LevelOne 5-portový Gigabit PoE switch, 802.3at/af PoE, 4 PoE výstupy, 60W

The LevelOne GEP-0523 is a compact Gigabit Ethernet switch with five ports: four Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports and one uplink port. Each PoE port can supply up to 30W and the switch has a total PoE budget of 60W, making it suitable for mixed deployments of PoE and non-PoE devices in small offices and homes. The switch supports IEEE 802.3at/af detection and delivers data and power over a single cable to compatible devices.

Advantages

The GEP-0523 combines Gigabit performance with PoE capability, allowing connection of PoE IP phones, Wi‑Fi access points and IP cameras without separate power supplies. Its store-and-forward switching, packet error filtering and non-blocking forwarding ensure stable high-speed LAN performance. Auto-negotiation and 802.3x flow control provide compatibility and reliable operation in mixed duplex and speed environments. Front-panel LEDs simplify monitoring and fault detection.

Key specifications

• Ports: 5 total (4 PoE ports + 1 uplink)
• PoE standard: IEEE 802.3at/af detection
• PoE power per port: up to 30 W
• Total PoE budget: 60 W
• Data rate: Gigabit Ethernet
• Switching: store-and-forward architecture
• Flow control: 802.3x (full and half duplex)
• Auto-negotiation: N-Way Auto Negotiation
• LED indicators: status and port activity LEDs for monitoring

How to use

Install the GEP-0523 on a flat surface or in a compact rack area near your network equipment and connect the uplink port to your router or upstream switch using a Cat5e/6 cable. Connect PoE devices (IP phones, Wi‑Fi APs, cameras) to the four PoE ports; compatible devices will be detected automatically and receive power and data over the same cable. Monitor port and system LEDs to verify link status and activity. For optimal performance, ensure connected devices do not exceed the total PoE budget of 60 W.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, plan power allocation so the sum of PoE requirements of connected devices stays within the 60 W budget. Use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables and place the switch in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources. Regularly check LEDs to detect connection or power issues early.
