Industrial 8-port Gigabit PoE+ switch

The StarTech IES81GPOEW is a Layer 2 managed switch with eight RJ-45 ports, four of which deliver up to 30 W of PoE+ power each. It is built for industrial environments that need both data and power over a single cable. The IP30-rated metal housing operates from -40 to 75 °C.

Sustained load behaviour

A 120 W total PoE budget supports all four powered ports at their maximum 30 W simultaneously. The 512 KB buffer and store-and-forward switching handle 9000-byte jumbo frames without dropping packets under continuous traffic. Dual DC input (12–48 V) with a terminal-block connector keeps the switch running through power fluctuations.

Pre-installation checks

Verify that your cabling uses twisted-pair runs no longer than 100 metres for Gigabit speeds. Confirm the site can supply 12–48 V DC at a minimum of 1 A through a terminal-block connection. Ensure the magnetic or wall-mount location stays within the -40 to 75 °C operating range and 5–95 % non-condensing humidity.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the IES81GPOEW generate when running continuously in a sealed cabinet?

The switch operates from -40 °C to 75 °C without a fan, so heat output stays within the limits of its IP30 metal housing and 12–48 V DC input range.

What power source must I already have to run the switch and deliver 30 W per PoE+ port?

A 12–48 V DC supply capable of at least 1 A input current connected via the terminal-block plug.

Will the 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports auto-negotiate with my older 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices?

Yes, the ports support IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab, so they link at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps with legacy equipment.
