The CEN-SW-POE-5 is a 5-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) from four of its ports. Power over Ethernet affords a one-wire solution for connecting Crestron touch screens, gateways, and other devices, delivering power and data over a single CAT5/6 network cable. All 5 ports are Gigabit capable to ensure maximum bandwidth for multimedia and critical control data.Using the CEN-SW-POE-5, there is no need to install a separate power supply at each networked device location. The CEN-SW-POE-5 can simply be mounted at a convenient location on a wall or in an equipment rack, providing a single power source for four separate 802.3af compliant PoE powered devices. Non-PoE devices may also be connected to any port on the CEN-SW-POE-5 without risk of damage to either component.
