Switch, Intellinet 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE+ Switch, 8 x PoE ports, 1.6 Gbit/s

The Intellinet Network Solutions 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE+ Switch (560764) supplies both data and electrical power over standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables to PoE-compatible devices. With eight Fast Ethernet ports supporting IEEE 802.3at/af, the switch delivers network speeds up to 100 Mbps while powering wireless access points, VoIP phones, IP cameras and other devices. The total PoE budget is 140 watts, with average per-port distribution of 17.5 W and a maximum of 30 W per port.

Advantages

This PoE+ switch reduces installation time and wiring costs by delivering power and data over a single cable. It supports mixed deployments of PoE and non-PoE devices and includes short-circuit, overload and high-voltage protection to safeguard connected equipment. For legacy devices that do not comply with IEEE 802.3at/af, a compatible PoE/PoE+ splitter can be used.

Key specifications

• Model: Intellinet Network Solutions 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE+ Switch (560764)
• Ports: 8 x Fast Ethernet ports
• PoE standard: IEEE 802.3at/af
• Data speed: up to 100 Mbps per port
• Total PoE budget: 140 W
• Average per-port power distribution: 17.5 W
• Maximum per-port power: 30 W
• Supported cable: Cat5e / Cat6
• Protections: short-circuit, overload, high-voltage protection

How to use

Install the switch in a suitable location and connect network devices using Cat5e or Cat6 cables. Devices that support IEEE 802.3at/af will receive both power and data automatically through the connected port; non-PoE devices can be connected without receiving power. Monitor power consumption to ensure the total does not exceed the 140 W PoE budget, and use a PoE/PoE+ splitter for legacy devices that require separate power inputs.

Recommendations

Ensure connected devices are compatible with IEEE 802.3at/af when expecting PoE power. Distribute high-power devices across ports to avoid exceeding the total PoE budget and consider using a PoE splitter for legacy or noncompliant equipment.
