The Comnet CTS24+2 is a 1 RU 24-port managed Ethernet switch built for surveillance and security deployments where you need PoE power distribution, VLAN segmentation, and network redundancy in a rack-mounted form factor. The modular design accepts three 8-port cards, so you can configure your exact port mix — useful when installing across distributed sites or phasing in infrastructure. The chassis ships with a 400W or 720W PoE budget depending on your power need; the 720W option handles dense camera installations without forcing you into separate midspan injectors.
The CTS24+2 pairs with any standard IP camera or access control device that draws PoE or PoE+ (up to 30W per port maximum). It supports IEEE 802.3at and delivers 10/100/1000 Mbps to each port, so it works upstream and downstream with both legacy 100 Mbps edge devices and modern gigabit cameras. The two combo uplink ports (10/100/1000Tx or 1000Fx fiber) connect to your core network switch or backbone. VLAN support (32 max via 802.1Q; 26 max port-based) lets you isolate camera traffic from access control and office networks — essential for compliance-driven deployments.
This is a 19-inch rackmount chassis with 1.75 inches of height. Verify your rack has adequate airflow — the unit draws 20W base power plus whatever PoE load you attach (up to 720W total). Operating temperature range is 0° to +50°C, so avoid direct sunlight or uncontrolled mechanical rooms. The 8.8 Gbps backplane and 2.75 MB packet buffer handle sustained multi-camera streaming without congestion; the 4K MAC address table supports enterprise scale. Redundancy features include IEEE 802.1d STP and 802.1w RSTP to prevent loop-induced broadcast storms across ring or redundant paths.
