24 Gigabit PoE+ Ports with 295W Power Budget

The MS128GP features 24 Gigabit PoE+ RJ45 ports that provide both network connectivity and electrical power to compatible devices through a single Ethernet cable. Supporting IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, each PoE port can deliver up to 30W, with a combined PoE power budget of 295W.

This integrated power and data delivery simplifies installation by reducing the need for separate power adapters and electrical connections at every device location. It is suitable for connecting IP surveillance cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other compatible PoE-powered equipment. Actual power availability depends on the total consumption of connected devices.

Gigabit Uplink and SFP Fibre Connectivity

For flexible network expansion, the MS128GP includes two dedicated Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports and two Gigabit SFP slots. The RJ45 uplink interfaces support conventional Ethernet connections to routers, core switches, and other network equipment. The SFP slots allow compatible fibre-optic transceivers to be installed for fibre-based network links.

This combination makes the switch suitable for structured network deployments where multiple access devices need to connect to a central network infrastructure. SFP transceivers and fibre cables are additional accessories and must be selected according to the required fibre type and connection distance.

Long-Range Extend Mode up to 250 Metres

The MS128GP supports Extend Mode, which increases PoE power and data transmission distance up to 250 metres on four designated PoE+ ports. This feature is particularly useful for surveillance installations where cameras or other PoE devices are located far from the main network cabinet.

When Extend Mode is enabled, the affected ports operate at 10Mbps rather than Gigabit speeds. Actual transmission distance depends on Ethernet cable quality and installation conditions. For standard high-speed network connections, normal mode should be used.

Isolation Mode for Improved Network Separation

Isolation Mode helps separate network traffic between two PoE port groups: ports 1–12 and ports 13–24. This can help limit unwanted communication between connected devices, reduce unnecessary broadcast traffic, and improve network separation in suitable deployments.

This feature is useful in surveillance and business networks where traffic separation between selected groups of connected devices is desirable. It provides basic port-group isolation rather than a replacement for a fully configurable VLAN-capable managed switch.

Priority Mode for Voice and Video Applications

The switch includes Priority Mode for ports 1–4, helping prioritise traffic from connected devices that support time-sensitive applications. This is useful in network environments carrying video surveillance streams, voice communications, and other applications where consistent traffic handling is important.

By giving selected ports higher priority, the MS128GP helps support more predictable network traffic handling in suitable deployments.

PoE Auto Recovery for Connected Devices

PoE Auto Recovery monitors connected PoE-powered devices on ports 1–24. If a powered device becomes unresponsive and stops sending data packets for an extended period, the switch can automatically reboot its PoE connection to help restore operation.

This feature can reduce the need for manual intervention when deploying IP cameras and other PoE equipment in locations that are difficult to access. It is particularly useful for distributed surveillance systems and installations with multiple remote network devices.

56Gbps Switching Capacity for Network Expansion

With a 56Gbps switching capacity, the MS128GP provides high-capacity internal switching for connected Gigabit Ethernet devices. Its store-and-forward transmission method checks incoming frames before forwarding them, supporting reliable data handling across the network.

The 8K MAC address table, automatic MAC learning and aging, and IEEE 802.3x flow control help support efficient communication across connected devices. These features make the switch suitable for expanding office networks, surveillance infrastructure, and other multi-device Ethernet deployments.

Plug-and-Play Installation and Durable Rackmount Design

The MS128GP is designed for straightforward installation without requiring central management or complex configuration for basic switching. Automatic negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX simplify connections to compatible network devices and Ethernet cables.

Its 440 × 180 × 44 mm metal enclosure is designed for desktop placement or rackmount installation. Two built-in fans support cooling, while the metal construction helps with durability and heat dissipation in network equipment environments.

Compatibility and Important Considerations

• PoE Device Compatibility: Designed for IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant powered devices. Confirm the power requirements of connected equipment before installation.
• PoE Power Budget: The total available PoE power is 295W. The combined power consumption of connected devices must remain within this budget.
• Extend Mode: Supports up to 250m on four designated ports, but affected ports operate at 10Mbps when this mode is enabled.
• Isolation Mode: Separates ports 1–12 from ports 13–24; it is not a substitute for advanced VLAN configuration.
• SFP Modules: Compatible Gigabit SFP transceivers and fibre cables are required for fibre connectivity and are not included in the standard package.
• Managed Features: This is an unmanaged switch. It does not provide advanced managed-switch configuration such as VLAN setup, SNMP management, or a web-based management interface.
• Cooling and Noise: The switch contains two fans, so some operating noise is expected. Consider equipment-room placement when installing in noise-sensitive environments.
• Power Consumption: Maximum power consumption depends on the connected PoE load and operating conditions.
