Compact 10 Gigabit PoE Switching for Demanding Fibre-Optic Networks
When deploying fibre-optic networks, we often face the same dilemma: how can increasingly power-hungry equipment be supplied when space is limited in technical cabinets and enclosures?
To address this specific challenge, IFOTEC offers the INet10X++, an 8-port 10 Gigabit PoE switch. Behind its compact enclosure lies a level of management capability and power that is usually only found in much larger chassis.
The result is an exceptional power-to-size ratio, setting a new benchmark on the market.
The 8-port PoE switch delivers 400 W of total power for IP equipment
The real strength of this 8-port 10 Gigabit PoE switch is its power capacity. With 400 W available and ports delivering up to 90 W each (PoE++), you can connect even the most power-hungry equipment without adding remote power supplies, such as:
- PTZ dome cameras with motorised zoom and IR illumination
- Video surveillance systems with integrated heating and embedded AI
- High-speed Wi-Fi access points
1 to 10 Gbps connectivity
On the networking side, the INet10X++ does not compromise on performance. With two 10 Gigabit SFP ports, it is ideal for building a daisy-chained or self-healing ring optical network, connecting 1 to 8 IP devices to each switch.
If a fibre link is interrupted, the network can automatically reroute traffic to maintain service continuity.
Designed to reduce energy consumption
Energy has become a major operating cost. Rather than leaving your equipment running at full power 24/7, this 8-port 10 Gigabit PoE switchincorporates intelligent PoE management features:
- PoE scheduling: schedule cameras or access points to switch off during periods when they are not required.
- Ping Watchdog: the switch monitors your cameras and automatically restarts them if they become unresponsive.
Built-in network security
Cybersecurity is no longer optional. The INet10X++ is already aligned with the requirements of the European Cyber Resilience Act.
It helps protect your network and data through encrypted management protocols (HTTPS, SNMPv3, SSHv2) and secure access control (IEEE 802.1X, RADIUS).
The IFOTEC advantage: INet10X++ 8-port PoE switch
Its IFoS management interface is so intuitive that you can monitor the health of your network and energy consumption at a glance, in real time.
