PEOVG – G10402POE-AT
What’s in the box? Switch unit Power adapter Instructions
The G10402POE-AT is a six ports full Gigabit PoE switch, designed for the application of high definition network security surveillance systems.
The PoE switch provides 4 Gigabit downlink PoE ports support 802.3at and 2 Gigabit uplink ports. The total PoE power output is up to 120 watts. It’s reported to be widely used in with security monitoring systems, communications, transportation and multimedia network teaching systems.
Getting started
The instruction info is basic and only provides an overview of the switches output and input requirements. The switch is unmanaged, so requires next to no set-up other than connecting it to its power adapter.
Performance
The switch worked well and provides a more than suitable 120W worth of output – meaning that you are able to power multiple Security and 3rd party products from this switch without any concerns. It provides 6 full gigabit ports – 4 of which are Gigabit download POE ports and 2 Gigabit upload ports which had shown to transfer data quickly and without and issues or data loss.
The switch had an array of Surveillance and IT equipment connected to it during testing, as well as being the middle ground between 2 additional 8 way POE switches connected back to an NVR.
Pros:
•Compact •Easily Installed •Dual Gigabit Upload Ports •High Watt Output
Cons:
•Similar to others in the price range •Very large PSU required for the unit – this will be difficult to hide
Conclusion
The switch and provided power adapter is very well constructed. The aluminium frame provides a strong base and the blue Perspex accents make the overall appearance look good. The Ports themselves are solid and do not provide any “wiggle” or loose behaviour.
This product can be used for most network applications within the Fire and Security Sector –primarily a CCTV and Video surveillance application due to its high wattage output and data transfer rates. It is also very compact and would not be out of place among other standard IT equipment.
Overall, the product works well. It is a nice looking switch that is compact and versatile. The biggest issue with it is the oversized 2.5A, 52V power adapter – you better hope that this is not stored on a desktop and in a cabinet instead. It is a high performing un-managed switch for its price range, and will find no problem powering and communicating with multiple high wattage POE devices at the same time.
