Switch ComNet Intelligent Self Managed Ring CNGE2+2SMSPOEHO 2 Ports PoE

ComNet Intelligent Self Managed Ring CNGE2+2SMSPOEHO 2 Ports PoE is a compact network switch designed for small-scale Ethernet deployments requiring two powered devices. The device combines ring topology management with basic self-managed features to provide resilient connectivity for applications such as CCTV camera links, access control controllers and small industrial segments where centralized Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies cabling and installation.

Advantages

This switch offers a space-saving form factor and integrated PoE on two ports to power devices directly over Ethernet. Its support for self-managed ring topology improves network resilience by enabling automatic protection in ring configurations. The unit is suitable for environments where straightforward configuration and reliable link recovery are priorities, reducing the need for complex management systems while keeping centralised power delivery.

Suitable for

• CCTV camera connections requiring PoE power
• Access control systems and door controllers
• Small industrial or machine-to-machine Ethernet segments
• Edge deployments where two powered devices are needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: compact, DIN-rail or panel-mountable (manufacturer typical)
• Ports: includes two PoE-enabled Ethernet ports plus additional Ethernet ports for uplink and ring topology
• PoE: integrated PoE capability on two ports to supply power to connected devices
• Topology support: ring topology management with self-managed protection features
• Use case: designed for small-scale deployments such as CCTV and access control

How to use

Install the switch in a suitable enclosure, on a DIN rail, or on a panel according to site requirements and local regulations. Connect the network uplink and form the ring by connecting the relevant Ethernet ports to adjacent switches or devices. Plug PoE-powered devices into the two PoE Ethernet ports; the switch will supply power over the same Ethernet cables. Configure basic ring or self-managed settings through the device's management interface if adjustments to default protection timing or port behavior are required. Ensure that connected devices are within the supported power budget of the PoE ports.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated, dry environment and verify cable quality and grounding. Use the switch within its intended small-scale deployments such as CCTV and access control; avoid exceeding the combined PoE power budget by checking powered device consumption. For improved resilience, integrate the switch into a ring with compatible ComNet or similar network devices and verify ring restoration behavior in a controlled test before full deployment.
