PoE switch ESPERANZA ENS106 — 10-port 10/100 Mbps, 8 PoE ports, 96W total PoE budget

ESPERANZA ENS106 is a compact 10-port Fast Ethernet switch with eight Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports and a total PoE budget of 96 W. The device supports 10/100Base-T cabling and IEEE 802.3x flow control, and provides automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover, MAC address learning and aging. With a switching capacity of 2 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 1.488 Mpps, the switch is designed for small office networks and surveillance setups that require powered network devices.

Advantages

The switch combines eight PoE-enabled ports with a 96 W total power budget, allowing direct powering of cameras, access points or VoIP phones without separate power supplies. Compact dimensions and a light weight make it suitable for installations with limited space. Energy consumption is moderate with a typical power draw of 96 W and a standby consumption of 4 W, while operational temperature and humidity ranges support deployment in a variety of indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Small office network connectivity
• IP surveillance systems with PoE cameras
• Deployments with PoE access points or VoIP phones
• Edge networking in retail or kiosk environments

How to use

Install the ENS106 on a stable surface or in a rack-compatible location that accommodates its dimensions and ventilation needs. Connect the AC power cable to a 220–240 V, 50 Hz outlet and power on the unit. Use standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables to link devices to the RJ-45 ports; PoE-capable ports will supply power automatically to compatible devices. Monitor device connectivity and MAC table behaviour as needed through connected network equipment; no additional configuration is required for basic switching and PoE operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable PoE deployments, distribute powered devices so the total power draw does not exceed the 96 W budget. Use quality Ethernet cabling (Cat5e or better) for PoE delivery and place the switch in a well-ventilated, dry indoor location within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
