Industrial Applications

1. Industrial IP Surveillance System Integration

Deploying high-definition PTZ IP security cameras across a manufacturing facility or warehouse. The switch powers up to 16 cameras simultaneously using PoE+ standard over a single Ethernet run, while using the 2 SFP ports to aggregate video streams to a central NVR located over 100 meters away in the control room.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the requirement for local AC power outlets at elevated or remote camera locations, and resolves video lag or mosaic issues under high traffic using the dedicated hardware-based Video Monitoring mode.

2. Enterprise Wireless Access Point Distribution

Deploying multiple high-bandwidth wireless access points (APs) across a multi-story hotel or office building. The switch supports standard IEEE 802.3at delivering up to 30W per port to satisfy high-draw Wi-Fi 6/7 AP requirements, ensuring stable wireless coverage.

Problem Solved

By enabling the physical VLAN Isolation mode, the switch isolates client traffic on ports 1-14 to prevent network broadcast storms and rogue lateral communication, securing guest and corporate subnets.

3. Fiber-to-the-Factory-Floor Uplink Node

Integrating decentralized assembly line sensors, HMI panels, and industrial controllers into the plant's core network. SFP slots enable dual long-distance fiber uplink connections for loop protection or remote fiber backhaul.

Problem Solved

Enables gigabit copper endpoints on the factory floor to connect over multi-mode or single-mode fiber backbones bypassing electromagnetic interference (EMI) typical of heavy machinery environments.
