8-Port 10/100 Switch with POE Helps delivers Power Over Ethernet to any small business network that wants to simplify the installation of wireless access points and IP-based surveillance cameras. The eight Fast Ethernet ports can be used for any 10/100Mbps link and four of these ports can supply industry-standard IEEE 802.3af power. Advanced auto-sensing algorithm gives power only to 802.3af end devices, so no need to worry about damaging proprietary PoE or non-PoE equipment. In addition, it discontinues the power when PoE devices are disconnected. Easy and reliable, the ProSafe FS108P automatically determines PoE requirements, speed, duplex, and cable type using AutoUplink.The affordably priced ProSafe FS108P delivers PoE to any small business network that wants to simplify the installation of wireless access points and IP-based surveillance cameras. These devices are optimally installed on a ceiling or high on a wall, away from most electrical outlets. PoE eliminates the requirement for a dedicated electrical outlet to power these devices. This allows for flexibility in situating devices where AC power is difficult to access and lowers installation costs. Compact and flexible, the ProSafe FS108P is ideal for small business network that want to inexpensively use PoE to deploy wireless access points and IP-based network surveillance cameras.Product Features:Choose to plug in up to eight Ethernet or Fast Ethernet devices and mix in up to four 802.3afIP-based devices like wireless access points or IP-based network surveillance cameras. Place these 802.3af-compliant devices where they belong high up on walls and ceiling for maximum coverage or anywhere else you need them. Power and data are carried over standard Cat-5 cabling.The standards-based ProSafe FS108P senses and adjusts for network speed and cabling type automatically,for easy integration into your existing 10/100 Ethernet network. For PoE, the switch automatically detects 802.3af-compliant devices, and supplies power as needed. Front panel LEDs keep you informed of switch and PoE status.Engineered for compact convenience, it features a 9-inch, durable metal case that is easilypositioned on your desktop or a wall, using the included mounting hardware. The fan-less designquietly integrates in your small office environment.With data switching and Power over Ethernet integrated into one unit, the FS108P saves space, reduces cables and eliminates the requirement for dedicated electrical outlets lowering installation costs, simplifying installation of PoE-capable devices, and eliminating the need for electricians or extension cords. All in all a great benefit for a modest price.Product Specifications:Network Ports:- 8 auto speed-sensing 10/100 RJ-45 ports Network Protocol and Standards:- IEEE 802.3i 10BASE-T- IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX- IEEE 802.3x Flow Control- IEEE 802.3af DTE Power via MDIPerformance Specifications:Forwarding modes: Store-and-forward- Bandwidth: 1.6 GbpsNetwork latency: Less than 20 s for 64-byte frames in store-and-forward mode for 100 Mbps to 100 Mbps transmission- Buffer memory: 96 KB embedded memory per unitAddress database size: 1,000 media access control (MAC) addresses per systemAddressing: 48-bit MAC addressMean Time Between Failure (MTBF): 190,000 hours (~ 21 years)Status LEDs:- System: Power, PoE Maximum Power- Per Port: Link, Activity, Speed, PoE Active, PoE Fault.
