Unmanaged Network Switch PLANET BSP-115HP-5A Gigabit Ethernet PoE 5 Ports

The PLANET BSP-115HP-5A Gigabit Ethernet PoE 5 Ports is an unmanaged network switch designed for installations that require Power over Ethernet (PoE) combined with flexible renewable power options. It offers five 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports with PoE support (port 1 up to 60 W, ports 2–5 supporting 802.3at PoE+ injector function and passive 24V/48V options on ports 4–5), a total PoE budget up to 65 W, and an additional 100/1000BASE-X SFP fiber port. The switch supports a 12 Gbit/s switching capacity and a MAC address table of 2000 entries, and it is suitable for wall mounting and remote or off-grid network deployments powered by solar, DC or battery sources.

Advantages

The BSP-115HP-5A integrates PoE delivery with support for solar, DC and battery inputs, enabling zero-carbon and stable power supply to connected devices. It includes an intelligent powered device alive-check feature that can reset PoE to revive unresponsive devices, enhancing network reliability. The unit supports extended-distance PoE output when configured in Extend mode, and its temperature sensor protects batteries by stopping high-current PoE when critical temperatures are reached. Compact, blue-coloured and unmanaged, the switch provides straightforward installation and maintenance-free operation.

Suitable for

• Remote surveillance systems and outdoor IP cameras
• Wireless PoE access points in off-grid locations
• Temporary or mobile deployments powered by solar or battery
• Rural communication sites, nature parks, highways and dams

How to use

Install the BSP-115HP-5A on a secure wall surface using the provided mounting points and connect fiber or copper uplink to the appropriate SFP or RJ-45 port. Connect powered devices to the PoE-enabled ports and configure the DIP switch to select VLAN or Extend mode depending on whether you need port-based isolation or long-distance PoE. Connect the chosen power inputs — solar PV, DC source or battery — following the manufacturer wiring guidelines and ensure battery type and voltage match the selected passive PoE options when used. Once powered, the switch operates as an unmanaged device; the PD alive-check will monitor and reset PoE to unresponsive devices automatically.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use appropriate-rated solar panels and batteries for your location and expected load, and choose the 24V passive PoE option when compatible devices are available to improve energy efficiency. Use Extend mode only for devices that require extended reach at reduced data rate, and ensure proper ventilation and placement to allow the temperature sensor to protect the battery effectively.
