⚡ At a Glance
- • Power Delivery: Four PoE ports supplying up to 30W per port with a 52W total budget
- • Best for: Small CCTV systems and wireless access point deployments needing extended reach
- • Not ideal for: Networks requiring gigabit backhaul or advanced managed switch features
Four 100Mbps PoE ports plus one uplink port, total PoE budget 52W. AI mode extends data and power transmission from 100 metres to 250 metres with surge protection included.
Long-distance PoE for remote cameras – Thanks to AI 250 metres extend function
AI mode detects link conditions and switches ports into an ultra-long-distance mode, allowing Ethernet power and data to travel up to 250 metres (820 ft) at reduced throughput, with the description noting a 10Mbps mode for the longest runs.
Remote cameras and access points can be placed where mains power is unavailable, reducing the need for local power sources or additional cabling. Ideal for extending surveillance to outbuildings or large properties.
Stable power delivery and surge protection – With 4kV lightning protection and 52W budget
Four PoE ports support 802.3af/at and can supply up to 30W per port within a shared 52W budget, while two-level 4kV lightning protection guards ports and the power input against cable surges.
PoE cameras receive consistent power while the protection layers reduce the risk of damage from electrical storms, helping to keep monitoring systems online and lowering maintenance visits.
Simplified uptime management – With AI Watchdog port monitoring and auto-restart
AI Watchdog monitors data and electrical transmission on PoE ports and automatically restarts any port that shows abnormal behaviour, performing automated recovery without manual intervention.
Faulty camera connections can be recovered remotely by automatic port restarts, cutting downtime and saving time for installers and site managers.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the switch power passive PoE devices?
A: When a passive PoE device or a non‑PoE device is connected, the switch will transmit data but will not supply power; such devices require separate power or an active PoE splitter.
Q: How far can PoE reach with the AI extend function enabled?
A: AI mode can extend power and data transmission from the standard 100 metres to a maximum of 250 metres (820 ft), with an ultra‑long‑distance mode noted at around 10Mbps.
Q: Can the uplink port connect to an NVR or the Internet?
A: One port is intended as an uplink and is suitable for connection to an NVR or an Internet gateway for centralised recording and network access.
🏆 Our Verdict
Installers and homeowners running small CCTV or wireless access point setups will find the feature set well matched to remote installations. AI extension to 250 metres combined with automatic port watchdog and 4kV surge protection reduces downtime and installation complexity. The mix of reach, protection and automated recovery offers strong value for deployments where reliability and fewer site visits matter.
