⇒TECHNICAL DATASHEET

POWER CONSUMPTION

This switch exhibits efficient power consumption, drawing approximately 11.6 watts at 110V and 11.8 watts at 220V under typical operation without PoE load. When powering connected devices via PoE, it can deliver up to 62 watts total power budget across the 8 PoE+ ports. This power efficiency helps reduce energy costs while supporting network device power needs.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY 

It supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet to reduce power consumption during idle periods. It also features automatic power shutoff on ports when links are down to further save energy. The fanless design not only reduces operational noise but also increases reliability by eliminating moving parts that could fail. The switch implements strong traffic management protocols such as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) to prevent loops and enhance network stability.

PoE CAPABILITIES

With a PoE power budget of 62W, the switch can power IP devices directly, such as cameras, phones, and wireless access points. This eliminates the need for additional power supplies and cables, simplifying installation and reducing infrastructure costs.

SECURITY FEATURES

The CBS250-8P-E-2G-EU switch includes advanced security features such as network segmentation and access control. These features protect your network from potential threats, ensuring secure communication and safeguarding sensitive data.
