Network Switch PoE+ Camsat X-CAM II 4F TX13 (12V, TX1310, RX1550)

The Camsat X-CAM II 4F TX13 is a compact PoE+ network switch designed for small surveillance setups and localized network segments. Powered by 12V, it combines four F-type ports with Power over Ethernet functionality to supply both data and power to compatible devices such as IP cameras and access points. Model references include TX1310 and RX1550, and the unit is intended to simplify cabling where PoE+ delivery and compact wired connectivity are required.

Advantages

This PoE+ switch delivers power and data over a single cable, reducing installation complexity and the need for separate power supplies for connected devices. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for constrained spaces or wall-mounted installations. The device supports PoE+ levels to meet the higher power requirements of modern network cameras and some wireless access points, enabling flexible placement of powered devices without nearby mains outlets.

Suitable for

• Small IP camera systems in homes, offices, or small retail installations
• Short-run network segments that require combined data and power delivery
• Deployments where compact, low-profile wired equipment is preferred
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations that use 12V power sources

When it may not be suitable

The switch is intended for small-scale deployments; it may not meet the requirements of large enterprise networks that need many ports, advanced switching features, or high aggregate throughput. Environments that require long-distance Ethernet runs beyond standard cable limits or higher than PoE+ power budgets may need alternative equipment. Additionally, devices that require PoE standards beyond PoE+ or custom management features are not supported by a basic unmanaged PoE+ unit.

Key specifications

• Power input: 12 V DC
• Port type: four F-type data/power ports with PoE+ capability
• PoE standard: PoE+ (supports higher power delivery per port compared to standard PoE)
• Typical use: wired connectivity and power delivery for IP cameras and access points
• Form factor: compact unit suitable for constrained installation spaces

How to use

Connect the 12V power supply to the switch, then run Ethernet cables from the switch ports to PoE-capable devices such as IP cameras or wireless access points. Ensure connected devices support PoE+ where higher power delivery is required. Configure network settings at the devices or upstream router as needed; the switch provides power and basic wired connectivity but does not replace a managed switch for VLANs or complex routing. Place the unit in a ventilated, dry location and route cables to avoid strain on connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm total PoE power budget and per-port requirements of your devices to ensure compatibility with PoE+ delivery.
• Check that the 12V power source available on-site matches the switch input specifications and can supply sufficient current.
• Evaluate whether unmanaged PoE+ functionality meets your needs or if a managed switch with advanced features is required.
• Measure cable lengths and installation locations to ensure Ethernet run limits and signal quality are acceptable.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality shielded or unshielded Ethernet cables of appropriate category (Cat5e or higher) and verify that each camera or access point is rated for PoE+ if higher power is necessary. Keep the switch in a ventilated area and avoid exposing it to moisture; when deploying multiple high-power devices, confirm the combined power draw stays within the switch’s supported budget.
