Hanwha HV-GS980MX/28PSM-10 L3 Stackable Switch

The Hanwha HV-GS980MX/28PSM-10 is a mid-range L3 managed stackable Ethernet switch purpose-built for video surveillance and security camera network deployments. This enterprise-grade switch combines 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports with four SFP+ uplink ports and delivers 370W of PoE power budget, enabling simultaneous support for multiple Hanwha network cameras and edge devices across distributed surveillance infrastructure. By integrating Layer 3 routing with PoE+ power delivery, this switch eliminates the need for separate power injectors and midspan equipment in mid-to-large installations.

Key Features

24x Gigabit PoE+ Ports: 20 standard 10/100/1000-T PoE+ ports plus 4 variable-speed 1/2.5/5G-T PoE+ ports support both legacy and next-generation Hanwha cameras for flexible mixed-specification deployments

Four SFP+ Uplink Ports: High-bandwidth backhaul connectivity to NVRs, network storage, and core infrastructure prevents bottlenecking of concurrent video streams from 24+ cameras

370W PoE Power Budget: Industry-standard PoE+ (802.3at) power delivery supports high-wattage cameras and PTZ units simultaneously without remote power supplies

L3 Managed Switching: Advanced Layer 3 routing enables VLAN segmentation, inter-VLAN routing, QoS prioritization for video traffic, and traffic shaping for critical surveillance workflows

Stackable Design: Multi-switch stacking increases port density and simplifies management across expanded surveillance networks

NDAA Compliant: Meets U.S. federal procurement requirements for secure government and critical infrastructure deployments

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The HV-GS980MX/28PSM-10 addresses a critical gap in surveillance network architecture: the need for intelligent, powered switching without external dependencies. The 370W PoE budget supports realistic mixed-camera deployments where some ports serve high-power PTZ units while others handle standard fixed cameras. Layer 3 capabilities are essential for modern surveillance—VLAN isolation improves security, QoS ensures video streams maintain priority over background traffic, and inter-VLAN routing simplifies network architecture in multi-zone deployments.

The stackable form factor and SFP+ uplinks provide clear growth paths as camera counts increase. NDAA compliance is a significant advantage for government contractors and regulated sectors. For organizations already committed to Hanwha ecosystems, this switch reduces total cost of ownership by consolidating power delivery and intelligent switching into a single managed device.
