Network Switch QOLTEC 52292 — Gigabit Ethernet PoE, 16x RJ45, 2x RJ45 uplink, 2x SFP

QOLTEC 52292 is a Gigabit Ethernet PoE switch with 16 RJ45 PoE ports, two RJ45 uplink ports and two SFP slots. It combines centralized Power over Ethernet delivery with full Gigabit connectivity across access ports and dedicated uplinks, enabling simplified cabling and power supply for IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points and other network devices in small to medium-sized deployments.

Advantages

The switch supports simultaneous data and power delivery over standard Ethernet cables to compatible devices, reducing the need for separate power supplies and streamlining installation. With 16 Gigabit PoE ports, two Gigabit uplink ports and two SFP fiber slots, the unit provides flexible connectivity options for copper and fiber backbones. Its compact rack- or shelf-friendly design and plug-and-play operation allow quick integration into existing networks while maintaining stable Gigabit performance across endpoints.

Suitable for

• Surveillance systems with multiple PoE IP cameras
• Small to medium office networks requiring VoIP phones and PoE access points
• Network edge aggregation where fiber uplink or redundant copper uplinks are needed
• Retail, hospitality and education environments with mixed wired and wireless deployments

Key specifications

• Ports: 16 × RJ45 Gigabit PoE ports, 2 × RJ45 Gigabit uplink ports, 2 × SFP slots for fiber modules
• Data rate: Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) on relevant ports
• PoE: Power over Ethernet capability on 16 ports for powering compatible devices
• Form factor: Compact metal housing suitable for desktop or rack mounting
• Connectivity: Copper RJ45 and SFP fiber interface options for flexible network design

How to use

Install the switch on a shelf or in a network rack and connect the uplink ports or SFP modules to your core network or upstream router. Connect PoE-enabled devices to the dedicated RJ45 PoE ports using standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables to provide both data and power. Non-PoE endpoints may be connected to the uplink ports as needed. Power the unit from a suitable mains outlet and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm proper connections and operation.

Usage recommendations

Plan PoE budget according to the total power consumption of connected devices and verify that individual device power requirements are within the switch's per-port PoE capability. Use quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) and appropriate SFP modules for fiber uplinks to ensure stable Gigabit performance and reliable power delivery across the network.
