The PoE-Powered 5-Port Gigabit Switch with PoE Passthrough from Intellinet Network Solutions is designed to draw power from a PoE switch or injector and pass both data and electrical power to multiple PoE-compatible devices via standard Cat5e or Cat6 network cables. Equipped with five Gigabit Ethernet ports, this switch can power up to four wireless LAN access points, bridges, VoIP phones, or IP video cameras, drawing its power from the PoE switch it is connected to, and delivering network speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps. Thanks to its PoE passthrough technology that extends a PoE connection, this versatile unit doubles the range between the PoE source and device from 100 m (328 ft.) to 200 m (656 ft.). Using it this way also eliminates the time and expense of electrical rewiring, which ultimately minimizes the unsightly clutter of power cables in awkward places such as ceilings and walls while providing up to 32 W to compatible devices. This switch supports the IEEE 802.3bt protocol over four pairs (4PPoE), which allows for a power input up to 95 W. It forwards data at Gigabit speeds and offers up to 30 watts per port to a connected IEEE 802.3at- or IEEE 802.3af-compliant device. When you connect the PD port (port 5) to a PoE enabled IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE injector or switch, this product uses some of the electric current to power itself and passes the available surplus power to up to four PoE edge devices, such as VoIP phones, allowing you to realize the full potential of each of the PSE ports in your data center. Equipped with five auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the 10 Gbps switch fabric provides plenty of performance for your computers and other networking devices. For full installation flexibility, you can mount the switch on the wall through its four built-in holes or use the included non-slip rubber feet to place it on a desktop.
