Six real deployment scenarios matched to this model's actual datasheet specifications.
8-Camera PoE Backbone For One Recorder8 PoE-enabled downlink ports (1-8) plus a dedicated uplink pair power and connect a full 8-channel camera kit through a single switch — plug straight into an 8-channel NVR without splitting cabling across two devices.
Priority Ports Protect Your Two Most Critical CamerasPorts 1-2 carry PoE power priority, so an entrance camera or a critical asset feed on those ports keeps drawing power first if total demand approaches the 88 W budget — put your must-not-lose camera there.
250 m EXTEND Reach For the Farthest Camera on SiteFlip the rear-panel switch to EXTEND (surveillance mode) and push power plus data up to 250 m — well past the standard 100 m Ethernet limit — for a gate, driveway or perimeter camera set apart from the rest.
25 mm Slim Metal Body Tucks Into Tight SpacesAt 171×103×25 mm and 0.29 kg, the all-metal fanless housing is thin enough to mount behind a monitor, inside a shallow cabinet or on a wall bracket where a taller 10-port switch won't fit.
NDAA-Compliant Pick for Government & Public-Sector BidsNDAA compliance lets integrators quote this switch into US federal, municipal and other public-sector tenders that require Section 889-compliant network hardware.
Silent 94 W Draw Beside a Desk or Reception Counter0 cooling fans and a 94 W max power draw keep the unit silent enough for a front-desk cabinet, reception counter or open-plan office where camera and PoE gear normally hide in a rack.
