Frequently Asked Questions
What is an unmanaged PoE Ethernet switch used for?
An unmanaged PoE Ethernet switch provides plug-and-play network connectivity with integrated power delivery. It's ideal for industrial, transportation, and surveillance applications where you need to power IP cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones without separate power cables or complex configuration.
Is the EKI-9510G-2GPL suitable for railway applications?
Yes. The EKI-9510G-2GPL is EN50155 compliant, meeting strict railway and transportation standards. Its M12 connectors and rugged design make it reliable for rolling stock, trackside equipment, and other demanding railway environments.
How much PoE power can this M12 switch deliver?
This M12 PoE Ethernet switch delivers up to 100W total PoE power across its 8 Fast Ethernet ports. This supports multiple high-power devices such as PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and industrial IP phones simultaneously.
What are M12 connectors and why do they matter?
M12 connectors are circular, threaded industrial connectors designed for harsh environments. Unlike standard RJ45 connectors, M12 connectors provide superior vibration resistance, IP67 sealing, and durability—critical for transportation and factory automation where reliability is non-negotiable.
