Network Application
This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the switch is used. In
general, the PoE Managed Switch is designed as a segment switch that has a large
address table (8000 MAC addresses) and high performance to deal with interconnecting
networking segments.
Using the uplink port (Gbps Combo port), the switch can connect with another switch or hub
to interconnect other small-switch workgroups to form a larger switch network. The PoE
switch also injects power into the UTP cables for supplying the power that Powered
Devices (PD) need.
The CWGE2FE8MSPOE can provide power to Powered Devices (PD) that follow the IEEE
802.3af standard in the network. It can solve the problem of position limitation. The network
devices can be installed in more appropriate position for better performance. The following
figure is an example of network application for Power over Ethernet Switch.
Small Workgroup
The PoE managed switch can be used as a standalone switch to which personal computers,
servers and print servers can be directly connected to form a small workgroup.
