Key Considerations

• PoE Budget: Ensure the total PoE power meets the requirements of all connected devices.
• Fiber Uplink: Check SFP port speed (1G or 100M) and compatibility with your fiber modules.
• Management: Managed switches offer VLAN, QoS, and monitoring, while unmanaged switches are plug-and-play.
• Distance: Some switches support long-distance PoE over twisted pair, useful for IP cameras beyond 100 meters. These switches provide a combination of eight PoE ports and at least one optical fiber uplink, suitable for security, enterprise, or campus networks.
