Unmanaged Switch PLANET IP30 Industrial 8-Port

The PLANET WGS-818HP is an unmanaged industrial 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with integrated 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) injection. Housed in a compact IP30 metal case, it is designed for wall mounting or installation in a wall enclosure. The switch provides eight Gigabit RJ-45 ports, a total PoE budget of 60/120 watts, and reliable operation across an extended temperature range, making it suitable for industrial and building network deployments.

Advantages

The WGS-818HP delivers gigabit connectivity and PoE+ power in a rugged, space-saving metal housing suitable for industrial environments. Its unmanaged design requires no configuration for straightforward deployment, while IEEE 802.3at/af compliance ensures compatibility with a wide range of PoE-powered devices. The switch supports stable operation over a wide temperature range and can be mounted on walls or placed in enclosures for flexible installation.

Suitable for

• IP surveillance systems (IP cameras)
• Wireless access point deployments
• Building and home automation networks
• Internet of Things (IoT) device connectivity

How to use

Mount the WGS-818HP on a wall or install it inside a compatible wall enclosure. Connect network devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports using standard Ethernet cables. Attach PoE-powered devices such as IP cameras or wireless access points to the switch’s PoE ports; the switch will supply power automatically to IEEE 802.3at/af compliant devices. Connect an appropriate power source to the switch and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm operation.

Recommendations

For reliable PoE delivery, calculate total power requirements of connected devices and ensure they do not exceed the switch’s PoE budget (60/120 W). Use quality Cat5e or higher cabling and keep the switch in a ventilated location within the specified temperature range for optimal performance.
