16 portos Fast Ethernet PoE switch LevelOne FEP-1601W120

FEP-1601 is a 16-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE). Each of the 16 ports supports PoE and can be manually enabled or disabled via individual DIP switches. When a port's DIP switch is set to ON, that LAN port can supply up to 30 W. The switch also includes two dual-function 10/100Mbps uplink ports for connecting to other edge switches or an NVR. Using a compatible PoE repeater allows extending a PoE connection by an additional 100 meters or daisy-chaining repeaters to cover longer distances.

Advantages

The switch provides per-port PoE on/off control through DIP switches, enabling simple management of power delivery without software. With support for up to 30 W per port, it can power cameras and other PoE devices. Dual 10/100Mbps uplink ports simplify integration with existing networks or video recorders. A metal 19-inch rack-mount housing offers a durable form factor suitable for rack installations.

Key specifications

• Ports: 16 x 10/100Mbps PoE ports
• PoE power per port: up to 30 W (when DIP switch set to ON)
• Per-port control: 16 DIP switches for PoE on/off
• Uplink: 2 x 10/100Mbps dual-purpose uplink ports
• Standards: IEEE 802.3x Flow Control
• Duplex/negotiation: Full/half-duplex, auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDIX
• Chassis: 19-inch metal housing

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a flat surface. Connect network devices to the 16 PoE-enabled LAN ports. Set each port's DIP switch to ON to enable PoE power (up to 30 W) or to OFF to disable power delivery while maintaining data connectivity. Use the dual 10/100Mbps uplink ports to link the switch to an upstream switch or NVR. To extend PoE beyond 100 meters, connect a compatible PoE repeater to the PoE port and, if needed, chain additional repeaters according to the repeater manufacturer's instructions.

Recommendations

Verify the power budget and the maximum power requirements of connected devices before enabling PoE on multiple ports. Use compatible LevelOne PoE repeaters for reliable extension of PoE distance and follow safe installation practices for rack mounting and cable management.
