Amer 5 Port Gigabit with 4 Port PoE+ Range Extend Unmanaged Switch

The Amer SG4P1TE is a compact, plug‑and‑play unmanaged switch that brings robust Gigabit networking together with powerful PoE+ capabilities. Designed for small offices, retail spaces, classrooms, and security deployments, this 5‑port device delivers four high‑power PoE+ ports and one standard port, all in a compact enclosure that fits neatly on a desk, shelf, or wall mount. With a total PoE budget of 60W, you can power IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE devices directly from the switch, reducing cable clutter and eliminating the need for multiple power adapters. The Range Extend feature enhances deployment flexibility, enabling you to place devices at practical distances while maintaining reliable connectivity and sufficient power. Built for reliability, ease of use, and performance, the SG4P1TE is an ideal choice when you need dependable networking without complicated configuration.

• Power‑over‑Ethernet on four ports: Four PoE+ ports deliver up to 60W total PoE budget, allowing you to power high‑demand devices such as IP cameras, APs, and VoIP phones directly from the switch.
• Gigabit performance across all ports: Each port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps with auto‑negotiation, ensuring fast data transfer, smooth video, and responsive network activity for everyday business applications.
• Unmanaged, plug‑and‑play design: No complex setup or management required—just connect devices and go. This makes it perfect for instant network expansion in busy workspaces, classrooms, or retail environments.
• Flexible port operation for mixed deployments: Manually configure each PoE+ port to support either standard Ethernet distances of up to 100m at 10/100/1000 Mbps or set to 10 Mbps to accommodate unique installation needs and extended reach scenarios.
• Compact, durable enclosure for real‑world use: A compact form factor, quiet operation, and sturdy construction suit under‑desk installation, wall mounting, or placement in a network cabinet without crowding other equipment.

Technical Details of Amer 5 Port Gigabit with 4 Port PoE+ Range Extend Unmanaged Switch

• Form Factor: Compact, versatile design suitable for desktop, wall‑mount, or cabinet installation to fit constrained spaces.

How to install Amer 5 Port Gigabit with 4 Port PoE+ Range Extend Unmanaged Switch

• Step 1: Place the switch in a convenient location near your network backbone and edge devices. Ensure there is a stable surface or mounting option that keeps cables tidy and accessible.
• Step 2: Connect the uplink or upstream device (such as a router, gateway, or another switch) to the non‑PoE port with a Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable for reliable data transmission.
• Step 3: Connect your PoE devices (cameras, APs, VoIP phones, etc.) to the four PoE+ ports using Cat5e/Cat6 cables. Each PoE+ port will deliver data and power to the connected device, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
• Step 4: Power the switch. If your model uses an external power supply, plug the power adapter into a suitable outlet. In setups where PoE power is supplied through the upstream device or a PoE injector, ensure proper cabling and safety as per device guidelines.
• Step 5: Power on the devices and verify link indicators. Because this is an unmanaged switch, there is no software configuration required—your connected devices should immediately establish network connections with the appropriate speeds.
• Step 6: Observe the PoE status and activity LEDs to confirm power delivery to each PoE+ port. If a connected device does not power on, recheck cable connections and verify that the device is compatible with PoE/PoE+ and within the switch’s 60W total budget.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What devices can be powered by the PoE+ ports?
  A: The four PoE+ ports are designed to power a range of PoE‑enabled devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE devices within a 60W total budget. Check device power requirements to ensure compatibility with the switch’s budget.

• Q: Do I need any special software or configuration to use this switch?
  A: No. This is an unmanaged switch, so there is no software to install or configuration required. Simply connect your devices and they will negotiate their speeds automatically.

• Q: What is the maximum cable length for PoE devices on this switch?
  A: The standard Ethernet distance supported is up to 100 meters per port. This applies to both data and PoE delivery within typical office or campus installations.

• Q: Can I expand my network beyond five ports with this switch?
  A: Yes. This switch can be integrated into a larger network with additional switches or routers. Use the non‑PoE port to connect to upstream equipment and extend your network further as needed.

• Q: Is 60W enough for my PoE devices?
  A: It depends on the power requirements of the connected devices. IP cameras, access points, and phones typically draw a portion of the total budget. If you plan to power multiple high‑wattage devices simultaneously, verify each device’s PoE consumption and consider overall load to ensure it stays within the 60W total budget.
