The Intellinet Network Solutions® PoE-Powered 5-Port Gigabit Switch with PoE Passthrough is designed to take power from a PoE switch and pass both data and electrical power to several PoE-compatible devices via standard CAT-5E or CAT-6 network cables. Equipped with 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this switch can power up to 4 wireless LAN access points and bridges, VoIP phones, or IP video cameras, draw its own power from the PoE switch it is connected to, and deliver network speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps. When you connect the PD port (port 1) to a PoE+ enabled IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE switch, the Intellinet Network Solutions PoE Passthrough Switch uses some of the electric current to power itself and passes the available surplus power to up to 4 PoE edge devices, such as VoIP phones, allowing you to realize the full potential of each of the PSE ports in your data center. The Intellinet Network Solutions® PoE Passthrough Switch supports the IEEE 802.3at protocol and is designed to inject up to 25 watts of power per port. For devices that are not 802.3at/af compliant (legacy wireless access points or network cameras), the use of an Intellinet Network Solutions PoE/PoE+ Splitter (sold separately) is suggested. Equipped with 5 auto-sensing 10/100/1,000 Mbps RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Intellinet Network Solutions® PoE Switch with PoE Passthrough with its 10 Gbps switch fabric provides plenty of performance for your computers and other networking devices.
