Intellinet Network Solutions 560764 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE+ network switch

8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE+ Switch

The Intellinet Network Solutions 560764 is an eight-port desktop switch that delivers data and electrical power over standard network cabling. Every RJ45 port operates at 10/100 Mbps and supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards. The unit provides a total PoE power budget of 140 watts, allowing up to 30 watts per port for connected devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones and IP cameras. Auto-sensing ports automatically negotiate the optimal link speed for each device.

Suits PoE deployments up to 100 Mbps.

This switch is designed for installers who need to power multiple PoE or PoE+ endpoints from a single desktop unit without running separate power lines. It fits environments where 100 Mbps bandwidth satisfies the application, such as IP surveillance or voice networks. Buyers who require Gigabit Ethernet throughput on any port should consider a different model, as every port on this device is limited to 100 Mbps. The 1.6 Gbps backplane and 160 kByte buffer are sized for Fast Ethernet traffic loads.

140-watt PoE budget across eight ports

The single specification that determines suitability is the 140-watt total PoE power budget shared across all eight ports. Each port can supply up to 30 watts under the 802.3at standard, but the combined draw of all connected devices must stay within the 140-watt limit. Calculate the aggregate power requirement of your access points, cameras or phones before purchase; if the total exceeds this budget, you will need a switch with a higher power capacity or fewer powered devices.
