8-Port PoE Switches
Quick answer
An 8-port PoE switch powers 7–8 fixed cameras or 3–4 PTZ heads on a 120 W budget. At 6 W per dome the budget is never the limit; at 25 W per PTZ it caps you at three with the reserve kept. All seven models carry 8 powered ports plus two copper uplinks, and three of them add an SFP slot for a fibre run.
Eight powered ports is the floor-by-floor size: one switch per floor, one uplink to the riser, cameras in the ceiling void. It is also the size where the power budget starts to matter, because eight 802.3at devices can exceed a small supply.
The 7 models here cover 100M and gigabit access, 120 W budgets, and uplink arrangements from two copper ports to copper plus SFP.

How to choose
- Budget before port count. At eight ports the difference between a small and a large supply is the difference between eight domes and three PTZ heads.
- Uplink to the riser. If the run back to the core passes 100 m or crosses buildings, take an SFP model rather than adding an extender later.
- PoE class mix. Most floors mix fixed domes (af) with a PTZ or two (at); the pooled budget handles the mix, but the worst case has to fit.
- Fanless matters in a ceiling void. All models in this size are fanless; keep the mounting position clear of insulation.
How many devices will each model actually power?
Calculated from the published budget of each model with a 20% reserve kept for PoE start-up surge, IR load at night and ageing. The figure is capped by the powered-port count, so it never promises more devices than there are ports. Budgets are pooled — one 25 W PTZ takes what several 6 W domes would.

Frequently asked
How many cameras can an 8-port switch power?
Eight ports minus whatever the uplink takes, subject to the 120 W budget. Eight domes at 6 W is 48 W and comfortable; eight PTZ at 25 W needs 200 W and does not fit any model in this size. The capacity table above shows the number per model at four device sizes.
One 8-port or two 4-port switches?
One 8-port is simpler — single power feed, single uplink, one device to manage. Two 4-port units are useful when the cameras sit in two physically separate places, since cable runs are usually the expensive part.
Does an 8-port switch need a cabinet?
Not necessarily. These are wall-mountable fanless units; the requirement is a dry, ventilated position with mains power, not a full rack.
What does the SFP port on an 8-port switch do?
It carries the uplink back to the core over fibre instead of copper — the usual answer when the run exceeds 100 m or leaves the building. The SFP module itself is not part of the switch; the port is 1000Base-X and takes a standard module matched to the fibre type and distance.
What is the difference between the 8-port models?
Access speed (100M or 10/100/1000Base-T), uplink arrangement (two copper, or two copper plus one SFP slot) and whether the VLAN isolation switch is fitted. Every figure is in the comparison table above.
Will an 8-port PoE switch run a wireless access point?
Yes — that is the second most common use after cameras. A ceiling AP typically draws 8–15 W, so one switch covers 6–8 APs on the 120 W budget, and the same cable carries the backhaul.
How far can the cameras be from an 8-port switch?
100 m of cable per powered port is the channel limit for Ethernet over twisted pair, and PoE does not extend it. Past that, a PoE extender repeats the link, or an SFP uplink moves the switch closer to the cameras.
