Router Reyee RG-EG406XS-P with 4 PoE ports and SFP+ uplink

The Reyee RG-EG406XS-P router is a compact network device that integrates four Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports with a high-speed SFP+ uplink. It is designed to supply power and data over Ethernet to compatible devices while offering flexible uplink options for fiber or copper connections via the SFP+ interface. The router targets small office, branch, and surveillance deployments where combined PoE power delivery and a 10Gbps-class uplink improve topology and cabling simplicity.

Advantages

This router consolidates data and power delivery in a single unit, reducing the need for separate power injectors or PoE switches. The inclusion of an SFP+ uplink enables higher-capacity backhaul or aggregation to core switches and servers. Its compact footprint and integrated PoE ports simplify installation in constrained racks or network cabinets. The device supports typical Layer 2/Layer 3 functionality expected in edge routing applications, enabling straightforward integration into existing infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Small office or branch networks requiring a few PoE-fed endpoints
• IP camera systems and security installations with central PoE power
• Wireless access point backhaul where a high-speed uplink is needed
• Edge aggregation where fiber uplink to a core switch or NVR is preferred

When it may not be suitable

The device provides four PoE ports and a single SFP+ uplink, so it may not be suitable for deployments that require large numbers of powered ports or multiple diverse uplink paths. Environments that need carrier-grade routing features, extensive WAN interfaces, or advanced firewall capabilities might require a higher-tier appliance.

Key specifications

• Number of PoE ports: 4
• Uplink interface: SFP+ (for 10Gbps-capable optical or direct-attach connections)
• Typical deployment role: edge router with PoE access
• Form factor: compact desktop or rack-adaptable edge device

How to use

Mount the router in a suitable location with access to uplink fiber or SFP+ ports and nearby PoE-powered devices. Connect the SFP+ module or DAC cable to the uplink slot and attach Ethernet cables from PoE ports to cameras, access points, or other powered endpoints. Configure network settings through the device’s management interface to set IP addressing, VLANs, PoE power allocation, and routing policies. Verify that connected devices receive power and link at the expected speeds, and monitor the router for port status and power consumption during initial setup.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the power budget per PoE port and total PoE budget matches the requirements of your devices.
• Ensure compatibility of SFP+ modules (optical wavelength and transceiver type) with your uplink infrastructure.
• Consider whether the number of PoE ports and a single SFP+ uplink meet your expansion needs.
• Verify management and routing feature set against your network policy and integration requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use certified SFP+ modules or direct-attach cables from compatible vendors and plan PoE loads so that peak power draw stays within the router’s total budget. Place the router near the uplink aggregation point to minimize cable runs and maintain clear ventilation for reliable operation.
