4-Port Gigabit PoE Switch 48V Cascading Repeater 1 In 4 Out
4-Port Gigabit PoE Switch – 48V Cascading Repeater (1 Input / 4 Output)
Extend your network farther and power more devices with the 4-Port Gigabit PoE Switch 48V Cascading Repeater. Designed for both indoor and outdoor installations, this compact switch accepts a single Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) uplink and distributes both data and 48V power to four downstream devices — IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and more — without needing a separate power supply at each endpoint.
Key Features
- Gigabit Speeds: All ports operate at up to 1000 Mbps, ensuring fast, lag-free data transmission across your network.
- 48V PoE Pass-Through: Delivers stable 48V power over Ethernet to connected devices, eliminating cable clutter and extra adapters.
- 1-Input / 4-Output Cascading Design: One PoE uplink port feeds four powered downstream ports — perfect for daisy-chaining or extending an existing PoE network segment.
- Weatherproof Enclosure: The rugged housing resists moisture and splashes, making it suitable for outdoor surveillance systems, building entry points, and exposed installations.
- Plug-and-Play Setup: No configuration software required — simply connect and the switch is ready to operate immediately.
- Compact & Mountable: Space-saving form factor fits easily in network cabinets, wall-mount brackets, or enclosure boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What devices can I connect to this 4-Port Gigabit PoE Switch?
A: This PoE switch is compatible with any 802.3af/at-compliant PoE device, including IP security cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and smart home controllers. As long as the device accepts 48V PoE input, it can be powered and connected through one of the four output ports.
Q: Can I cascade multiple PoE switches together to extend my network further?
A: Yes — the cascading repeater design allows you to chain multiple units together, extending your PoE network reach significantly beyond a single switch. Each unit takes one PoE input and distributes it to four downstream ports, making it easy to build out larger network segments.
Q: Is this PoE switch suitable for outdoor installation?
A: Yes. The weatherproof enclosure is built to withstand moisture and light splashing, making it well-suited for outdoor deployments such as external IP camera mounts, building entry systems, and covered outdoor network nodes. For fully exposed environments, we recommend placing it within a sealed outdoor enclosure for maximum protection.
Q: Does this switch require any software configuration?
A: No. This is an unmanaged, plug-and-play switch. Simply connect your uplink PoE cable to the input port and your devices to the four output ports — the switch handles power distribution and data routing automatically with no setup required.
