LevelOne FGP-2831 network switch Unmanaged Fast Ethernet (10/100) Power over Ethernet (PoE) 1U Black

The LevelOne FGP-2831 is an unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch with 28 RJ-45 ports and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. It includes two Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports and two Gigabit SFP uplink slots in a 1U rack-mountable form factor, providing wired connectivity for small to medium network deployments and powering PoE devices in compliance with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards.

Advantages

The FGP-2831 offers a total PoE budget of 390 W and supports flexible power allocation: up to 24 ports at 15.4 W or up to 13 ports at 30 W. It is an unmanaged switch that requires no configuration for basic operation and includes a DIP switch for selecting PoE Auto-Check, Extension mode, Default mode, and VLAN mode functions. The inclusion of two Gigabit RJ45 and two Gigabit SFP uplinks allows integration with higher-speed network segments while maintaining Fast Ethernet access ports.

Suitable for

• Powering IP cameras and CCTV systems
• Providing PoE for VoIP phones and access points
• Small to medium office or retail network access layer

How to use

Install the FGP-2831 in a standard 19-inch rack using the included mounting brackets or place it on a flat surface. Connect network devices to the 10/100 PoE RJ-45 ports to supply power and data simultaneously. Use the Gigabit RJ45 or SFP uplink ports to connect to your core switch or router for uplink aggregation. Configure the DIP switch to enable PoE Auto-Check, select Extension/Default/VLAN modes as needed for your deployment; no additional software configuration is required for basic operation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, distribute powered devices according to the PoE budget to avoid exceeding the 390 W limit; when using high-power devices, plan port allocation to stay within the supported number of 30 W ports. Ensure proper rack ventilation and place the switch in a dust-free environment to maintain performance.
