LevelOne 5-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch, 4 PoE Outputs, 120W, power adapter included

The FSW-0513(Z) is a compact 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet switch featuring 4 high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports and one uplink port. With a total PoE power budget of 120W and per-port delivery up to 52W, the switch is designed for powering high-consumption devices such as outdoor security dome cameras and wireless access points. Its small footprint makes it suitable for desktop use or installation of multiple units in a 19” chassis (POC-6000) for rack-mounted PoE deployments.

Advantages

The switch provides high-power PoE to extend the reach of powered devices and simplify installations by supplying data and power over a single cable. Individual PoE ports can be switched on or off using four dip switches for manual control. Built-in protections include over-voltage (OVP), over-current (OCP), short-circuit protection and surge protection to safeguard connected equipment. Auto-detection of non-standard PoE devices and IEEE 802.3af compliance improve compatibility and reliability.

Key specifications

• Flow control: IEEE 802.3x Flow Control
• Protections: OVP, OCP, short-circuit protection, surge protection

How to use

Place the FSW-0513(Z) on a desktop or mount multiple units into a POC-6000 19” chassis for rack installations. Connect the uplink port to your network switch or router and attach powered devices (cameras, access points) to the PoE ports using standard Ethernet cables. Use the four dip switches to enable or disable PoE on each corresponding port as needed. Ensure the combined power draw of connected devices does not exceed the 120W total PoE budget and observe per-port limits of up to 52W.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, calculate the total power requirements of connected devices before installation and distribute high-power devices across ports to avoid exceeding the 120W budget. Use quality outdoor-rated Ethernet cables for external devices and allow ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.
