Description

Black Box LPB1308A-R2 Gigabit Ethernet (1000-MBPS) POE+ Switch

Overview

The Black Box LPB1308A-R2 is an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to provide reliable network connectivity and power to IP-based devices. Its PoE+ capability simplifies installation by allowing a single cable to deliver both data and power, making it suitable for environments with IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones where running separate power lines is impractical. This switch is engineered for consistent performance in commercial and industrial network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This managed switch is compatible with a wide range of IP devices that adhere to Ethernet standards, including IP cameras from major manufacturers such as Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua. It supports standard 802.3af and 802.3at PoE+ protocols, ensuring compatibility with devices requiring up to 30W per port. It integrates seamlessly into existing network architectures and is suitable for use with network video recorders (NVRs) and video management systems (VMS) that utilize standard IP networking.

Installation Notes

The LPB1308A-R2 supports standard 802.3at PoE+ power delivery, drawing power from a compatible power source. For optimal performance and to ensure sufficient power budget for all connected PoE devices, it is recommended to connect the switch to a robust power supply or UPS. Ensure proper ventilation in the installation location, as the unit generates heat during operation, especially when delivering full PoE+ power to multiple ports. The switch is designed for desktop or rackmount installation using appropriate mounting hardware (sold separately).
