Managed Ethernet Switch PLANET IGS-5225-4UP1T2S-12V 4-Port 802.3bt PoE 5 Gigabit Ports

The PLANET IGS-5225-4UP1T2S-12V is a high-performance industrial-grade managed Ethernet switch designed for demanding environments. It features four 10/100/1000BASE-T 802.3bt PoE++ ports, one additional Gigabit copper port, and two 100/1000/2500BASE-X SFP interfaces. Housed in a rugged IP30 aluminum casing, this switch is engineered to operate reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -40 to 75 degrees Celsius. It supports advanced PoE management, including 95-watt power output per port, making it an ideal solution for powering high-demand network devices while maintaining energy efficiency through support for renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.

Advantages

This switch offers exceptional flexibility by supporting a wide DC power input range, allowing it to function effectively in automotive and industrial settings without requiring specialized power supplies. Its compliance with the IEEE 802.3bt standard ensures that it can deliver up to 95 watts of power to connected devices, significantly exceeding the capabilities of standard PoE+ switches. The inclusion of redundant ring technology and rapid fault recovery ensures minimal downtime for critical network applications. Furthermore, the device integrates advanced cybersecurity features, including SSHv2 and TLSv1.2, to protect sensitive network traffic. The user-friendly web management interface, combined with ONVIF support, simplifies the monitoring and maintenance of surveillance systems and other connected equipment.

Suitable for

• High-power IP PTZ speed dome cameras
• Industrial wireless access points
• Thin clients and information kiosks
• AIO touch PCs and point-of-sale systems
• Remote digital signage displays
• PoE-powered lighting systems

When it may not be suitable

This switch is specifically designed for harsh industrial environments and may be overkill for standard office or home networking needs where such ruggedization and high-power PoE++ capabilities are not required. Additionally, users who do not need advanced Layer 3 routing or complex industrial protocol support like Modbus TCP may find simpler, more cost-effective unmanaged or basic smart switches more appropriate for their specific requirements.

Key specifications

• 4 x 10/100/1000BASE-T 802.3bt PoE++ ports
• 1 x 10/100/1000BASE-T copper port
• 2 x 100/1000/2500BASE-X SFP interfaces
• Total PoE power budget: 360 watts
• Operating temperature: -40 to 75 degrees Celsius
• Rugged IP30 aluminum housing
• Supports DIN-rail or wall mounting
• Redundant power input system

How to use

Installation is straightforward thanks to the support for DIN-rail or wall mounting, allowing for efficient space utilization in industrial cabinets. Connect your network devices to the PoE ports using standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cabling. For long-distance connections, utilize the SFP slots with appropriate fiber-optic modules. Once powered, access the device via the web-based management interface to configure VLANs, monitor PoE power usage, or set up automated schedules for device reboots. The system supports both IPv4 and IPv6, ensuring compatibility with modern network infrastructures.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your powered devices are compatible with the IEEE 802.3bt standard if you require the full 95W output.
• Ensure your power source meets the DC 9-48V input requirements for optimal performance.
• Consider the environmental conditions of your installation site to ensure the IP30 rating is sufficient.
• Check if your existing SFP modules are compatible with the 100/1000/2500BASE-X interface speeds.

Usage recommendations

For maximum reliability in factory automation, utilize the built-in Modbus TCP/IP protocol to integrate the switch with your existing SCADA or HMI systems. Regularly monitor the PoE power usage via the web interface to optimize energy consumption and utilize the PD Alive Check feature to ensure continuous operation of critical surveillance cameras.
