power automatically via auto-sensing PoE+. Use the SFP ports for fiber uplinks to a core switch or another network segment. Ensure the total connected PoE power consumption does not exceed the 200W budget and prioritize critical devices where necessary.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a well-ventilated location to maximize heat dissipation from the metal case. When deploying many high-power PoE+ devices, calculate combined power draw to avoid exceeding the 200W budget and configure port prioritization if available for essential endpoints.
