Switch ESPERANZA ENS108 10-port PoE 10/100/1000 Mbps, 120W total power

The ESPERANZA ENS108 10-port PoE switch provides ten 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with integrated Power over Ethernet and a shared PoE budget of 120W. Designed for small office, retail and residential surveillance environments, this switch combines gigabit data throughput on each port with centralized power delivery to compatible IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones. Its compact form factor and plug-and-play operation make it suitable for simple network expansion where simultaneous power and data over a single cable is required.

Advantages

The ENS108 simplifies installation by delivering data and power over the same Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies for PoE-capable devices. With gigabit-capable ports on all 10 connectors, it supports high-bandwidth devices and reduces network bottlenecks. A total PoE budget of 120W allows powering multiple devices simultaneously, and the device’s straightforward setup requires minimal configuration for basic deployments.

Suitable for

• Small office networks needing centralized PoE for IP phones and access points
• Retail environments with PoE-enabled point-of-sale terminals and cameras
• Home or small business surveillance systems using multiple IP cameras
• Temporary installations where quick plug-and-play network and power are required

When it may not be suitable

This switch is not a managed switch and therefore does not provide advanced features such as VLAN tagging, QoS configuration through a management interface, SNMP monitoring, or port mirroring. Larger enterprise networks requiring centralized management, advanced security policies or link aggregation should use a managed switch with the necessary feature set. Also, if the total PoE power draw of connected devices exceeds 120W, not all devices will receive full power simultaneously.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 10 gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps)
• PoE total budget: 120W shared across ports
• PoE standard: supplies power over Ethernet to compatible devices (supports IEEE 802.3af/at devices if applicable)
• Operation mode: plug-and-play, unmanaged switch
• Form factor: compact desktop or shelf-mountable unit
• Typical use: power and data for IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface or mount it according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then connect a network uplink from a router or core switch to one of the Ethernet ports. Connect PoE-capable devices using standard Ethernet cables; the switch will provide both power and data automatically without additional configuration. Monitor device operation through the indicator LEDs to confirm link status and activity. If multiple high-power devices are connected, plan the distribution so the cumulative power draw remains within the 120W budget.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the combined PoE power requirements of all devices to ensure they do not exceed 120W.
• Confirm whether unmanaged operation meets your network management and security needs.
• Verify that connected devices support the PoE standard provided by the switch.
• Consider port count and whether future expansion will require additional switches or uplink capacity.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) and distribute high-draw PoE devices across ports to avoid exceeding the 120W budget. For installations requiring monitoring or segmentation, pair this unmanaged PoE switch with a managed uplink device that provides VLANs and QoS at the network core.
