8-Port Industrial Unmanaged PoE+ Switch with 2 Gigabit SFP Uplink | IES7211-8PFE2GF-DC

Features

8 x PoE+ ports (10/100Mbps)

Delivers up to 30W per port to power IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless APs, adhering to IEEE 802.3af/at standards. Simplifies installation by combining data and power over a single cable.

2 x Gigabit SFP Uplink Slots

Provides high-speed, interference-free fiber connectivity for long-distance transmission (up to 120km). The dedicated 1.25G uplink eliminates network bottlenecks, ensuring smooth data backhaul for bandwidth-intensive applications like video surveillance.

Redundant Dual DC Power Inputs

Ensures maximum uptime with dual power supply inputs (12-48VDC). If the primary power source fails, the switch automatically switches to the backup, making it ideal for critical infrastructure and uninterruptible security systems.

Wide Operating Temperature (-40°C to 85°C)

Engineered for extreme environments. The fanless design and robust components guarantee stable performance in freezing cold warehouses or scorching hot factory floors, reducing maintenance calls.

Robust IP40 Protection & 8KV Surge Protection

Features a high-strength aluminum case that protects against dust and physical impacts. Built-in 8KV lightning/surge protection safeguards the switch from power surges and electrical disturbances, significantly enhancing network reliability in outdoor or industrial settings.

Plug-and-Play Unmanaged Design

No configuration required. Simply connect the power and cables, and the switch starts working immediately. This "auto-negotiation" feature reduces deployment time and costs, perfect for expanding your industrial network quickly.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is the total power budget (PoE budget) of the IES7211-8PFE2GF-DC? Can it power high-consumption PTZ cameras?

A: The IES7211-8PFE2GF-DC provides a total PoE power budget of 120W across its 8 ports. Each of the 8 PoE+ ports is compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at standards and can deliver up to 30W per port. This makes it more than capable of powering not only standard IP cameras and VoIP phones but also high-consumption devices like PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras, dual-band wireless APs, and industrial sensors, all without the need for additional power cabling.

Q: Does this unmanaged industrial PoE switch support gigabit speeds? What are the uplink port options for long-distance transmission?

A: Yes. While the 8 PoE+ ports operate at 10/100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) —which is sufficient for most edge devices like CCTV cameras—the switch is equipped with 2 x 1.25G SFP fiber uplink slots. These dedicated Gigabit SFP ports provide a high-speed, noise-immune backbone connection. They allow for long-distance data transmission up to 120 kilometers using fiber optics, effectively eliminating bottlenecks when aggregating traffic from multiple devices back to a central network or NVR.

Q: Is this switch truly "industrial grade"? Can it handle extreme temperatures and vibration on a factory floor or in an outdoor cabinet?

A: Absolutely. The IES7211-8PFE2GF-DC is certified for harsh industrial environments. It features a fanless, IP40-rated rugged metal housing that protects against dust, vibrations, and impacts. It operates reliably across an extended temperature range of -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F), ensuring 24/7 uptime in applications like factory automation, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and outdoor security surveillance where temperature fluctuations are common.

Q: How easy is it to install this industrial switch? Does it require a network engineer for configuration?

A: It is designed for true plug-and-play simplicity. As an unmanaged industrial PoE switch, it requires zero configuration. Simply mount it using the integrated DIN-rail or wall-mount kit, connect the power (dual redundant inputs supported), and plug in your devices. It automatically negotiates speed and PoE power delivery, making it ideal for quick deployment by system integrators or for expanding networks in remote locations without on-site IT specialists.

Q: What is the maximum data rate on the Ethernet ports? Is 10/100Mbps fast enough for modern IP surveillance systems?

A: The 8 PoE+ ports support 10/100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) speeds. For most industrial applications, particularly IP surveillance, this is the standard requirement. A single 1080p or 4MP video stream typically requires less than 20Mbps. Therefore, 100Mbps is more than sufficient for edge connectivity. The true performance booster is the 2 x Gigabit SFP uplink, which ensures that aggregated video data from all 8 ports can be forwarded to the core network without congestion, maintaining smooth video playback and recording.

Q: Does this switch offer any protection against power surges or lightning strikes, especially for outdoor installations?

A: Yes, reliability is a key feature. The IES7211-8PFE2GF-DC is engineered with built-in 8KV DC surge protection on the Ethernet ports. This safeguards the switch and connected devices from damage caused by lightning strikes, power surges, or electrostatic discharge (ESD), significantly enhancing network uptime in challenging outdoor or industrial electrical environments.
