Switch EDIMAX IGS-5654PLX 54-Port Gigabit PoE+ with 6x 10GbE SFP

The EDIMAX IGS-5654PLX is a managed industrial switch that provides 54 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ capability and six 10GbE SFP uplink slots. Built for environments that require both high-density Power over Ethernet and high-speed fiber aggregation, this unit supports centralized deployment of IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP devices while enabling reliable network management and redundancy features suitable for industrial and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The switch combines a large number of PoE+ Gigabit ports with multiple 10GbE SFP uplinks to simplify network topology and reduce cabling complexity. Its managed feature set enables traffic segmentation, VLANs, QoS and monitoring for predictable performance. Designed for industrial use, the device supports stable power delivery, high throughput and scalable uplink capacity, facilitating integration with fiber backbones and aggregation switches.

Suitable for

• High-density PoE deployments for IP surveillance systems
• Wireless access point consolidation in enterprise or campus networks
• VoIP phone deployments requiring centralized power and connectivity
• Edge aggregation where fiber uplinks are necessary for backbone connectivity
• Industrial network segments with managed switching and redundancy needs

Key specifications

• Ports: 54 × 1 Gbps RJ-45 ports with PoE+ support
• Uplink: 6 × 10GbE SFP slots for fiber or high-speed modules
• PoE: IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) support across multiple ports for powered devices
• Management: Full managed switching capabilities including VLAN, QoS and SNMP
• Performance: Gigabit access switching with 10GbE aggregation capacity
• Form factor: Rack-mountable industrial-class chassis suitable for equipment rooms

How to use

Install the switch in a standard rack using the provided mounting hardware and connect Gigabit copper devices to the RJ-45 ports. Insert compatible SFP or SFP+ fiber modules into the 10GbE slots for uplink or aggregation links to core switches or fiber backbones. Configure PoE settings, VLANs, QoS and management access through the switch’s web interface, command line or SNMP management system to define traffic policies and power allocation for connected devices.

Recommendations

Plan PoE power budgets before deploying a large number of powered devices and distribute high-consumption devices across power domains where the switch supports it. Use quality SFP modules matched to the fiber type and distance for reliable 10GbE links. Apply VLAN segmentation and QoS to separate surveillance, voice and data traffic and enable link aggregation for increased uplink throughput and redundancy.
