Network switch Ernitec ELECTRA-M08-1GB-150W 8 ports 1GB 150W

The Ernitec ELECTRA-M08-1GB-150W is an 8‑port Gigabit switch with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivering up to 150 W total power and additional SFP uplink options. It provides eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 PoE ports, two 1 Gbps SFP ports, and a console port. The device supports common Ethernet standards and offers rack-mount installation for professional network deployments.

Advantages

The switch supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3x and 802.3z standards and is compatible with IEEE 802.3af (15.4 W) and IEEE 802.3at (30 W) PoE power classes. Built-in PoE management and a PoE watchdog enable centralized power control and automatic recovery for connected devices. Front panel indicators provide clear status monitoring to simplify troubleshooting. Multiple management options are available, including WEB, TELNET, CLI, SSH, SNMP and RMON, together with 802.1x, AAA and TACACS+ authentication for access control.

Suitable for

• Small and medium-sized business networks requiring PoE for IP phones, wireless access points and cameras
• Edge network deployments with a need for Gigabit uplinks via SFP
• Rack-mounted installations in server rooms and wiring closets (1U)

Key specifications

• Ports: 8 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 PoE ports, 2 × 1 Gbps SFP ports, 1 × console port
• PoE total power budget: 150 W; supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at
• Supported protocols: IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3x, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab, IEEE802.3z
• Management: WEB, TELNET, CLI, SSH, SNMP, RMON
• Authentication: 802.1x port authentication, AAA, TACACS+
• Form factor: 1U rack-mountable

How to use

Install the switch in a 1U rack space or place it on a stable surface. Connect network devices to the RJ45 PoE ports to provide both data and power where supported; use SFP ports for fiber uplinks or aggregated Gigabit connections. Access the device using WEB GUI, Telnet, SSH or CLI to configure VLANs, PoE settings and authentication policies. Monitor the front panel LEDs for link/activity and PoE status to verify correct operation.

Recommendations

Distribute the 150 W PoE budget across connected devices according to their IEEE class; prioritize critical devices and enable the PoE watchdog to auto-restart unresponsive equipment. Use appropriate SFP modules for fiber links and secure management access via SSH and AAA/TACACS+ authentication.
