PoE Switches, 4 to 24 Ports

Quick answer

A PoE switch powers cameras, access points and phones over the same cable that carries their data. This range runs 65–400 W across 4 to 24 powered ports, in unmanaged 100M and gigabit models with copper or 1000Base-X SFP uplinks. Pick the port count first, then the budget — the budget is what the site actually runs out of.

A PoE switch does two jobs on a camera site: it terminates the camera links and it is the power supply for everything on them. The two are easy to confuse, because the port count is printed large on the spec sheet and the power budget is printed small — but the budget is the number that decides whether the site works in January, when heaters and IR illuminators are on.

The 20 models in this range cover 4 to 24 powered ports, 100M and gigabit access speeds, copper or SFP uplinks, and 65–400 W of total PoE budget. Every model is built on the same platform, so the choice is a matter of port count, uplink and budget rather than a change of product family.

How to choose

Count powered ports first. The port count is the hard ceiling — splitters and injectors can add powered runs later, but the switch cannot grow ports.
Then the budget. Add the device labels at their peak (not their average) and keep 20–30% spare. A 24-port switch with a small supply is a different product from one with the same ports and twice the budget.
Uplink when the backhaul is long. Copper is fine inside a building; SFP matters when the run back to the core exceeds the 100 m channel limit or crosses between buildings.
Match the PoE class to the cameras. 802.3af covers fixed domes; PTZ heads with heaters usually need 802.3at, and 60 W devices need 802.3bt.

Frequently asked

How many cameras can one PoE switch power?

Fewer than the port count, usually. The budget is pooled: a 24-port unit with a 400 W supply gives about 16.6 W per port if every port is loaded. Count the sum of the camera labels at their peak and compare it with the supply figure — not with the port count.

Do I need a PoE switch or PoE injectors?

A switch when the site needs several powered ports and the network is being installed anyway. Injectors when the existing switch is in service and only one or two runs need power — replacing a configured switch for two cameras rarely pays for itself.

100M or gigabit?

A single 1080p stream is a few Mbps, so 100M is not the limit for one camera per port. It matters at the uplink and for multi-sensor cameras, where the aggregate exceeds 100 Mbps, and for firmware pushes across a large site.

Can these switches be branded for our company?

Yes — OEM/ODM with custom branding, packaging and model numbers is standard on this range. Ask for the current datasheet and a sample plan before committing a project to a specific variant.

Are these switches managed or unmanaged?

All 20 are unmanaged — no web interface, no SNMP, no VLAN table. Several carry a panel switch that isolates the camera ports from the uplink at layer 2. If the project specification requires managed VLANs or ring recovery, that has to be met at the core switch.

How do I work out which model fits a site?

Add up the watt labels of every device at peak, divide by 0.8 to keep a reserve, and compare that with the budget column; the port count then has to cover the device count. The PoE budget calculator does both steps and returns the models that fit.
