Black Box Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit PoE+ Switch - 8-Port
The Black Box Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit PoE+ Switch is engineered for demanding environments where uptime, power, and performance matter most. This rugged 8-port switch combines plug‑and‑play simplicity with robust, dual‑redundant power inputs to deliver non‑stop connectivity for mission‑critical installations. Ideal for industrial settings, surveillance systems, automated manufacturing, transportation hubs, and remote sites, it provides reliable Gigabit networking and PoE+ power on every port, simplifying the deployment of IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other powered devices. With a purpose‑built enclosure designed to withstand harsh conditions, this switch minimizes maintenance while maximizing uptime in environments where traditional office switches would struggle.
- Redundant power design with two 12-57 VDC inputs; the primary DC input feeds normal operation, while the backup input automatically takes over if the primary fails, ensuring continuous network service.
- Eight Gigabit PoE+ ports deliver both data and power over standard Ethernet cabling, enabling easy installation of powered devices without separate power sources.
- Unmanaged, plug‑and‑play operation means you can deploy quickly with no complex configuration or software; simply connect devices and power, and the network is ready.
- Each port provides 50 VDC PSE power output, enabling a wide range of PoE+ devices to be powered directly from the switch, reducing cabinet clutter and wiring complexity.
- Rugged industrial‑grade enclosure optimized for extreme environments; designed to endure vibration, dust, and temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for harsh industrial and outdoor installations.

How to install Black Box Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit PoE+ Switch - 8-Port
- Plan your network layout by assigning each PoE+ port to a powered device and ensuring cable paths are tidy and secure.
- Connect devices to the 8 PoE+ ports using Cat5e/6 Ethernet cables rated for PoE; verify cable quality and labeling.
- Open the terminal block and connect the primary DC power source to the primary input, then connect the backup power source to the secondary input as labeled.
- Power on the switch and the connected devices; because the unit is unmanaged, power and data connectivity should be established automatically.
- Place the switch in a ventilated area with protection from dust and moisture; secure mounting as needed and organize cables to promote airflow and reliability.
Frequently asked questions
- What is PoE+ and which devices can I power with this switch? - PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) supplies both data and power over Ethernet to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones, and other PoE-enabled equipment directly from the switch ports.
- Is this switch easy to deploy in an industrial setting? - Yes. It is designed as an unmanaged, plug-and-play solution with rugged housing suitable for harsh environments, requiring no complex configuration.
- How does the dual redundant power input work? - The switch supports two independent DC power inputs. If the primary supply fails or is removed, the backup supply automatically takes over to maintain network uptime.
- Can I mount this switch in a cabinet or rack? - The unit is designed for industrial installations and supports compact mounting in typical equipment cabinets or on workbenches, with a rugged enclosure built to endure challenging conditions.
- What maintenance is required after installation? - Routine checks focus on confirming power sources are stable, cables are intact, and the environment remains within the switch’s operating conditions; there are no software updates or configurational requirements for basic operation.
