Hanwha SKY-SW26M-001 24-Port Managed PoE+ Switch
The Hanwha SKY-SW26M-001 is a 24-port managed network switch purpose-built for IP surveillance and networked security infrastructure. This enterprise-grade switch delivers 24 PoE+ ports with dual gigabit uplink ports, providing scalable power and data distribution for mid-to-large camera deployments. Ideal for integrators and IT managers deploying Hanwha Wisenet SKY and third-party IP cameras across enterprise, municipal, and critical infrastructure sites.
Key Features
- 24 PoE+ Ports: Each port delivers IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power (up to 30W per port), eliminating the need for separate power injectors and reducing installation complexity in multi-camera environments.
- Dual Gigabit Uplink Ports: Two 1000M RJ45 uplink ports ensure high-bandwidth backhaul to core network infrastructure, maintaining throughput for simultaneous multi-stream video feeds and edge analytics processing.
- Managed Network Capabilities: Full management features enable VLAN segmentation, QoS prioritization, and IEEE 802.3x flow control, critical for isolating surveillance traffic and preventing bandwidth starvation in mixed-use networks.
- 36 Gbps Switching Capacity: High backplane bandwidth accommodates simultaneous PoE power delivery and gigabit data transmission across all 24 ports without oversubscription, ensuring consistent frame rates and low latency for live and recorded video.
- 8K MAC Address Table: Support for 8,192 MAC addresses enables reliable operation in large, complex network deployments with numerous connected devices.
Technical Highlights
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 113°F)
- ONVIF-compliant and Hanwha Wisenet SKY compatible for seamless VMS integration
- FCC Class B and CE certified for regulatory compliance
- Total PoE Power Budget: 720W (30W × 24 ports)
Applications
Ideal for multi-camera IP surveillance systems in retail environments, office buildings, warehouses, transportation hubs, and critical infrastructure facilities. The switch's managed capabilities and high power budget make it suitable for deployments requiring extensive camera networks with minimal cable runs and simplified power distribution.

The SKY-SW26M-001 addresses a critical gap in surveillance infrastructure: providing sufficient PoE power to support modern high-resolution cameras without requiring external power supplies. The 720W total budget across 24 ports allows for flexible camera selection, including pan-tilt-zoom and thermal models that demand higher power draw. The dual gigabit uplinks prevent backhaul congestion when aggregating 4K and multi-sensor video streams, while managed features like VLAN and QoS ensure surveillance traffic priority in converged networks.
For integrators standardizing on Hanwha ecosystems or deploying mixed-brand ONVIF cameras, this switch combines operational simplicity with enterprise-grade performance at mid-range price points.
