Unmanaged Switch Cudy FS1026PS1 24 Ports Gigabit Ethernet PoE

The Cudy FS1026PS1 is an unmanaged network switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE). It provides a total PoE power budget of 300 W and supports up to 30 W for a single PoE port while complying with IEEE 802.3af/at standards. The switch offers a switching capacity of 10.8 Gbit/s, a MAC address table sized for 2000 entries, and a metal housing designed for improved heat dissipation. It is suitable for rack mounting and intended for straightforward expansion of wired and PoE-powered devices in small offices, retail spaces, and homes.

Advantages

The switch supplies a substantial PoE budget to power multiple devices simultaneously and isolates non-standard PoE devices to prevent damage. An integrated PoE watchdog monitors connected devices and automatically restarts a ported device if a malfunction is detected, helping maintain continuous operation. The fanless design ensures silent operation, and the metal chassis increases durability and thermal performance. The device is plug-and-play, requiring no configuration to start basic switching and PoE delivery.

Suitable for

• IP surveillance systems with PoE cameras
• VoIP telephony and conference phones
• Wi‑Fi access point deployment for extended wireless coverage
• Small office and retail network expansion

How to use

Place the switch in a ventilated location or mount it in a compatible rack, connect the switch to your network uplink using a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and then connect PoE devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, or Wi‑Fi access points to the RJ‑45 ports. The unit is unmanaged and plug-and-play, so connected devices will receive power and network connectivity automatically without additional configuration. Monitor device status via the switch LEDs and allow the PoE watchdog to handle automatic restarts if a connected device becomes unresponsive.

Recommendations

Distribute PoE power consumption across multiple ports to avoid exceeding the 300 W budget; consult device power requirements before deployment. Install the switch in a dust-free, ventilated environment and avoid covering the metal casing to maintain effective passive cooling. For critical installations, place essential devices on separate ports to benefit from the PoE watchdog’s automatic recovery feature.
