Value Brand 24 Port 10/100Mbps PoE+ Switch with 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports 300W network switch

24 PoE+ ports and 2 Gigabit uplinks

This Value Brand switch supplies 24 Fast Ethernet ports with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ and adds two Gigabit uplink ports for backbone connections. Each PoE port delivers up to 30 W and the total PoE budget reaches 300 W. The unit is unmanaged and rack-mountable, so it fits straight into a cabinet without any software setup.

Installers running IP cameras

The 300 W budget and per-port 30 W limit suit clusters of PoE cameras, VoIP phones or wireless APs that stay within Fast Ethernet speeds. An extend mode can push data to 250 m at 10 Mbps for longer cable runs. Buyers who need managed features such as VLANs, QoS or SNMP monitoring should choose a managed model instead.

300 W total PoE budget

The single figure that decides fit is the 300 W PoE power budget across all 24 ports. Add the maximum draw of every powered device you plan to connect; if the sum stays below 300 W the switch will power them all, otherwise you need a higher-budget unit or a second switch.
