Network switch QOLTEC 52364 — Gigabit Ethernet PoE 16xRJ45, 2xSFP

Network switch QOLTEC 52364 — Gigabit Ethernet PoE 16xRJ45, 2xSFP is a Layer 2 switch that provides sixteen Gigabit RJ45 ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability and two SFP uplink slots. It is designed to deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installations for IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones while maintaining full 1 Gbps throughput on copper links and flexible fiber uplink options.

Advantages

The switch integrates PoE power delivery with Gigabit performance across all copper ports, allowing centralized powering of connected devices without separate power supplies. Two SFP slots provide fiber connectivity options for longer-distance uplinks or aggregation to core switches. Built-in Layer 2 switching functions ensure efficient frame forwarding with low latency, and the compact design fits rack-mounted or desktop deployments in small and medium offices or retail environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting and powering IP surveillance cameras in small to medium installations
• Supplying PoE to wireless access points in office or retail spaces
• Powering and linking VoIP phones and endpoint devices
• Edge aggregation where fiber uplinks are required for backbone connectivity

Key specifications

• Layer: Layer 2 switching
• Ports: 16 x Gigabit RJ45 with PoE support
• Uplink: 2 x SFP slots for fiber modules
• Data rate: 1 Gbps on copper ports
• PoE: Port-level power delivery over Ethernet (PoE standard compatibility indicated by manufacturer)
• Form factor: Compact desktop or rack-mountable footprint

How to use

Install the switch on a stable surface or mount it in a rack according to available mounting options. Connect upstream network equipment to the SFP slots using compatible fiber modules and patch cables, and connect end devices to the Gigabit RJ45 PoE ports using Cat5e or better Ethernet cables to ensure 1 Gbps links. Verify PoE-enabled devices receive power automatically when connected; consult device indicators and documentation for port status and link activity. Configure VLANs, port settings and other Layer 2 features via the management interface if available, or deploy the switch as an unmanaged unit for plug-and-play operation.

Usage recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated area to ensure adequate cooling. Use quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e/Cat6) for Gigabit connections and choose appropriate SFP modules for the required fiber type and distance. Calculate total PoE power budget before connecting multiple powered devices to avoid overloading available power capacity, and segregate critical devices on dedicated ports or VLANs for predictable network behavior.
