Cradlepoint 170623-004 4-Port 10G Switch
Overview
The Cradlepoint 170623-004 is a 4-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch built for point aggregation and high-speed fabric connectivity in enterprise networks. All four ports deliver 10GbE throughput, making this unit suited for scenarios where you need to consolidate multiple high-bandwidth streams—such as aggregating NVR traffic to SAN storage, connecting multiple Cradlepoint infrastructure devices, or providing core uplink capacity in campus and distributed deployments. This is a compact, low-port-count design, so it works best as a dedicated aggregation node or storage fabric switch rather than a general distribution layer.
Compatibility
The 170623-004 integrates with standard 10GbE network infrastructure and supports both copper (10GBASE-T) and fiber (SFP+) transceivers depending on your cabling plant. It is compatible with Cradlepoint enterprise and infrastructure equipment ecosystems and meets EU regional compliance requirements. Confirm your uplink and access-layer devices support 10GbE; backward compatibility to lower speeds will not deliver the throughput this switch is designed for.
Installation Notes
Plan your network topology before deployment. With only four ports, bandwidth allocation is constrained—typical deployments assign one port to uplink, one to SAN or storage target, and one to two ports to NVR or recorder aggregation. Verify your cabling supports your chosen transceiver type (copper Cat 6A or better for 10GBASE-T; qualified fiber for SFP+ modules). No separate PoE delivery on this unit—use it purely for switching and aggregation, not as a powered device feeder.
