Comnet CWG26F4T22M Commercial-Grade 26-Port Managed Switch

Overview

The CWG26F4T22M is a 26-port managed switch designed for surveillance and commercial IP deployments where you need a fixed footprint that won't chew up your power budget. 22 RJ-45 gigabit ports plus 2 combo (RJ-45/SFP) and 2 dedicated SFP slots give you fiber uplink options without forcing you to sacrifice twisted-pair connections at the edge. Built for 1-RU rack mounting, it draws a maximum of 25 watts — critical when your facility power is metered or you're running off backup power during extended outages.

Compatibility

This switch integrates with standard IP camera deployments (Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and equivalent ONVIF-compliant devices), network video recorders (NVRs), and VMS platforms that operate over standard Ethernet. The switch handles VLAN traffic (4,000 max VLANs supported), so it plays well with segmented surveillance networks and multi-tenant environments. SFP combo ports accept either copper RJ-45 or fiber SFP modules, allowing you to extend camera runs via single-mode or multimode fiber where distance or EMI is a concern — useful for bridging buildings or crossing noisy industrial areas.

Installation Notes

Mounting requires a standard 19-inch rack frame with at least 1.73 inches of vertical space. The switch accepts 100–240 VAC input (50–60 Hz), so a single power cord handles both North American and international installations. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +50°C — adequate for indoor cabinets and conditioned enclosures, but not suitable for outdoor or unheated storage areas (storage rated to -20°C to +80°C). Internal power supply eliminates the need for an external brick, reducing clutter in tight cabinet spaces.
