Planet 48-Port 10/100/1000T 802.3at PoE + 4-Port 1000X SFP Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Cost-optimized, Configure-free Gigabit PoE+ Switch for System Integrators
PLANET GSW-5240HP, an ideal high-density Gigabit PoE Switch, provides cost-effective and Plug and Play advantages for the local area networks of SMBs. Offering Layer 2 data packet switching and stable operation, this model also complies with IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) at an affordable price. The GSW-5240HP is equipped with 48 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 1000BASE-X SFP interfaces with inner power system. Its 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports are integrated with an 802.3at PoE+ injector function. It offers a rack-mountable, safe and reliable power solution for SMBs deploying Power over Ethernet networks. Though it includes robust features designed for Enterprises Ethernet networks, its Plug and Play makes configuration easy.

IEEE 802.3at PoE+ Compliant Power Source Switch
The PoE in-line power following the IEEE 802.3at/af standard makes the GSW-5240HP able to deliver Gigabit speed data and up to 30 watts of power per port to 48 PoE compliant powered devices (PDs) with a combined power output budget of up to 370 watts. The GSW-5240HP provides more flexibility in power requirement for all kinds of PDs with affordable installation costs.

Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check
The GSW-5240HP can monitor connected PD status in real time via PD alive check function. Once the PD stops working and responding, the GSW-5240HP will resume the PoE power and bring the PD back to work. It will greatly enhance the network reliability through the PoE port resetting the PD’s power source and reducing administrator management burden.

Energy-saving Design
The GSW-5240HP uses a new engine that incorporates two advanced Green Networking technologies:

Idle Mode Link Down Power Savings
Intelligent Use of Power based on Cable Length
The GSW-5240HP Gigabit Ethernet Switch is designed to provide high-performance and energy-saving solutions, especially suitable for environments that require stable network connections. It supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) function (IEEE 802.3az), automatically adjusting power consumption based on network traffic. With a maximum total power distribution of 370W for 802.3at PoE, it efficiently powers PoE-enabled devices, such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones, ensuring stable operation.

In addition, the GSW-5240HP also features the advanced Ethernet Link Energy-saving technology. With the energy-saving feature, it can automatically reduce power consumption and further improve energy efficiency when the connected device is idle or turned off. The design that intelligently adjusts the power consumption according to the cable length can minimize unnecessary energy consumption and achieve efficient and economical operation. This switch is ideal for business and home networks, balancing performance, environmental protection and cost-effectiveness.

Easy Installation and Cable Connection
Providing data transfer and high PoE in one unit, the GSW-5240HP is able to reduce the need of extended cables and electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any unreachable place. It helps to lower the installation costs and simplify the installation effort. All the RJ45 copper interfaces of the GSW-5240HP support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. It also supports standard auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight-through or crossover cables.

Flexible Extension Solution
The four mini-GBIC slots built in the GSW-5240HP are compatible with the 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceiver, uplinked to backbone switch and monitoring center in long distance. The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to 10/20/40/80/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.

Applications

Perfect Integration Solution for PoE IP Surveillance
The GSW-5240HP provides an ideal, secure surveillance system at a lower total cost. It features 48 10/100/1000Mbps 802.3at PoE ports able to supply sufficient PoE power to 48 IEEE 802.3at PoE IP cameras at the same time. It is also able to connect with two 25-channel NVR systems or one 64-channel NVR system, uplinked to the backbone switch and the monitoring center. With such a high-performance switch architecture, the recorded video files from the PoE IP cameras can be saved in the NVR system to enable the administrators to control and monitor the surveillance images both in the local LAN and the remote sites.

Department/Workgroup PoE Network
Providing 48 PoE in-line power interfaces, the GSW-5240HP can easily build a power where IP phone system, IP camera system and wireless AP group for enterprises can be centrally controlled. The GSW-5240HP delivers full ports of 802.3af/at compliant Gigabit Ethernet network connectivity with high-performance and cost-effective advantages for the increasing number of PoE IP telephones, PoE IP cameras, PoE wireless access points and other devices applied at the edge of the small or medium enterprise network.
