Switch unmanaged ALLNET ALL8804POE+

The ALLNET ALL8804POE+ is an unmanaged Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch with eight RJ-45 ports that supply Power over Ethernet (PoE). Designed for basic network deployments, it supports IEEE standards for Ethernet and QoS and maintains a MAC address table suitable for small to medium-sized installations. Its compact form and rack-mount capability make it suitable where reliable wired connectivity and PoE are required for devices such as access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones.

Advantages

This unmanaged switch offers straightforward plug-and-play operation without the need for configuration, enabling fast deployment. The eight Gigabit ports deliver full-duplex 10/100/1000 connectivity per port, while PoE support allows simultaneous data and power delivery to powered devices, reducing cabling complexity. Compliance with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at ensures compatibility with a wide range of PoE-capable equipment. The device includes an 8000-entry MAC address table to efficiently forward traffic in typical network environments.

Suitable for

• Small office and branch networks requiring wired Gigabit connectivity
• Deployments of PoE devices such as wireless access points and IP cameras
• VoIP phone installations where centralized power over Ethernet is preferred
• Rack-mounted network closets or compact data cabinets

How to use

Install the switch in a suitable rack or place it on a stable surface with adequate ventilation. Connect each network device to the RJ-45 ports using standard Ethernet cables. For devices requiring power, connect them to PoE-capable ports to enable simultaneous data and power delivery. Power the switch from an appropriate mains source and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm connections. No configuration is necessary for basic switching and PoE operation.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a temperature-controlled environment and avoid placing it near strong electromagnetic sources. Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables of appropriate category (Cat5e or higher) for Gigabit performance. If powering many high-draw PoE devices, verify total available PoE budget and distribute powered devices across ports accordingly. Regularly check firmware and vendor documentation for any maintenance or safety guidance.
