Ethernet PoE Switch QOLTEC 16x RJ45, 2x RJ45 uplink, 1x SFP (MPN 52291)

The QOLTEC Ethernet PoE Switch with 16x RJ45 ports, 2x RJ45 uplink ports and 1x SFP slot is a Layer 2 Fast Ethernet switch designed to supply power and data over the same cable. It combines sixteen Power-over-Ethernet ports for connected devices with two dedicated uplink ports and an SFP fiber interface for network expansion. The switch supports centralised power delivery to IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones, simplifying installations in small to medium-sized network environments.

Advantages

This QOLTEC PoE switch provides reliable Layer 2 switching performance while delivering power and data through a single Ethernet cable to compatible devices. The mix of 16 powered RJ45 ports, two additional RJ45 uplinks and an SFP slot enables flexible topology options including uplink to core switches or direct fiber connection. Passive management features common to Fast Ethernet switches keep configuration simple and reduce deployment time in surveillance, wireless and telephony setups.

Suitable for

• IP camera systems for video surveillance
• Wireless access point deployments in offices and public areas
• VoIP telephony systems requiring centralized power
• Small to medium business network edge switches
• Fiber uplink connections to distribution or core switches

Key specifications

• Switch type: Layer 2 Fast Ethernet with Power over Ethernet
• Ports: 16 RJ45 PoE ports for powered devices
• Uplink: 2 RJ45 uplink ports for connection to network core
• Fiber: 1 SFP slot for single-mode or multi-mode fiber modules
• PoE capability: Delivers power over standard Ethernet cabling to compatible devices
• Form factor: Desktop/rackable compact switch suitable for network closets

How to use

Install the switch on a stable surface or mount it in a rack if the chassis supports rack mounting. Connect the uplink RJ45 ports to your distribution or core switch to integrate the device into the existing network, or insert an appropriate SFP module into the SFP slot for fiber connectivity. Attach IP cameras, wireless access points or VoIP phones to the 16 RJ45 PoE ports using standard Ethernet cables; the switch will provide data and power over the same cable to compatible devices. Ensure the switch is connected to a power source and verify indicators to confirm link and PoE status before placing devices into production.

Usage recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated area and avoid obstructing ventilation openings to maintain optimal operating temperature. Check device power consumption and ensure the total PoE budget meets the requirements of all connected powered devices. For fiber uplinks, choose SFP modules compatible with the network distance and fiber type used. Regularly monitor link LEDs and perform firmware updates if available to maintain stability and security.
