The INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Po E Office Switch, Model 502917, is equipped with eight 10/100 BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports, all of which support 802.3af Power over Ethernet (Po E). Besides being a versatile network LAN switch, it also provides a Power over Ethernet option that supplies power injection into 802.3af-compliant devices, such as IP phones, wireless access points & network cameras. Power over Ethernet 802.3af The Po E Office Switch has eight 10/100 Base-TX ports that support the 802.3af protocol & is designed to inject up to 15.4 Watts per port. Any device that is 802.3af compliant can be attached to the switch, & no additional power will be required to support the attached device. This eliminates the time & expense of electrical power rewiring & minimizes the clutter of power supplies & adapters in awkward places such as ceilings & walls. For devices that are not 802.3af compliant, use the Po E Splitter* to send power through the Ethernet cabling to your older wireless access points or network cameras. Optimum Performance Besides providing 802.3af Power over Ethernet functionality, the Po E Office Switch also has some very impressive features as a switch. For starters the auto features of this switch make installation Plug & Play & hassle free. No configuration is required. Auto-MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables for connection to another switch or hub. Auto-Negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10 or 100) & intelligently adjusts for compatibility & optimal performance. 10/100 auto-sensing ports automatically detect optimal network speeds IEEE 802.3af-compliant RJ45 PSE/ Po E output ports Power output up to 15.4 Watts per port All RJ45 ports with Auto-MDIX (auto uplink) support Supports NWay auto-negotiation Supports 8 VLAN groups, port-based & tagged VLAN support Supports Quality of Service (Qo S), port-based & tagged with 2 priority levels Supports bandwidth control per port Supports MAC address locking per port Broadcast storm control enable/disable Store & forward switching architecture Full/half duplex operation IEEE 802.3x flow control for full duplex Zero packet loss back-pressure flow control for half duplex Packet filtering/forwarding rates: 148, 800 pps (100 Mbps), 14, 880 pps (10 Mbps) Supports 4096 MAC address entries 128 k Bytes buffer memory Desktop-size metal case LEDs for power, link/activity & Po E
