The ProSafe FS108P provides power and data from a single point, using Power over Ethernet (PoE) over a single Cat-5 cable. The eight Fast Ethernet ports can be used for any 10/100 Mbps link and four of these ports can supply industry-standard IEEE 802.3af power. Advanced auto-sensing algorithm gives power only to 802.3af end devices, so no need to worry about damaging proprietary PoE or non-PoE equipment. In addition, it discontinues the power when PoE devices are disconnected. Easy and reliable, the ProSafe FS108P automatically determines PoE requirements, speed, duplex, and cable type using Auto Uplink™.
The affordably priced ProSafe FS108P delivers PoE to any small business network that wants to simplify the installation of wireless access points and IP-based surveillance cameras. These devices are optimally installed on a ceiling or high on a wall, away from most electrical outlets. PoE eliminates the requirement for a dedicated electrical outlet to power these devices. This allows for flexibility in situating devices where AC power is difficult to access and lowers installation costs. Compact and flexible, the ProSafe FS108P is ideal for small business networks that need to inexpensively use PoE to deploy wireless access points and IP-based network surveillance cameras.
Flexible
Choose to plug in up to eight Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet devices and mix in up to four 802.3af
IP-based devices like wireless access points or
IP-based network surveillance cameras. Place
these 802.3af-compliant devices where they
belong ¡V high up on walls and ceiling for
maximum coverage ¡V or anywhere else you need
them. Power and data are carried over standard
Cat 5 cabling.
Plug and Play
The standards-based ProSafe FS108P senses and
adjusts for network speed and cabling type
automatically, for easy integration into your
existing 10/100 Ethernet network. For PoE, the
switch automatically detects 802.3af-compliant
devices, and supplies power as needed. Front
panel LEDs keep you informed of switch and PoE
status.
Quiet and Compact
Engineered for compact convenience, it features
a 9-inch, durable metal case that is easily
positioned on your desktop or a wall, using the
included mounting hardware. The fan-less design
quietly integrates with your small office
environment.
Great Value
With data switching and Power over Ethernet
integrated into one unit, the FS108P saves
space, reduces cables and eliminates the
requirement for dedicated electrical outlets ¡V
lowering installation costs, simplifying
installation of PoE-capable devices, and
eliminating the need for electricians or
extension cords. All in all, a great benefit for
a modest price.
