Outdoor PoE Switch Atte IP-8-20-L2 — 8-Port switch for IP cameras, model 18314

Atte IP-8-20-L2 is an outdoor 8-port PoE switch designed specifically for IP camera systems. The switch integrates Power over Ethernet with eight Ethernet ports to deliver both data and power over a single cable to outdoor surveillance cameras. Its compact, weather-resistant design simplifies installation in small to medium CCTV deployments by reducing the need for separate power sources and additional cabling while supporting centralized connectivity for multiple cameras.

Advantages

The Atte IP-8-20-L2 provides combined data and power delivery to connected IP cameras, minimizing cable runs and installation complexity. Its outdoor-capable housing protects networking components from weather exposure, enabling installation near camera locations. The eight PoE-enabled ports allow simultaneous connection of multiple devices, which helps consolidate network management for surveillance systems and reduces the need for separate power injectors or adapters.

Suitable for

• Outdoor and sheltered IP camera installations for small to medium-sized CCTV systems
• Perimeter and site surveillance where localized PoE power simplifies cabling
• Upgrades of existing camera deployments to centralized network power delivery
• Remote camera clusters where a weather-resistant switch is required

Key specifications

• Number of Ethernet ports: 8 PoE-enabled ports
• Function: Data and power delivery over Ethernet for IP cameras
• Mounting and installation: Outdoor-capable enclosure suitable for near-camera placement
• Intended application: Surveillance network switch for small to medium CCTV setups

How to use

Install the Atte IP-8-20-L2 in a location close to the cluster of cameras to minimize cable length and exposure. Connect each IP camera to one of the PoE ports using standard Ethernet cables rated for outdoor use if routed externally. Link the switch uplink port to the recorder, NVR, or network backbone for data aggregation and remote access. Ensure the enclosure is mounted securely and, where applicable, sealed against direct water ingress following standard outdoor installation practices.

Recommendations

Use shielded or outdoor-rated Ethernet cable for exposed runs and verify cable length limits for both data integrity and PoE power delivery. Confirm camera power requirements and total PoE budget before connecting multiple high-power devices. Place the switch in a ventilated, protected position to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme weather when possible.
