Switch BCS BCS-xPoE10Gb 8x PoE ports, 2x RJ45 uplink

The BCS-xPoE10Gb switch is an 8-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) network switch with two RJ45 uplink ports, designed to combine data connectivity and power delivery over standard Ethernet cabling. Intended for small to medium installations, this switch supports PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones while offering two RJ45 uplinks for connecting to a core network or router. The compact form and standard RJ45 interfaces make it suitable for rack or wall mounting in surveillance closets, small communication rooms or office network cabinets.

Advantages

This BCS switch integrates power and data transmission on the same Cat5e/Cat6 cabling, reducing the need for separate power supplies at device locations. With eight PoE-capable ports and two dedicated RJ45 uplinks, it simplifies network topology and minimizes the number of intermediate devices. The unit supports typical PoE deployment scenarios and provides a reliable physical interface for continuous operation of cameras, APs and phones using familiar RJ45 connectors.

Suitable for

• Small to medium surveillance systems with multiple IP cameras
• Wireless access point deployments in offices, retail or public spaces
• VoIP phone systems requiring centralized PoE power
• Edge network aggregation for buildings, shops or branch offices

Key specifications

• Ports: 8 PoE RJ45 data/power ports and 2 RJ45 uplink ports
• Interface type: 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 on all ports
• PoE capability: PoE power delivery over Ethernet on 8 ports
• Form factor: compact switch suitable for wall or shelf mounting
• Use environment: indoor network installations for surveillance, Wi‑Fi and VoIP

How to use

Install the switch in a dry, ventilated indoor location and connect its uplink RJ45 ports to the main router or core switch using appropriate Ethernet cabling. Connect PoE-capable devices such as IP cameras, access points or VoIP phones to the eight PoE RJ45 ports. Ensure the connected devices are compatible with standard PoE power classes and verify power budget and cable quality to support required power and data rates. Apply network configuration on the upstream router or management system as needed to assign IP addresses and set routing or VLAN rules.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables for both uplinks and endpoint connections, plan the total PoE power consumption of connected devices to avoid exceeding the switch power budget, and place the unit where it has adequate airflow to prevent overheating. For critical surveillance or VoIP systems, connect the switch to a UPS to maintain power during outages.
