UP-228GE switches enable a high level of performance as well as POE+ capabilities. With auto negotiation on every 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 port, the switch provides higher bandwidth links for related equipment. This switch combines high-level integration design, small form-factor, ease-of-use, all that is suitable for security monitoring systems and Wi-Fi access points. The UP-228GE model is intended for simple, cost-effective, standard, or high-performance network applications. It is the ideal choice to improve a work group’s productivity. PoE features are supported for IEEE 802.3at-compliant class 4 powered devices (PD), UP-228GE switches automatically detect each PD’s power consumption and deliver up to 30 watts over Cat 5,6 cables with 25.5 watts available to devices. The switch tracks its power budget (PoE budget) of 140W and grants power only when it is available. PoE is a technology that delivers both data connection and electric power to devices over a single Ethernet cable. This allows the use UP-228GE for a broad range of devices and applications such as Wi-Fi access points, IP cameras, IP phones, etc. It also provides an opportunity of setting up network equipment without having to connect to AC power. LED indicators on the front panel show ports and system operating status allowing for clear real-time diagnostics and troubleshooting of network failures if any occur.
