24-Port 2.5G Managed PoF Switch with Integrated Optical Transceivers | 500m Power+Data over Hybrid Fiber | IEEE 802.3af/at & YD/T 4305.1-2023 Certified

Features

True 500m PoF: Power + Data Over Single Hybrid Fiber Cable

Delivers 2.5G data + up to 30W DC power over one SC-type hybrid optical cable — no separate power injectors, no copper runs, no local AC. Complies with China’s YD/T 4305.1-2023 standard for optical power interfaces. Benefit: Deploy Wi-Fi 6E APs or PTZ cameras 500m from the core switch — cut cabling costs by 65% and eliminate 20+ AC outlets per site in large campuses or industrial parks.

Integrated 2.5G Optical Transceivers (No Module Swapping) 

All 24 PoF ports feature built-in 2.5G SFP optics, eliminating external transceivers, compatibility headaches, and insertion loss. SC-type connectors ensure plug-and-play deployment. Benefit: Reduce installation time by 40%, prevent module mismatch failures, and lower TCO vs. “fiber + PoE injector” workarounds.

Enterprise L3 Routing for Segmented Networks

Supports RIP dynamic routing, static routes, DHCP relay, and proxy ARP — enabling multi-subnet communication across distributed buildings or zones. Benefit: Replace multiple layer-2 switches + routers with one device; simplify network architecture while supporting VLAN-aware IoT, surveillance, and OT systems.

Granular, Schedule-Based PoF Power Management

Web-based PoF control lets you set port-level power priority, enable/disable per schedule (e.g., overnight shutdown), and cap per-port output (15W/24W/30W). Benefit: Optimize energy use in smart buildings, extend AP/camera lifespan, and meet sustainability targets (e.g., LEED, ISO 50001).

Carrier-Grade Security Suite for Critical Infrastructure

Includes 802.1X authentication, ACLs, DoS protection (Land, SYN-FIN, Ping Flood), 4-element binding, and HTTPS/SSHv2 encryption. Benefit: Meet NIST SP 800-53, IEC 62443, and GDPR requirements for government, education, and healthcare networks — out-of-the-box.

Questions & Answers

1. What is a PoF switch — and how is it different from PoE or PoE++?

A PoF (Power over Fiber) switch delivers both data and DC power over a single hybrid optical cable, unlike PoE (which uses copper). It enables 500m reach (vs. PoE’s 100m limit) and zero EMI risk, making it ideal for high-interference environments. Compliant with YD/T 4305.1-2023 and adapted IEEE 802.3af/at, it’s the future of long-haul powered optical access.

2. Does it require special cables or connectors?

Yes — certified SC-type hybrid optical cables (containing both optical fiber and power conductors), per YD/T 4305.1-2023. Standard fiber or copper cables won’t work. We supply pre-qualified cables and offer compatibility testing.

3. Can it power existing PoE devices (e.g., cameras, APs)?

Only if they are PoF-enabled endpoints (e.g., 2.5G PoF APs or cameras with hybrid SC ports). It does not power standard RJ45 PoE devices — those require a PoE switch or midspan injector.

4. Is it suitable for outdoor or industrial use?

Designed for indoor telecom closets and controlled environments (0°C–45°C). For harsh/outdoor sites, pair with an industrial PoF media converter or use our IES-series hardened PoF extenders (coming Q4).

5. How does PoF compare to passive optical LAN (POL)?

POL uses passive splitters and GPON/EPON — no power delivery. PoF adds active power injection at the switch, enabling direct 2.5G-powered endpoints without ONTs. It’s simpler, more deterministic, and better for latency-sensitive applications (e.g., real-time video, IIoT).
