Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Planet GSD-1002VHP

PLANET GSD-1002VHP is an unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch with Power over Ethernet (PoE+) designed for secure IP surveillance and compact network deployments. It provides eight 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ copper ports (30 W per port) and two additional Gigabit uplink ports, a total PoE budget of up to 120 W, non-blocking switching performance and a compact desktop form factor suitable for small businesses and system integrators.

Advantages

The switch features an integrated LCD that displays per-port PoE loading, total PoE usage and system status indicators such as overload, low/high voltage and high temperature, enabling immediate monitoring and troubleshooting without a PC. It supports three operation modes via a DIP switch—Standard, VLAN and Extend—to adapt to different deployment needs. The Extend mode allows 30 W PoE delivery up to 250 m at 10 Mbps duplex to overcome the 100 m Ethernet distance limit. Additional protections include 4 kV ESD surge resistance and auto-MDI/MDI-X with auto-negotiation for simple cabling.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Powering and connecting IP surveillance cameras in small to medium installations
• Feeding PoE devices such as wireless access points and VoIP phones
• Short-distance backbone uplinks to NVRs, NAS or video servers
• Deployments requiring extended PoE reach (up to 250 m) for remote cameras

Key specifications

• Ports: 8 × 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports (30 W each), 2 × 10/100/1000BASE-T uplink ports
• Total PoE budget: up to 120 W
• Switching: non-blocking Gigabit switching
• Operation modes: Standard / VLAN / Extend (via DIP switch)
• Extend mode: 10 Mbps duplex with 30 W PoE up to 250 m
• LCD: real-time per-port PoE load, total power usage and system status
• Protection: ESD surge protection (4 kV)
• Cabling: RJ45 auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDI-X (Cat5/5e/6 compatible)

How to use

Place the GSD-1002VHP on a desktop or mount it where ventilation is adequate. Connect network devices to the eight PoE+ RJ45 ports to supply power and data simultaneously; use the two Gigabit uplink ports to connect to an NVR, NAS or core switch. Select the desired operation mode (Standard, VLAN, Extend) using the built-in DIP switch according to your network requirements. Monitor the LCD to check per-port PoE consumption and overall system status; the display helps identify overloads or abnormal conditions for quick troubleshooting.

Usage recommendations

For stable operation, keep the switch in a well-ventilated location, do not exceed the 120 W total PoE budget, and use Cat5e or Cat6 cables for Gigabit connections. Use Extend mode only when longer distance PoE delivery is required and accept the reduced link speed (10 Mbps duplex) for those ports.
