Black Box LGB304AE 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Overview
The Black Box LGB304AE is a compact, 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to provide reliable 1000-Mbps network connectivity for surveillance devices and other network-attached equipment. Its small form factor and AC power input make it suitable for deployment in tight spaces or where standard PoE switches are not required. This unit is ideal for extending network reach to individual cameras, access control panels, or small NVRs in environments where dedicated network infrastructure is being built out or upgraded.
Compatibility
This switch is compatible with any network device requiring a 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet connection. It is suitable for use with IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), access control readers, VoIP phones, and other IP-enabled devices. Its auto-negotiating RJ45 ports ensure seamless integration with equipment from various manufacturers, including those from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua, provided they utilize standard Ethernet connectivity.
Installation Notes
The LGB304AE requires a 220V AC power source for operation. Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating, as it does not feature active cooling. The unit is designed for non-rackmount, desktop, or surface mounting scenarios. Connect devices using standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables.
