Unmanaged Network Switch PLANET FGSW-1822VHP

PLANET FGSW-1822VHP is an unmanaged Fast Ethernet PoE+ switch that delivers a plug-and-watch power-over-Ethernet solution with an integrated LCD panel for real-time PoE and port status monitoring without the need for a PC or software. The switch includes 16 10/100BASE-TX ports delivering up to 30 W PoE+ per port, two Gigabit TP uplink ports and two Gigabit SFP slots. With a total PoE budget of 300 W, non-blocking switching performance and a compact desktop/1U form factor, the FGSW-1822VHP is designed for small-business, surveillance and system integration deployments that require reliable power and data delivery over Ethernet.

Advantages

The FGSW-1822VHP provides quick installation and visible status information via an intuitive color LCD on the front panel that shows PoE and port conditions and supports immediate troubleshooting. It supports three operation modes (Standard, VLAN and Extend) to adapt to different network topologies, offers two SFP mini-GBIC slots for long-distance fiber uplinks, and includes ESD and surge protection to enhance stability and protect network equipment. Auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X simplify cabling and speed detection.

Suitable for

• Small and medium business networks requiring PoE for IP phones and wireless access points
• HD IP surveillance systems and camera deployments
• Hotel, retail and public-area network installations
• System integrators and installers needing a visible, easy-to-manage PoE switch

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface or mount it in a rack (1U) according to available space. Connect power to the internal power supply, then connect network devices to the RJ45 PoE ports using Category 5/5e/6 cables; uplinks may use the Gigabit TP ports or SFP modules for fiber connections. The front-panel LCD provides immediate status for PoE allocation, per-port status and mode selection. Choose Standard mode for normal PoE operation, VLAN mode to isolate ports and reduce broadcast/multicast impact, or Extend mode to provide 20 W PoE over longer distances up to 250 m at 10 Mbps duplex per port.

Recommendations

For stable operation, plan PoE device connections so the combined power draw does not exceed the 300 W total budget. Use appropriate SFP modules for your fiber type and distance, and enable VLAN mode when deploying multiple cameras to prevent multicast/broadcast storms. For cable runs longer than 100 m that require power, use Extend mode but verify device compatibility with 10 Mbps operation.
