6 Port Fast Ethernet Manageable Desktop Switches With PoE

This Fast Ethernet Desktop switch enables connection of up to five end devices via twisted pair cables (10/100Base-TX). An additional fiber optic port enables direct connection to a fiber optic segment according to 100Base-FX. Network management functions are a permanent part of the equipment. In addition to the configuration of VLANs, data prioritisation (QoS) or the power management for PoE, the device can also be monitored. Access is made via normal standards such as Web, Telnet or SNMP. The switch is also supported by the NMP software. The special feature of this equipment is that it is optionally available with an integrated Power-over-Ethernet function. While four of the five RJ-45 ports enable supply of PoE end equipment according to IEEE 802.3af (PSE – Power Source Equipment), the switch itself can be supplied with Power-over-Ethernet via the fifth port (PD – Powered Device). Therefore an additional power supply for the switch is not necessary. The PoE version can be equipped with an external as well as with an internal power supply unit.
