When choosing a PoE switch, many users are prone to fall into the error of "brand=price", but what really determines the product positioning is the matching degree between the practicality of its specifications and configuration and its performance. As a manufacturer deeply engaged in the communication field, we have always taken technical parameters as the anchor point to build a full range of PoE switch products covering entry to high-end. More importantly, the full range of products support deep customization and OEM cooperation, so that every customer can find cost-effective solutions that meet their own needs.
1、 Entry level PoE switch: the price/performance choice of pragmatism
The entry-level PoE switch is not a "low configuration", but a "precise adaptation" tailored for small scenes. Its core advantages lie in its simplicity, stability and convenient deployment, which perfectly matches the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, home offices and simple security monitoring.
1. Specification and configuration: focus on basic requirements and simplify operation threshold
Port design: Mainly 4-24 port gigabit RJ45 ports, some models are equipped with 1-2 SFP optical fiber interfaces to meet simple uplink expansion, without the need for complex port combinations to increase costs. For example, the entry-level model for small office scenarios is equipped with 8 PoE power supply ports+1 Gigabit SFP interface, which can not only connect basic equipment such as printers and IP phones, but also expand network coverage through optical fiber interfaces.
Power supply standard: the mainstream supports IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) and IEEE 802.3at (30W) dual protocol adaption, which can automatically match the power demand of power receiving equipment to avoid power waste or shortage. The total power supply is concentrated at 50-200W, which is enough to support the simultaneous operation of less than 10 low-power devices, such as static IP cameras, basic wireless APs, etc.
Management function: mainly based on unmanaged or basic network management, it supports plug and play, port isolation, video monitoring mode and other practical functions, without professional IT staff configuration, and zero continuous maintenance cost. Some models can realize basic monitoring through simple Web interface or mobile APP to balance ease of use and management requirements.
2. Performance: stability first, meeting daily data transmission
The forwarding rate is gigabit, and the packet forwarding rate is more than 10Mpps. It can smoothly support high-definition video monitoring stream, VoIP voice call and other daily services, and avoid packet loss due to stuck packets.
High efficiency power circuit design, combined with linear regulator technology, ensures stable power supply voltage, low ripple noise, and meets the requirements of centralized power supply for equipment in small scenes.
The cooling structure is simple and efficient, optimized for low load scenarios, and low power consumption, meeting the energy saving needs of small and medium-sized enterprises.
2、 High end PoE switch: technical upgrading, supporting complex scenario enabling
High end PoE switches face complex scenarios such as enterprise parks, large data centers, and intelligent buildings. Their core value lies in their strong expansion capability, redundancy design, and intelligent management. Through the dual upgrade of specifications and performance, they can meet the challenges of high-density device access and high load business.
1. Specification and configuration: comprehensively advanced, adapt to complex requirements
Ports and expansion: the port density is increased to 24-48 ports, with more than 4 SFP/SFP+interfaces, supporting 10GbE uplink, and meeting the requirements of large-scale equipment access and high-speed data transmission. Some high-end models support port aggregation and hot plug functions to ensure continuity during network expansion.
Power supply standard: upgraded to IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) standard, the single port power can reach 100W at most, and the total power supply can exceed 370W, which can directly supply power for PTZ cameras, video conference systems, LED lighting and even laptops. At the same time, it is compatible with the previous generation PoE/PoE+equipment to protect customers' existing investment.
Management and security: It supports full function network management, including IPv6, VLAN division, DHCP Snooping, 802.1X authentication and other advanced functions, and can realize remote monitoring, policy configuration and troubleshooting through the cloud platform or local GUI. Built in intelligent power management algorithm can dynamically allocate power supply resources according to equipment priority, cooperate with over-current and over-voltage protection mechanisms, and improve network reliability.
2. Performance: Extremely stable, unleashing business potential
The forwarding performance has improved by leaps and bounds. The packet forwarding rate has reached more than 50Mpps, and the delay is controlled at the microsecond level. It can support high-intensity business scenarios such as multi link concurrent transmission and big data throughput.
With low-power chipset and optimized cooling design, combined with intelligent energy-saving technologies such as EnergyWise, it can still maintain low-power operation under high load and reduce long-term use costs.
With redundant power supply and hot backup functions, even if a single power module fails, it can also be quickly switched to ensure uninterrupted power supply, meeting the enterprise level high reliability requirements.
3、 Full series support customized production, OEM cooperation flexible adaptation
We always believe that "there is no best product, only the most suitable solution", regardless of the simple requirements of entry level or the complex configuration of high-end models. Based on years of technology accumulation, our whole series of PoE switches can provide in-depth customization services:
Hardware customization: adjust the number of ports, power supply, interface type (such as increasing optical ports, expanding the proportion of PoE++ports), and even optimize the cooling structure to adapt to the special installation environment according to customer needs;
Function customization: flexible addition and reduction of management function modules, such as customized monitoring interface, exclusive power supply strategy, industry adaptation mode (such as education, medical special network configuration);
OEM cooperation: support brand customization, firmware personalized development, packaging design and other full process services, provide one-stop solutions from research and development to production, and help customers quickly launch their own brand products.
We have abandoned the "one size fits all" model of standardized products, so that every customer can get a PoE switch solution that fits their own scenarios at a reasonable price. Whether you need a small deployment of less than 10 units or a batch purchase of thousands of units, we can meet your personalized needs through customization and OEM services.
Conclusion: Take technology as the ruler and customization as the wing
The essence of the price range of PoE switches is the value mapping of specification configuration and performance performance - the entry level focuses on "enough and easy to use", and high-end computers pursue "powerful and reliable". Our core advantage is to provide customers with flexible choices of "customization on demand" within the full value range.
