LevelOne FEP-1601W150 16 portos Fast Ethernet PoE switch

The FEP-1601 is a 16-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability. It provides sixteen Ethernet LAN ports with individual PoE on/off control via dip switches and two additional 10/100Mbps uplink ports for connection to other switches or NVR devices. The switch supports delivering up to 30 W to each PoE-enabled LAN port when the corresponding DIP switch is set to ON and can be used with LevelOne PoE repeaters to extend network links by 100 meters or to daisy-chain multiple repeaters for longer distances. The device is housed in a 19-inch metal chassis suitable for rack mounting.

Advantages

The model offers per-port PoE control through 16 dip switches, allowing selective power delivery to connected devices. Support for standard 10/100Mbps operation with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX simplifies installation and compatibility. Integration with PoE repeaters enables extended cable runs without additional power sources, and the metal 19-inch housing ensures durability and rack compatibility.

Key specifications

• Ports: 16 x 10/100Mbps PoE LAN ports with individual dip-switch PoE on/off control
• Uplink: 2 x 10/100Mbps dual uplink ports
• PoE power per port: up to 30 W when DIP switch = ON
• 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 FEP-1601 in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a flat surface. Connect network devices to the 16 LAN ports using standard Ethernet cables. For devices requiring power over Ethernet, set the corresponding port’s dip switch to ON to enable PoE and to OFF to disable it. Use the two 10/100Mbps uplink ports to connect to edge switches or NVRs. To extend PoE connections beyond 100 meters, connect LevelOne PoE repeaters in-line or daisy-chain multiple repeaters as needed.

Recommendations

Verify total power budget and connected device requirements before enabling multiple 30 W PoE ports simultaneously. Use LevelOne PoE repeaters certified for this switch to ensure reliable extension of PoE links and follow standard cabling practices for optimal performance.
