Netis P106GC PoE Switch with 4 Gigabit PoE+ Ports

The Netis P106GC PoE Switch brings gigabit speed and device power together in one compact unit. Moreover, four PoE+ ports feed cameras and access points through a single cable each. As a result, high-bandwidth devices run smoothly without extra power adapters.

Two uplinks complete the design, one copper port and one SFP slot. Furthermore, the SFP slot opens the door to fibre connections. Therefore, the switch grows with your network instead of limiting it.

In addition, a watch dog mode keeps powered devices running. Consequently, small sites gain steadier operation without constant attention.

Gigabit Power Delivery in a Compact Box

Modern cameras and access points need more than 100Mbps links. Therefore, gigabit ports remove a common bottleneck. Moreover, PoE+ delivers up to 30 W to each powered device.

The IEEE defines the 802.3at standard behind PoE+. Likewise, this switch also supports 802.3af, so older devices still work. Additionally, the built-in 60 W power supply removes the need for external power bricks. Consequently, the setup stays clean and simple.

Why the Netis P106GC PoE Switch Works for Small Sites

Small sites need fast links without complex management. Therefore, this unmanaged switch works as soon as you connect it. Moreover, it needs no software or configuration.

Four Gigabit PoE+ Ports

Four 10/100/1000Mbps ports carry data and power together. Furthermore, each port supplies up to 30 W. However, the total budget stays at 60 W. Therefore, two 30 W devices use the entire budget. For example, four 15 W devices fit comfortably.

Copper and SFP Uplinks

One gigabit RJ45 uplink connects to your router or main switch. Meanwhile, a separate SFP slot accepts compatible modules. Consequently, you can choose copper or fibre for the upstream link. Additionally, both uplinks leave all four PoE ports free for powered devices.

Fibre Links for Longer Distances

Fibre carries data farther than copper cable. Moreover, it resists electrical interference between buildings. The Fiber Optic Association offers helpful guidance on fibre cabling. Therefore, a detached workshop or yard office can link back to the main network with ease.

Smart Protection and Port Control

Two working modes suit different sites. In normal mode, the switch behaves like a standard unmanaged switch. In port VLAN mode, ports stay isolated from each other. Consequently, a faulty device cannot disturb its neighbours.

Watch Dog Mode for Continuous Operation

Watch dog mode checks powered devices around the clock. Furthermore, it restarts problematic ports automatically. As a result, a frozen camera can recover without a manual reset. Likewise, this feature suits sites that nobody visits daily.

Electrical Safety Features

Over-current, over-voltage, and short-circuit protection guard the PoE ports. Additionally, surge protection shields the unit from sudden voltage spikes. Moreover, soft start support avoids current peaks from high-power devices. Meanwhile, the steel housing helps dissipate heat during long hours of use.

Practical Use Cases

Netis P106GC PoE Switch in Surveillance Systems

Four-camera systems suit this switch perfectly. Therefore, small shops, homes, and offices can cover their key areas. Moreover, gigabit links carry high-resolution streams without strain. Consequently, footage stays smooth and detailed. In addition, Hikvision publishes PoE requirements for its network cameras.

Wireless Coverage for Offices

Modern Wi-Fi access points often draw more power than older models. Therefore, 30 W ports keep them running at full capability. Likewise, ceiling placement improves signal spread across a room. As a result, staff enjoy stronger wireless coverage in meeting areas.

Shops, Cafes, and Reception Areas

Compact spaces need tidy equipment. In that case, this switch powers cameras and an access point together. Furthermore, owners can send recordings to storage on the network. Meanwhile, the wall-mountable body keeps counters clear.

Small Offices and Meeting Rooms

Small offices want fast links and few cables. Therefore, a single switch can power a camera, an access point, and a phone. Likewise, workstations such as desktops gain fast access to shared resources through the upstream network. Additionally, plug-and-play operation suits teams without a network administrator.

Netis P106GC PoE Switch Compatibility

This switch works with any IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at powered device. Moreover, regular Ethernet devices connect to the same ports and receive data only. Because PoE detection runs first, those devices stay safe.

Cameras, Phones, and Access Points

IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points all work here. However, each device must stay within 30 W per port. Likewise, the combined draw must stay under the 60 W budget. Additionally, gigabit ports let each device use its full network speed.

Routers and Upstream Switches

The gigabit uplink connects to routers, firewalls, and larger switches. Furthermore, Auto MDI/MDIX adapts to the cable type automatically. Therefore, straight and crossover cables both work. You can also add more networking products such as routers and access points to complete your network. Meanwhile, the SFP slot supports flexible fibre links to distant switches.
