Five-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch for Small Networks

The NETGEAR ProSafe YS2041G-P provides five Gigabit RJ45 ports with four supporting IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+. It delivers up to 30W per port within a 78W total power budget. Unmanaged operation requires no configuration, making it suitable for deploying IP cameras, access points or VoIP phones in home or office environments.

VLAN Isolation and Surge Protection

A one-key VLAN mode isolates PoE ports from each other while maintaining uplink communication, improving network security for surveillance setups. Built-in 4kV surge protection guards the switch power supply against lightning risk. The fanless metal enclosure uses bilateral heat dissipation and supports wall or rack mounting for flexible installation.

78W PoE Budget Decides Device Count

The 78W total power budget is the single specification that determines how many PoE+ devices can run simultaneously. At maximum 30W per port, the switch can power two full-power devices or four at lower draw. Buyers needing to power more than two high-wattage endpoints should verify their per-device requirements against this limit.

Questions about this item

What happens when the 78 W PoE budget is fully used by connected devices?

When total power consumption exceeds 80 %, the PWR/MAX LED flashes to indicate the overload condition and protect the switch.

How does the fanless design handle heat during continuous operation?

Bilateral heat dissipation through the metal housing keeps the switch within its wide operating temperature range without a fan.

What is the switching buffer size and does it limit sustained throughput?

The 768 KB buffer and 9216-byte jumbo frame support handle gigabit line-rate forwarding without congestion.
