Hanwha HV-GS980MX/52PSM-10 L3 Stackable Switch

Hanwha HV-GS980MX/52PSM-10 Overview

The Hanwha HV-GS980MX/52PSM-10 is a Layer 3 managed stackable Ethernet switch purpose-built to support Hanwha network camera ecosystems. With 48 PoE-capable ports across two port tiers and 4x SFP+ uplink capacity, this switch delivers enterprise-grade switching and power distribution for mid-to-large surveillance installations requiring extensive camera connectivity and redundancy.

Hanwha HV-GS980MX/52PSM-10 Key Features

• 40x Gigabit PoE+ Ports: Forty 10/100/1000-T PoE+ ports (802.3at) enable simultaneous powering and networking of up to 40 standard PoE+ surveillance cameras, eliminating the need for separate power infrastructure at each camera location.
• 8x Multi-Speed PoE+ Uplink Ports: Eight additional PoE+ capable ports support 100M/1G/2.5G/5G speeds, providing flexible bandwidth scaling for hybrid deployments and future-proofing against higher-bitrate camera models.
• 4x SFP+ Fiber Uplinks: Four SFP+ ports deliver 10 Gbps fiber connectivity for long-distance backbone links, aggregation to network core infrastructure, or redundant upstream connections without distance limitations of copper cabling.
• Layer 3 Routing Capability: Full L3 switching enables inter-VLAN routing, QoS policy enforcement, and segmentation of camera traffic from management and access networks—critical for network security and traffic prioritization in large-scale deployments.
• Stackable Architecture: Multiple units can be daisy-chained via stacking modules, allowing logical consolidation of up to 10 switches as a single management entity while scaling port count and PoE capacity linearly.
• PoE+ Power Delivery: Built-in PoE+ (802.3at) power injection on all 48 network ports reduces installation complexity and eliminates separate midspan or injector hardware when used exclusively with Hanwha camera products.
• Fixed Single PSU Design: Single integrated power supply with US power cord simplifies logistics and deployment; stackable models can share power across units when properly configured.
• Hanwha Camera Optimization: Firmware and feature set tuned specifically for Hanwha Wisenet camera compatibility, including native support for Hanwha's bandwidth-efficient codecs and network management protocols.
• Enterprise Management Interface: Web-based and CLI-based management, support for SNMP, syslog, and standard switching protocols streamline remote monitoring and troubleshooting across distributed camera sites.

Hanwha HV-GS980MX/52PSM-10 Integration & Compatibility

This switch is engineered as a foundational network element for Hanwha Vision surveillance systems. It supports standard Ethernet-based Hanwha IP cameras and is compatible with ONVIF-compliant third-party cameras that operate within PoE+ power envelopes. Layer 3 capabilities enable integration with existing enterprise VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec, Exacq, etc.) through standard network routing and VLAN segmentation. The multi-speed uplink ports accommodate modern network infrastructures ranging from legacy gigabit aggregation to emerging 2.5G/5G network fabrics. SFP+ fiber ports ensure compatibility with campus or distributed site topologies where long copper runs are impractical or undesirable.
