LevelOne 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch, 802.3at/af PoE, 123,2 W

The LevelOne GEP-0821 is an 8-port Gigabit PoE switch that delivers data and power over a single Ethernet cable according to IEEE 802.3af/at standards. It provides eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports with PoE+ support, a total PoE power budget of 123.2 W and up to 30 W per port. The switch supports 9K jumbo frames, full-duplex transmission, an 8K MAC address table and a 16 Gbit/s switching capacity, and comes with a 19-inch rackmount kit for straightforward installation in small business networks.

Advantages

The GEP-0821 simplifies deployment by supplying both power and data over the same cable to compatible devices and protects against non-standard PoE devices. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) compliance reduces power consumption during low utilization periods. Hardware features such as IEEE 802.3x flow control, 9K jumbo frame support and an 8K MAC table help maintain reliable network performance for connected IP cameras, wireless access points and other PoE devices.

Suitable for

• IP cameras and surveillance systems
• Wireless access points and small Wi‑Fi deployments
• VoIP phones and small office network devices
• Compact rack-mounted network installations for small businesses

How to use

Install the GEP-0821 in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a flat surface. Connect each PoE-capable device to the RJ-45 ports using Cat5e or higher cables to deliver both power and data. Ensure the combined power draw of connected devices does not exceed the total PoE budget of 123.2 W; the switch negotiates per-port power up to 30 W according to IEEE 802.3af/at. For non-PoE devices, use the ports as standard Gigabit Ethernet connections.
