Black Box LPB1205A-R2 5-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch
Overview
The Black Box LPB1205A-R2 is a compact 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to deliver network connectivity and power to edge devices in surveillance and general IT deployments. Its PoE+ capability simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for connected devices, making it ideal for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones directly over the network cable. This switch is suited for small-scale deployments or as an uplink switch in distributed network architectures.
Compatibility
This switch supports standard Ethernet connectivity and is compatible with any network device adhering to IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) standards. It is suitable for powering IP cameras from brands such as Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua, as well as wireless access points from Ubiquiti, Aruba, and Cisco Meraki, provided their power draw does not exceed the switch's PoE budget. It functions as a standard network switch for any Ethernet-enabled device.
Installation Notes
The unit requires a standard AC power input (adapter not included, sold separately) to operate its non-PoE ports and to provide PoE power to connected devices. Ensure the total power draw of all connected PoE devices does not exceed the switch's maximum PoE budget to prevent port shutdowns or device malfunction. For optimal performance and longevity, install in a temperature-controlled environment.
