FS108P Overview:
Product Features:
-
Supply
power to wireless access points and surveillance
cameras over Cat-5 cabling
- IEEE 802.3af power on up to 4 ports
- 8 10/100 Mbps Ports with AutoUplink™
Affordable Power over Ethernet Switching
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 – high up on walls and ceiling for maximum
coverage – 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 – 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.
