Managed L2+ PoE Switch Yealink RCH80 8x RJ-45 ports 20 Gbit/s rack-mount black

The Yealink RCH80 is an 8-port managed L2+ PoE switch designed for AV over IP and professional meeting-room environments. It delivers 20 Gbit/s switching capacity, eight RJ-45 ports, rack-mountable form factor and a 130 W PoE+ power budget to power devices such as Yealink MTR systems, cameras, Pro Audio equipment and AVoIP encoders/decoders including EN300 and DE300. The switch supports industry audio networking standards and is optimized for Yealink AV protocols to ensure interoperable, high-performance connectivity.

Advantages

The RCH80 combines managed L2+ features with plug-and-play compatibility for Yealink AV devices, offering multicast optimization (IGMP Snooping and Fast Leave), Dante and AES67 support, and two SFP fiber uplinks for resilient connections. With an included AC/PoE power supply and rack-mount design, it simplifies deployment in meeting rooms and professional AV racks while providing centralized traffic management and PoE power delivery.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Small to medium meeting rooms and Yealink MTR deployments
• AV over IP installations using Yealink encoders/decoders (EN300/DE300)
• Professional audio network environments using Dante or AES67
• Edge network switch with PoE for IP phones, cameras, and access points

How to use

Mount the RCH80 in a rack or place it on a shelf, connect the AC power or PoE power supply provided, and link AV devices and endpoints to the RJ-45 ports. Use the SFP uplinks to connect to the core network or other switches. For Yealink AV over IP devices the switch supports plug-and-play operation with no initial configuration required; for mixed environments enable or configure multicast and Dante/AES67 settings via the web management interface as needed.

Recommendations

Disable Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) if it causes audio latency in your AV deployment; ensure IGMP Snooping is enabled and allocate PoE budget according to connected device power requirements to maintain stable AV and network performance.
