Unmanaged Switch PLANET GSW-5240HP 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE

The PLANET GSW-5240HP is an unmanaged 1U rack-mountable Gigabit Ethernet switch with 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 1000BASE-X SFP uplink interfaces. It integrates IEEE 802.3at PoE+ injector functionality across all 48 RJ45 ports, offering a combined PoE power budget of up to 370 W. Designed for SMB and enterprise access networks, the switch delivers Layer 2 switching performance with a 104 Gbit/s switching capacity and a 16,000-entry MAC address table while providing a plug-and-play installation experience.

Advantages

The GSW-5240HP supplies Gigabit data and up to 30 W of PoE+ power per port to connected powered devices, consolidating data and power delivery in a single unit to reduce cabling and installation costs. It includes PD alive-check capability to automatically reset PoE to unresponsive devices, improving network reliability and reducing maintenance effort. Energy-saving features such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), idle-link power savings and power adjustment based on cable length help lower power consumption. Built-in SFP slots provide flexible fiber uplink distances for backbone or monitoring links.

Suitable for

• Powering and connecting IP cameras and surveillance systems
• Supplying power to wireless access points in enterprise and SMB deployments
• VoIP phone installations requiring centralized PoE delivery
• Edge or access-layer switching in branch offices, retail sites and small data centers

How to use

Install the GSW-5240HP in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting brackets or place it on a stable shelf. Connect network devices to the RJ45 ports with Cat5e/6 cables; the ports support auto-MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps. Insert SFP transceivers into the mini-GBIC slots when fiber uplinks are required. PoE power is supplied automatically to IEEE 802.3af/at compliant powered devices; monitor device status using the front-panel indicators and allow the PD alive-check function to reset unresponsive devices when needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, plan PoE budget allocation so the combined power draw of connected devices does not exceed the 370 W total. Use appropriate SFP transceivers and fiber types for the required uplink distance, and install the switch in a ventilated environment within the manufacturer’s operational temperature range.
