Inscape Data Corporation LinkPower 2008AF 8 Port Gigabit PoE network switch

Eight-port Gigabit PoE switch

The Inscape Data LinkPower 2008AF delivers eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet. Each port supplies up to 15.4 W and the total PoE budget is 120 W. The unmanaged Layer 2 design means plug-and-play deployment with no configuration required. A metal chassis and built-in power supply fit a standard 1U rackmount footprint.

Best for simple PoE deployments

This switch suits installers who need to power IP cameras, wireless access points or VoIP phones without separate injectors. It also works for small offices that want silent, fanless operation in a rack. Buyers who need VLAN segmentation, port mirroring or SNMP management should look at a managed alternative. Networks that require more than 15.4 W per device or a larger aggregate PoE budget will exceed the available power headroom.

120 W total PoE budget

The 120 W pool comfortably runs eight Class 3 devices at full 15.4 W simultaneously. Jumbo frames up to 9600 bytes help with large video or image transfers. Quality of Service prioritisation keeps latency-sensitive traffic flowing. The switch runs out of headroom when more than eight powered devices are attached or when any single device demands more than the 15.4 W per-port limit.
