Network switch DAHUA GTX-A1-06-42-V2 PoE 4-port

The DAHUA GTX-A1-06-42-V2 PoE 4-port network switch is a compact device designed to provide both network connectivity and power delivery to IP devices over Ethernet. It offers four Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet capability, allowing cameras, wireless access points and other PoE-enabled devices to receive data and power through a single cable. The switch is intended for small surveillance setups and network edge deployments where space is limited and simple PoE distribution is required.

Advantages

The switch combines data transmission and power delivery in a single, space-saving unit, reducing the need for separate power supplies and cabling. Its compact design simplifies installation in constrained environments and near camera clusters or access point locations. With integrated PoE on all ports, the device supports centralized power management for connected devices, streamlining maintenance and reducing the number of required electrical outlets.

Suitable for

• Small IP surveillance systems with up to four PoE cameras
• Edge network deployments in retail, offices or residential buildings
• Connecting and powering wireless access points and IoT devices
• Temporary installations where quick, compact PoE distribution is needed

Key specifications

• Number of Ethernet ports: 4
• Power over Ethernet: PoE support on all ports
• Form factor: compact, desktop or wall-mountable
• Intended use: edge switch for small surveillance and network segments
• Connectivity: standard Ethernet interfaces for data and power delivery

How to use

Install the switch on a stable surface or mount it on a wall near the connected devices and the network uplink. Connect the network uplink from your router or upstream switch to the designated uplink port, then connect PoE-capable devices such as IP cameras or access points to the available Ethernet ports using standard Cat5e or higher cables. Power the switch from the local mains supply according to the product's power input requirements and verify that connected devices receive power and network connectivity. Configure the upstream network device as needed to manage IP addressing and traffic flow.

Usage recommendations

To ensure reliable operation, use high-quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or better) and place the switch in a well-ventilated, dry location away from direct heat sources. Verify total PoE power budget against the combined power requirements of all connected devices before installation. For critical installations, include a UPS or backup power source to maintain device operation during mains interruptions.
