Switch PoE ALLNET 16+2P ALL-SG8418PM – 18 puertos Gigabit, 16 puertos PoE, 2 puertos uplink

The ALLNET 16+2P PoE Switch ALL-SG8418PM is an 18-port Gigabit Layer 2 unmanaged switch designed to deliver simultaneous data and power over Ethernet to network devices. With 16 PoE-enabled ports and two additional Gigabit uplink ports, this switch provides a compact, rack- or shelf-mountable solution for small and medium-sized networks that require reliable connectivity for IP cameras, wireless access points and other PoE-powered endpoints. The switch supports full Gigabit speeds on all ports and simplified plug-and-play operation for quick deployment.

Advantages

The switch combines 16 PoE data/power ports with two separate uplink ports to separate access-edge traffic from backbone connections, reducing network complexity. Unmanaged operation minimizes configuration needs while delivering wire-speed forwarding on Gigabit copper ports. Its integrated PoE capability eliminates the need for separate power injectors for connected devices and supports centralized cabling. The metal chassis and standard form factor allow installation in a variety of locations, and the device provides basic traffic handling suitable for CCTV and WLAN backhaul scenarios.

Suitable for

• Small office or retail networks requiring PoE for IP cameras and wireless access points
• SMB CCTV systems and video surveillance deployments
• Network edge aggregation where two uplinks connect to core switches or routers
• Environments needing simple, plug-and-play Gigabit connectivity with PoE power

Key specifications

• Port count: 18 Gigabit Ethernet ports, including 16 PoE-capable ports and 2 dedicated uplink ports
• Switching capacity: Gigabit wire-speed forwarding on all ports
• PoE capability: Power over Ethernet on 16 ports (power budget depends on model configuration)
• Management: Unmanaged Layer 2 operation for plug-and-play use
• Form factor: Desktop or rack-mountable metal chassis
• Connectivity: Auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX on copper ports

How to use

Place the switch in a ventilated area near your network distribution point and connect it to a power source. Use standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables to connect PoE endpoints such as IP cameras and access points to the 16 PoE ports; the switch will provide data and power over the same cable. Connect one or both uplink ports to your router or core switch to integrate the device into the wider network. As an unmanaged device, no additional configuration is required for basic operation; connected devices will receive link and power automatically when compatible.

Recommendations

Confirm total PoE power requirements of all connected devices and verify the switch power budget before deploying many high-draw devices. Use appropriate cable types (Cat5e or higher) and keep cable runs within recommended Ethernet limits. For surveillance or wireless installations, plan uplink placement to minimize latency and ensure redundant upstream connections where network availability is critical.
