Ethernet Switches / Standard Non-PoE Network Switch

A: Unmanaged switches are plug-and-play devices with zero setup required. They automatically forward data between connected ports after plugging in cables, ideal for small offices, home networks or simple camera setups where no network adjustment is needed. Managed switches feature built-in operating systems, enabling manual configuration of VLAN, QoS, port speed limit, link aggregation and remote access control. Network admins can isolate device groups, prioritize critical traffic like surveillance video, and troubleshoot faulty ports remotely, suited for medium-to-large enterprises, commercial monitoring and multi-department networks. A third hybrid option, smart managed switches, sits in between with partial configurable functions at lower cost than full-managed types.

A: Yes, our PoE switches deliver both data and DC power over one single Ethernet cable, eliminating separate power adapters for end devices. We comply with three mainstream IEEE PoE standards: 802.3af (15.4W per port for basic IP cameras), 802.3at (30W per port for high-power PTZ cameras and dual-band Wi-Fi AP), and 802.3bt (60W/90W per port for high-consumption industrial terminals). Non-PoE devices can still receive regular network data from PoE ports without damage, as power output activates only after detecting PoE-compliant loads automatically.

A: Our lineup covers 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet, 1G Gigabit, 2.5G Multi-Gig and 10G uplink ports. 10/100M suits low-traffic devices like basic analog-converted IP cameras; Gigabit is the mainstream choice for daily office PCs, regular surveillance cameras and common wireless APs. 2.5G ports match new-generation high-definition 4K cameras and Wi-Fi 6 access points needing higher bandwidth, while 10G uplink ports aggregate all branch switch data to core switches for large-scale projects with dozens of connected devices. Most combo switches mix low-speed access ports + high-speed uplink ports to balance cost and performance.

A: Commercial switches are designed for indoor room-temperature office environments (0~40°C), plastic casing and desktop placement. Industrial switches are engineered for harsh field conditions: wide working temperature range from -40°C to +75°C, all-metal IP30 dustproof casing, DIN-rail clip design to mount on equipment cabinet rails instead of desks. They add stronger port lightning surge protection, anti-electromagnetic interference circuits to withstand unstable voltage and signal interference in factories, outdoor roadside cabinets, mine monitoring and outdoor solar-powered camera projects.

A: We provide full OEM & ODM customization based on your order volume. Basic OEM includes silk-screen printing your brand logo on shell, custom box packaging and customized product model codes without hardware modification. Advanced ODM covers personalized port quantity & layout, custom shell color, tailored default firmware settings such as preset PoE output power or fixed VLAN rules, and exclusive outer casing mold development for large-batch orders. Small orders only support logo OEM, while large bulk orders unlock full structural and software customization.

A: For our standard finished switches kept in warehouse, we support flexible low minimum order quantity; even sample orders of 1~5 units are acceptable for customer testing before bulk purchase. For OEM orders with logo printing only, MOQ normally starts at 50~100pcs depending on switch model. If you need ODM with shell mold or firmware revision, MOQ rises to 500~1000pcs to cover the extra development and production setup cost.

A: All our switches strictly follow international IEEE Ethernet industry standards, the unified communication protocol used by most global network brands. They seamlessly interconnect with Hikvision, Dahua, Cisco, TP-Link and other branded routers, fiber media converters, ONTs and IP terminals without compatibility issues. Rare connection failures usually stem from incorrect cable wiring or mismatched port rate settings instead of brand incompatibility, and our technical team offers free configuration guidance for cross-brand networking.

A: Most rack-mounted gigabit and PoE switches come with removable metal mounting ears matching standard 19-inch cabinet dimensions for easy rack installation in equipment rooms. Compact mini desktop switches (5-port/8-port small models) have no mounting brackets and are designed only for desktop placement or wall mounting with optional wall hang holes. We can also supply extra rack ears as spare parts upon customer request for applicable models.

A: All PoE switches and industrial switches add multi-level port surge protection circuits against lightning surge and instantaneous voltage spike, with common protection rating up to 6KV for outdoor wiring scenarios. Regular desktop non-PoE switches carry basic 2KV surge protection suitable for indoor wiring only. For projects with long-distance outdoor Ethernet cabling over 80 meters, we recommend adding external separate lightning protectors alongside switches to further lower damage risks from thunderstorm weather.

A: In-stock standard switches can be packed and delivered within 3~5 working days after deposit confirmation. Logo-only OEM orders need extra 5~7 working days for logo printing and repacking. Complex ODM orders with customized shell or firmware take 15~30 working days based on customization difficulty and monthly production schedule. We can prioritize production for urgent bulk orders after advance communication to shorten delivery cycle appropriately.
