Description

Black Box LGB408A-R2 Network Switch

Overview

The Black Box LGB408A-R2 is an unmanaged 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for straightforward network expansion in small to medium deployments. It provides reliable connectivity for IP cameras, access control panels, or other network devices where basic network segmentation and speed are required. This unit is ideal for extending network reach in environments like small offices, retail backrooms, or residential installations that need to add more wired endpoints without complex configuration.

Compatibility

This switch is compatible with any standard IEEE 802.3af/at/bt compliant network device. It functions as a plug-and-play component for extending networks that utilize IP cameras from brands such as Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, or Dahua, as well as access control systems from HID, Honeywell, or Lenel. It will also integrate seamlessly with standard network video recorders (NVRs) and network attached storage (NAS) devices from Synology, QNAP, or any vendor supporting standard Ethernet protocols.

Installation Notes

The LGB408A-R2 requires a standard 100-240V AC power source via its included adapter. Each of the 8 copper RJ45 ports supports auto-negotiation for speed and duplex mode, simplifying setup. No configuration is required; simply connect your devices and power on the unit. For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the switch is installed in a location with adequate ventilation and within its operating temperature range.
