Managed Switch PLANET WGS-4215-16P2S L2 Gigabit Ethernet 16 Ports PoE

The PLANET WGS-4215-16P2S is a managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet wall-mount switch with 16 10/100/1000T RJ-45 ports and 2 100/1000X SFP uplink slots. Designed for space-limited installations such as wall enclosures or electric weak boxes, it provides IPv6/IPv4 dual-stack management, advanced Layer 2 features and up to 240 W total PoE power budget in a compact IP40 metal housing. The switch operates reliably in temperatures from -10 to 60 °C and supports a switching capacity appropriate for surveillance, wireless and building automation networks.

Advantages

The WGS-4215-16P2S combines high PoE power (16 PoE ports with a 240 W budget) and dual SFP uplinks with managed L2 functions including VLAN, MSTP, link aggregation and QoS. It offers PoE-specific features such as PD alive check, scheduled power recycling and PoE scheduling for energy saving, plus secure management via web, Telnet, SSH, SSL and SNMP v3. The rugged, flat metal housing with IP40 rating and multiple mounting options (front access, fixed wall, magnetic or DIN rail) simplifies installation in constrained environments.

Suitable for

• IP surveillance systems with multiple PoE cameras and NVRs
• Wireless LAN access point deployment with centralized PoE management
• Building and home automation networks and IoT edge devices
• Small and medium business edge switching in space-limited locations

How to use

Mount the WGS-4215-16P2S on a wall, inside an enclosure or on DIN rail using the provided mounting options and front-access design for cabling and LED monitoring. Connect Gigabit RJ-45 devices and insert SFP transceivers into the mini-GBIC slots for fiber uplink if long-distance extension is required. Configure network settings, VLANs, PoE schedules and security policies through the web GUI or via SNMP/Telnet/SSH according to your network design. Use the PD alive check and scheduled power recycling to maintain uptime of PoE devices such as cameras and access points.

Recommendations

Use PoE schedule and per-port power monitoring to reduce energy consumption and power-cycle non-responsive PDs with the PD alive check rather than performing manual reboots. For fiber uplinks, choose appropriate SFP modules (100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX/LX) matching distance requirements and enable SFP-DDM to monitor transceiver parameters.
