LevelOne FGP-2031 network switch Unmanaged Fast Ethernet (10/100) Power over Ethernet (PoE) 1U Black

The LevelOne FGP-2031 is a 20-port Fast Ethernet unmanaged PoE switch with 2 Gigabit RJ45 and 2 Gigabit SFP uplink ports. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at standards and provides a total PoE budget of 270W, offering flexible power allocation for various powered devices. The switch includes DIP switch configuration for PoE Auto-Check and three operating modes: Extension, Default, and VLAN.

Advantages

The FGP-2031 delivers a high total PoE budget of 270W, allowing multiple ports to provide power simultaneously. With support for up to 16 ports at 15.4W or 9 ports at 30W, the switch adapts to different powered device requirements. The unmanaged design keeps configuration minimal while the two Gigabit RJ45 and two SFP uplinks ensure reliable high-speed connectivity. DIP switch options simplify mode selection and PoE checks without requiring a management interface.

Key specifications

• Ports: 20 Fast Ethernet PoE ports
• Uplink: 2 × Gigabit RJ45, 2 × Gigabit SFP
• PoE standard: IEEE 802.3af/at
• Total PoE budget: 270W
• PoE power per port: up to 15.4W (up to 16 ports) or up to 30W (up to 9 ports)
• Switch type: Unmanaged
• Configuration: DIP switch for PoE Auto-Check and Extension/Default/VLAN modes

How to use

Install the FGP-2031 on a flat surface or in a rack according to the manufacturer’s instructions and connect power. Use Ethernet cables to connect powered devices to the PoE ports and connect uplink ports to routers or core switches via the Gigabit RJ45 or SFP ports. Configure PoE behavior and operating mode using the physical DIP switches for Auto-Check, Extension, Default, or VLAN mode. Monitor device functionality and power distribution by checking connected PDs and ensuring the total power consumption does not exceed the 270W budget.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, plan power allocation according to device requirements (for example cameras or access points), prioritize critical devices when total power approaches 270W, and use Gigabit uplinks for backbone connectivity. Follow LevelOne installation guidelines and ensure compatible SFP modules when using fiber uplinks.
