4. FAQ Section:

• Develop an FAQ section to address common customer concerns.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
  • Q1: What is the maximum distance these SC fiber ports can support?A1: The maximum distance depends on the type of SC fiber optic cable and SFP module (if applicable for other models, though this one has fixed SC ports) used. Typically:
    • Multimode Fiber (MMF): Up to 550 meters for Gigabit Ethernet.
    • Singlemode Fiber (SMF): From 10km up to 120km or more, depending on the specific fiber and transceivers.

    (Clarify if the SC ports are for MMF or SMF, or if they support both depending on the connected fiber. If it’s fixed for one type, state it.)

  • Q2: Is this switch managed or unmanaged?A2: This is an unmanaged PoE switch, meaning it’s plug-and-play. No complex configuration is required, making it ideal for quick and easy deployment.
  • Q3: What types of devices can I power with this PoE+ switch?A3: This switch can power IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) compliant devices, such as:
    • IP Security Cameras (PTZ and fixed)
    • Wireless Access Points (WAPs)
    • VoIP Phones
    • IoT Sensors
    • Other network devices requiring up to 30W per port.

    Always check the power requirements of your devices against the switch’s 65W total PoE budget.

  • Q4: What kind of power supply unit (PSU) do I need for this switch?A4: This switch requires a DC power input ranging from DC 48V to 57V. The power supply is typically sold separately unless specified. Ensure your PSU can deliver enough wattage to cover the switch itself (approx. 5W) plus the total power needed by your connected PoE devices (up to 65W).
  • Q5: Can I use this switch outdoors?A5: While this switch is industrial grade with a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), it is designed for installation within a suitable weatherproof enclosure if used outdoors to protect it from direct exposure to rain, moisture, and dust.
  • Q6: What does “PoE+” mean compared to “PoE”?A6: PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at standard) can deliver more power per port (up to 30W) compared to standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af, up to 15.4W). This makes PoE+ suitable for more power-hungry devices like PTZ cameras or high-performance wireless access points. This switch supports both standards.
  • Q7: What is included in the package?A7: Typically, the package includes the 4-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch and a DIN-rail mounting kit. Please check the “Package Contents” section (if you add one) or product details for specifics. The power supply is usually sold separately.
  • Q8: What warranty is provided with this switch?A8: (Specify your warranty terms here, e.g., “This switch comes with a [Number] year limited warranty. Please refer to our warranty policy for full details.”)

5. Installation Steps (If Applicable):

• Even for plug-and-play, basic steps are helpful.Simple Setup & InstallationThis unmanaged PoE switch is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps:
  1. Mount the Switch (Optional but Recommended):
     • DIN-Rail Mounting: Secure the included DIN-rail clip to the switch (if not pre-attached) and then clip the switch onto a standard DIN rail within your cabinet or enclosure.
     • Wall Mounting: If wall mounting holes are provided, use appropriate screws (not included) to mount the switch to a flat surface.
  2. Connect the Power Supply:
     • Connect a suitable DC 48-57V power supply (sold separately) to the power input terminal block on the switch. Ensure correct polarity.
     • Verify the ‘PWR’ (Power) LED indicator on the switch illuminates.
  3. Connect PoE Devices:
     • Using standard Cat5e, Cat6, or higher Ethernet cables, connect your PoE-enabled devices (e.g., IP cameras, WAPs) to any of the four RJ45 PoE ports (Ports 1-4).
     • The switch will automatically detect and supply power to compatible PoE devices. Check the PoE LED indicators for each port.
  4. Connect Fiber Uplink(s):
     • Connect your SC fiber optic cable(s) to the SC fiber ports for connection to your core network, another switch, or a remote device. Ensure you are using the correct fiber type (Singlemode or Multimode) compatible with your network infrastructure.
     • Check the Link/Activity LED for the fiber port(s).
  5. Verify Operation:
     • Check the LED indicators on the switch to confirm power, network link/activity on connected ports, and PoE status for powered devices. Your devices should now be powered on and connected to the network.

  Note: For optimal performance and safety, ensure all cabling and connections are secure and meet industry standards. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified network technician.
