Switch APTI POE0402-60W PoE network switch 60W total power, 4 PoE ports, 2 uplink ports

APTI POE0402-60W is a compact PoE network switch that supplies data and power over Ethernet for small LAN and edge deployments. The device offers a total PoE budget of up to 60W distributed over four PoE-capable ports and includes two additional uplink ports for connecting to the network backbone. Its form factor and functionality make it suitable for installations that require centralized power delivery and Ethernet connectivity for devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones.

Advantages

The switch provides a straightforward way to deliver both power and data over a single cable, reducing cabling complexity and installation time. With four PoE ports and two dedicated uplinks, it balances port density and uplink capacity for small networks. The compact design allows flexible placement in closets, on shelves or near edge devices. Built-in PoE power management ensures connected devices receive the power they require within the total 60W budget.

Suitable for

• Small office or retail layouts requiring PoE-powered IP cameras
• Wireless access point deployments in small to medium rooms
• VoIP phone installations in compact workspaces
• Edge networking where a simple, local PoE source is needed

Key specifications

• Total PoE power budget: up to 60 W
• PoE ports: 4 ports delivering both data and power
• Uplink ports: 2 non-PoE uplink ports for network backbone connection
• Form factor: compact desktop or shelf-mountable unit
• Intended use: small LAN and edge deployments for powering IP devices

How to use

Install the APTI POE0402-60W on a stable surface near your network devices and connect the two uplink ports to your router or core switch using standard Ethernet cables. Plug PoE-capable devices into the four PoE ports; the switch will provide both power and data over the same Ethernet cables. Ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the 60W budget. Provide the switch with appropriate mains power and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm connections and power status.

Usage recommendations

Plan connected device power consumption before deployment: list the power requirements of each PoE device and keep the combined draw within the 60W limit. For installations with multiple high-power devices, consider distributing loads across additional PoE switches or using a higher-capacity PoE solution. Place the switch in a ventilated area and secure it away from direct moisture and heat sources to maintain reliable operation.
