Features

16 x 10/100/1000M PoE ports and 2 x Gigabit SFP Uplink ports.
Complies with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3z, and 802.3x standards.
Supports port auto-flip (Auto MDI/MDIX).
1U 19-inch rack installation design.

Operating Modes

The switch features a physical switch to toggle between three modes:

VLAN: Port isolation mode. PoE ports (1-16) cannot communicate with each other and can only communicate with the uplink port.
Default: Normal mode. All ports can communicate with each other; transmission distance is within 100 meters.
Extend: Link extension mode. Ports 9-16 PoE power and data transmission distance can be extended to 250 meters, with the transmission rate limited to 10M.

LED Indicators

PWR: Indicates power status (Lighting: Powered, Un-Light: No Power).
1-18 ACT (Link&Data): Indicates connection status (Lighting: Connecting, Flashing: Data Transmit, Un-Light: Disconnect).
1-18 1000M (Link): Indicates speed (Lighting: 1000M, Un-Light: 10/100M).

Practical help

Common problems

No power indicator

Check if the power cord is securely connected to the AC outlet and the switch.

Data not transmitting

Check the ACT LED. If unlit, the device is disconnected. Ensure the cable is within the 100m limit (or 250m in Extend mode).

Slow network speed in Extend mode

Extend mode limits transmission rate to 10M to achieve 250m distance. Switch to Default mode for 1000M speeds.

Before use

Verify power source is AC 100-240V.
Ensure rack space is available for 1U 19-inch installation.
Use Cat5 or above UTP cables for 1000Base-TX connections.
Check if SFP modules are compatible with the fiber type (Multimode or Single mode).
Set the mode switch (VLAN/Default/Extend) according to your network requirements before powering on.

Specs in practice

PoE Protocol: Supports IEEE 802.3af (up to 15.4W) and 802.3at (up to 30W) per port.
Switching Capacity: The total bandwidth capacity of the switch is 36Gbps.

Images and diagrams

The front panel features 16 PoE ports, 2 SFP ports, and a mode selector switch for VLAN, Default, and Extend modes.

Model compatibility

10Base-T: Cat3, 4, 5 or above UTP (<=100m).
100Base-TX: Cat5 or above UTP (<=100m).
1000Base-TX: Cat5 or above UTP (<=100m).
Fiber: Supports Multimode (50/125, 62.5/125, 100/140μm) and Single mode (8/125, 8.7/125, 9/125, 10/125μm).
