PoE Switch BCS BCS-UPS/IP16/E-S/RACK5U — PoE switch with UPS support, 16 ports, rack 5U

BCS-UPS/IP16/E-S/RACK5U is a PoE switch by BCS that combines power-over-Ethernet switching with integrated UPS support in a 5U rack form factor. The device offers 16 Ethernet ports capable of supplying power to connected PoE devices while the built-in UPS functionality maintains power delivery during short interruptions. This model is intended for small to medium CCTV and network installations where continuous operation of IP cameras, wireless access points and other PoE-powered equipment is required.

Advantages

The switch unites PoE power delivery and uninterruptible power support in a single 5U rack-mounted unit, reducing the need for separate UPS systems and external injectors. With 16 ports available, it supports multiple networked devices simultaneously and simplifies cable management in rack environments. The integrated UPS function helps preserve device uptime during brief power outages, improving reliability of surveillance and network systems without adding separate external backup hardware.

Suitable for

• IP camera systems in small to medium CCTV installations
• Wireless access point deployments requiring centralized PoE power
• Small network closets or server rooms where rack-mounted equipment is used
• Edge network devices that need uninterrupted power for brief outages

Key specifications

• Form factor: 5U rack-mount unit suitable for standard server racks
• Port count: 16 Ethernet ports with PoE capability
• Power continuity: integrated UPS support for backup power during interruptions
• Application: designed to supply and manage power for PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras and access points
• Installation: intended for fixed rack installation in network or surveillance environments

How to use

Install the switch in a compatible 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting hardware and ensure the unit is secured at the 5U position. Connect the switch to mains power and to a suitably rated network uplink. Attach PoE devices to the Ethernet ports using standard network cables; the switch will provide data and power over the same cable. Verify UPS status indicators and monitor the unit to ensure it supplies backup power as expected during mains interruptions. Configure network settings and device management according to your network architecture and security policies.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the switch in a ventilated rack environment with appropriate ambient temperature control. Use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables for PoE connections and verify cumulative power budget versus attached device requirements. Periodically check UPS indicators and perform maintenance according to site procedures to ensure backup function remains available when needed.
