PoE Switches with SFP Uplink
Quick answer
A PoE switch with SFP uplink carries the camera traffic back to the core over fibre instead of copper. That is the answer when the run exceeds 100 m, crosses between buildings or shares a duct where copper cannot go. 13 models here have one or two 1000Base-X slots; the SFP module itself is matched to the fibre and distance, not to the switch.
The SFP slot does one job: it lets the switch leave the building on fibre. Everything about it follows from that — which fibre, how far, and whether one link is enough for the cameras on the unit.
The 13 models here cover 65–400 W across 4 to 24 powered ports, with one or two 1000Base-X SFP slots alongside the copper uplinks. Access speed and port count are otherwise the same choice as on any other page in this range.

How to choose
- Decide what the fibre is for. A backhaul to the core, a link to another building, or a run to a remote cabinet. All three use the SFP slot; they differ in module, distance and how many links you want.
- One slot or two. Two slots let the unit uplink to two places, or provide a redundant path — the second link is the usual reason to take a 24+2+2 model over a 24+2+1.
- Match the module to the fibre. 1000Base-X is the port; single-mode or multi-mode, 10 km or 550 m, duplex or BiDi are properties of the module. Tell us the fibre you have and the module is quoted with the switch.
- The SFP port does not power anything. PoE comes from the copper access ports only. A camera cannot be powered through the fibre.
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.

SFP, SFP+ and 10G: what this range covers
Every SFP slot in this range is 1000Base-X — 1 Gbps fibre, the standard backbone speed for a camera site. It is enough for the aggregate of a 24-port unit at 4 Mbps per camera by a wide margin, and it is the format that matches the fibre patch panels and media converters most sites already have.
SFP+ (10 Gbps) and 2.5G multi-gigabit ports are a different hardware tier and are not part of this range. Where a project specifies 10G uplinks, say so in the enquiry and we will tell you what is available rather than relabel a 1G product.
| Port on the switch | Speed | Typical use on a camera site |
|---|---|---|
| 1000Base-X SFP | 1 Gbps | Backhaul to the core, building-to-building link, remote cabinet |
| 10/100/1000Base-T uplink | 1 Gbps | Short copper path to an NVR or an adjacent switch |
| 10/100Base-T uplink | 100 Mbps | Local NVR on a small unit where the cameras total well under 100 Mbps |
The module is not part of the switch and is not included. Send the fibre type — single-mode or multi-mode — and the distance, and the right module is quoted with the unit.
When an SFP uplink is the cheaper answer
The alternative to fibre is repeating copper. A PoE extender adds a device and a power point every 100 m, and each hop costs a little margin. Fibre skips all of that: one run, no intermediate hardware, and no earth potential difference between two buildings.
For a link that stays inside one building and under 100 m, copper is cheaper and simpler. The SFP slot earns its place at the building boundary, at the far end of a site, and anywhere a lightning strike on a copper link between two buildings would be a real risk.
Frequently asked
What does the SFP port on a PoE switch do?
It carries the network uplink over fibre rather than copper. On a camera site that means the switch can sit near the cameras and still reach the core across a distance or a building boundary that twisted-pair cannot cross.
Is the SFP module included?
No. The switch has the empty 1000Base-X slot; the module depends on the fibre type and distance, so it is quoted separately once we know what the site has installed.
Can I use the SFP port and the copper uplinks at the same time?
Yes on the 4+2+1, 8+2+1, 16+2+1 and 24+2+2 models — the copper uplinks stay available for a local NVR while the SFP slot carries the backhaul. Models with a single copper uplink plus SFP (the 4+1+1 format) offer one of the two, not both at the same time on the copper pair.
Does the SFP port deliver PoE?
No. PoE is delivered on the copper access ports only. A camera on the far side of the fibre needs its own powered switch or an injector at that end.
Is 1 Gbps fibre enough for 24 cameras?
Yes for typical camera bitrates: 24 cameras at 4 Mbps is under 100 Mbps of live traffic, and even 4K streams at 16 Mbps each total under 400 Mbps. Playback and firmware traffic share that link, but 1 Gbps leaves a lot of headroom.
What is the difference between SFP and SFP+?
Speed and port cost. SFP here is 1000Base-X (1 Gbps); SFP+ is 10 Gbps and is a different hardware tier that this range does not cover. If your design calls for 10G uplinks, tell us — do not assume the SFP slot is 10G.
