Product Features

16 Gigabit PoE+ Ports with 250 W Budget
Sixteen IEEE 802.3at/af-compliant ports deliver up to 30 W per port with a total budget of 250 W, suitable for high-power devices like PTZ cameras and access points.

Two Combo Gigabit SFP Slots
Provide flexible uplink options for fiber or copper connections, enhancing network scalability.

Easy Smart Management Interface
Configure VLANs (up to 32), QoS, link aggregation, and monitor network traffic via a web GUI or utility—no CLI needed.

Intelligent Power Management and Auto Recovery
Automatically reboots unresponsive PoE devices and disables lower-priority ports when power demand exceeds capacity, ensuring continuous operation for critical devices.

Advanced QoS and IGMP Snooping
Supports 802.1p/DSCP, four priority queues, and IGMP snooping v1/v2/v3 to optimize voice, video, and multicast traffic like IPTV.

Rack‑Mountable with Dual Fans
