NXA-ENET8POE

Gigabit PoE Ethernet Switch

Overview

The NXA-ENET8PoE Gigabit Ethernet Switch (

FG2178-62

) features 8 x 1000 Base-T ports

and is designed for homes and businesses that require a managed network for efficient
handling of voice, video, and data applications. Both power and data may be transmitted
through a single cable to eight remotely located Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) enabled devices
such as AMX Touch Panels, Wireless Access Points, VoIP Phones and IP Surveillance
cameras. In addition, the user-friendly web-based management interface allows you to easily
adjust settings to improve throughput, data prioritization and security.

Common Application

The NXA-ENET8PoE is a cost-effective solution that brings continuous availability, network
security, and an easy management interface for customers who are looking to migrate from
unmanaged to managed networks. It is perfect for homes and businesses. PoE capabilities
enable one Ethernet cable to deliver both data and power devices such as AMX Touch
Panels, WAPs and VoIP phones.

Note:

The NXA-ENET8PoE is not for use with MVP-9000i docking stations, including the

MVP-TDS-9 and MVP-WDS-9. For more information on MVP-9000i docking stations, please

Features

•

Gigabit Ethernet Switch -

Gigabit switching capacity significantly improves the



performance of a network's backbone delivering the throughput needed to support a
broad range of advanced network applications and reduce file transfer times.

•

Multiple 10/100/1000 Base-T Ports -

supports three different transfer rates on the

same port and auto-selects the best speed and duplex supported by both connected
devices for maximum data throughput.

•

Provides Power over Ethernet -

can deliver maximum power up to 15.4W for 4 ports

or 7.5W simultaneously for 8 ports over twisted pair cable up to 100 meters.

•

Simplified Set-Up -

The embedded web interface is user-friendly and enables users

to quickly and simply configure the NXA-ENET8PoE.

•

Comprehensive Quality of Service -

Four queues per port enable differentiated

management of up to four traffic types - traffic is prioritized providing optimal perfor-
mance for real-time applications such as voice and video.

•

Enhanced Security Features -

IEEE 802.1X port-based access control ensures all

users are authorized before being granted network access, plus user authentication
can be managed using a RADIUS server.

•

Power Management Capabilities -

the NXA-ENET8PoE can auto-detect powered

devices and power consumption, cutting power to ports with devices that have been
powered off and prioritization of ports to ensure power to important devices is retained
if the power demand exceeds the maximum power supply.

•

Supports IGMP Snooping -

The NXA-ENET8PoE supports multicast video for



solutions such as AMX Vision².

•

Send Signals Extreme Distances -

The NXA-ENET8PoE can send data over fiber for

distances to 70 kilometers depending on the cable type using the shared



RJ-45/SFP combo port.

•

Fanless Design -

Fewer moving parts reduces potential failures and runs more



quietly.

Product Specifications

Power-over-Ethernet Capability

The NXA-ENET8PoE’s eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports support the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) standard that enables DC power to be supplied to attached devices using
wires in the connecting Ethernet cable. Any 802.3af compliant device attached to a port can
directly draw power from the switch over the Ethernet cable without requiring its own
separate power source. This capability gives network administrators centralized power
control for devices such as IP phones and wireless access points, which translates into
greater network availability.
