Scale and connect up to 5 Gigabit Ethernet devices to your network, including 2 PoE (802.3af) devices - This PoE-powered switch expands your Gigabit network connectivity to remote locations where a power source is not available. For more versatility, you can power and network your Gigabit PoE-powered devices (PD) using two 802.3af PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) ports. Its durable metal housing and redundant power input make this 5-port switch ideal for harsh environments. PoE-powered device (PD) provides installation flexibility The Gigabit network switch is powered through your existing PoE network infrastructure, so you can deploy it without an external power adapter. This gives you the flexibility to install the switch exactly where you need it, without additional hassle or costs. Plus, the switch supports the most common types of PoE power input, including 802.3af/at networks, so you can rest assured that it will be compatible with your PoE equipment. Integrated PSE ports can save you money This Power over Ethernet switch features two 802.3af ports, so you can deliver both power and data to your PoE PDs without the expense of additional PoE injectors or switches. The switch provides 15W of total power output across both ports, so you can power and connect PoE devices such as IP phones and cameras in situations where a typical AC-powered network device can't be used. For applications where a power source is available, you can connect the optional power adapter and deliver up to 15W to each PSE port. Redundant power input gives you peace of mind The 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch offers redundant power input using the included power adapter. With both PoE and AC power input, the versatile switch can remain operational during power dips, failures, or outages, making it perfect for factories, warehouses, and other industrial environments. The IES51GPOEPD is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
