Altronix NETWAY16MV 16-Port Managed Mid-Span PoE Switch 220VAC

Overview

The Altronix NETWAY16MV is a 1U rack-mount, 16-port managed mid-span PoE switch built specifically for international surveillance infrastructure running on 220VAC, 60Hz power. With a 300W total power budget, IEEE 802.3af/at compliance, and a -20°C to 40°C operating range, this unit fits neatly into 19-inch equipment racks at sites where North American 120VAC simply isn't available — think international facilities, government installations, and manufacturing campuses wired for European or Latin American power grids. If you're designing a network switch infrastructure for a multi-camera deployment that needs managed PoE at 220V, the NETWAY16MV is one of the few purpose-built options in the Altronix surveillance power and networking line.

Key Features

• 300W Total PoE Budget across 16 Ports: At up to 30W per port (IEEE 802.3at), the NETWAY16MV can simultaneously power PoE+ devices — PTZ cameras, access control readers with heated enclosures, multi-sensor cameras — without requiring a separate injector per device. The 300W pool means you can run roughly 10 ports at full 30W load before hitting the ceiling, which is realistic for mixed deployments combining standard PoE cameras (typically 6–13W) with a handful of PoE+ devices.
• 220VAC / 60Hz Input at 2.5A: This is the spec that makes the NETWAY16MV relevant on international and non-standard-voltage sites. Most PoE switches sold in North America assume 120VAC; this unit wires directly to 220V circuits without step-down transformers, eliminating a failure point and reducing panel clutter.
• IEEE 802.3af/at Dual-Standard PoE: Compatibility with both af (15.4W) and at (30W) standards means you're not locked into a specific camera or device generation. Standard IP cameras on 802.3af coexist on the same switch with PoE+ pan-tilt-zoom units or intercoms on 802.3at — no per-port manual configuration required for class negotiation.
• 10/100 Mbps per Port via CAT5e or Better: For most fixed IP cameras streaming H.264 or H.265 at 1080p–5MP, 100 Mbps per port is sufficient bandwidth. The 100m maximum distance over CAT5e aligns with standard structured cabling runs — useful when confirming whether a camera location is within reach without additional media conversion.
• Managed Switch Architecture: The managed designation means per-port PoE control, VLAN segmentation, and traffic monitoring are available — critical for segmenting camera traffic from corporate LAN traffic and for remotely cycling power to a locked-up camera without a site visit. For large IP camera deployments, managed PoE switches are the operational difference between a maintainable system and one that requires a technician on-site for every reboot.
