Get More Speed and Power with 2.5G PoE++

Multi-Gigabit PoE Networking

Why Upgrade to a 2.5G PoE++ Switch?

Modern networks are carrying more traffic and powering more demanding equipment than standard Gigabit switches were designed to handle. Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, PTZ cameras and other high-bandwidth devices can benefit from faster connections, increased PoE capacity and a stronger uplink to the rest of the network.

2.5G Ethernet

Increase edge bandwidth beyond standard Gigabit speeds.

Up to 90W PoE++

Power demanding compatible devices through the network cable.

10G

10G SFP+ Uplink

Move combined network traffic upstream with more capacity.

More Bandwidth at the Network Edge

Standard Gigabit Ethernet supports speeds up to 1 Gbps, while 2.5G Ethernet provides up to 2.5 times more bandwidth.

This additional capacity helps reduce bottlenecks for devices that generate or receive large amounts of data, especially when multiple users, video streams or wireless connections are active at once.

Backward-compatible connectivity: Existing 10/100/1000 Mbps equipment can remain connected while compatible devices operate at higher speeds.

More Power for Demanding Devices

PoE++ can deliver up to 90W per supported port, making it suitable for equipment that requires more power than standard PoE or PoE+ can provide.

📶 Wi-Fi Access Points

Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 deployments

📹 IP Surveillance

PTZ and high-resolution cameras

📡 Wireless Bridges

High-power network links

🖥️ Digital Systems

Signage, thin clients and powered endpoints

Power and data travel through the same Ethernet cable, helping simplify installations where electrical outlets may be limited or difficult to access.

10G

Why the 10G Uplink Matters

As several 2.5G devices transmit data simultaneously, a standard 1G uplink can become a bottleneck.

The 10G SFP+ uplink provides a higher-capacity connection to a core switch, server, network video recorder or storage system.

Why it matters: Combined traffic from multiple access points, cameras or other devices can move upstream without being restricted through a slower 1G connection.

Which Model Fits Your Installation?

Choose the 6-Port Model

Best for smaller, focused installations with up to four powered devices, including compact offices, limited camera deployments or a small group of wireless access points.

Choose the 9-Port Model

Best for growing wireless, surveillance and commercial networks that require more powered connections, a larger PoE budget or room for expansion.

Both models provide a practical way to add faster 2.5G connectivity, high-power PoE++ and a 10G uplink without moving to a larger or more complex managed-switch deployment.
