Transition Networks Managed Hardened PoE+ Switch — 24-Port PoE+ with 4 SFP Uplinks

Engineered for reliability in demanding environments, the Transition Networks Managed Hardened PoE+ Switch delivers robust power-over-Ethernet capabilities paired with scalable fiber uplinks for industrial networks. This 24-port PoE+ switch combines rugged, industrial-grade construction with enterprise-grade management features, making it an ideal solution for security cameras, IP phones, access control systems, wireless access points, and other edge devices deployed on factory floors, warehouses, campuses, and transportation hubs. Designed to thrive in harsh conditions, it provides durable performance, precise control, and dependable uptime where standard consumer switches simply won’t cut it.

• 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports: Power and data on every port in a single Ethernet run. This enables seamless deployment of PoE devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, access controllers, and wireless APs, reducing cable clutter and eliminating the need for separate power drops. The PoE+ capability (IEEE 802.3at) ensures sufficient power delivery to demanding devices while preserving data throughput for reliable, uninterrupted operation.
• 4 x 100/1000BASE-X SFP uplinks: Flexible fiber connectivity supports long-distance links and network segmentation. These SFP ports accommodate a range of transceiver types for reliable fiber connections, enabling high-bandwidth links between edge switches, aggregation points, and core networks. This uplink versatility helps you design scalable star or spine-leaf topologies without sacrificing performance.
• Fully managed with enterprise-grade controls: A comprehensive management stack includes a user-friendly web GUI and CLI for deep configuration. Features typically include VLAN support (including 802.1Q tagging), QoS prioritization for voice and video, SNMP for monitoring and alerts, LLDP for topology discovery, port mirroring for troubleshooting, and robust security options to safeguard the network perimeter and data streams. With these tools, you can tailor traffic handling, segment networks, and maintain consistent service levels across critical applications.
• Rugged, industrial-grade design for harsh environments: Built to withstand challenging conditions, the switch employs a sturdy metal chassis and optimized thermal management to manage heat in dusty, vibration-prone, or elevated-temperature settings. The enclosure typically offers enhanced protection against dust, humidity, and other environmental factors, making it suitable for manufacturing floors, outdoor enclosures, and remote sites where standard IT gear would fail prematurely.
• Flexible mounting and deployment options: With support for DIN-rail mounting and wall-mount configurations, this switch can be integrated into control cabinets, electrical panels, or telecom racks with ease. Its compact footprint and resilient construction simplify installation in tight spaces and help maintain organized, accessible cabling for ongoing maintenance and future upgrades.

How to install Transition Networks Inc Managed Hardened PoE+ Switch

• Plan your installation: Assess the site for environmental conditions, power availability, and network topology. Verify that the chosen location provides adequate ventilation and clearance for cabling, cooling, and access to the management interface.
• Prepare mounting locations: Choose between DIN-rail or wall-mount mounting depending on your cabinet or enclosure. Install the appropriate mounting brackets and ensure the unit is firmly secured to prevent vibration or movement during operation.
• Connect power and cables: Attach a stable power source to the switch and route the 24 PoE+ RJ45 cables to powered devices (cameras, phones, controllers, sensors). Connect the 4 SFP uplinks to your fiber or copper modules and link them to the rest of your network topology.
• Initial configuration: Access the management interface via the default IP address or console port. Configure the device’s IP settings, enable VLANs (as required by your network design), assign QoS policies for critical traffic, and enable PoE on ports delivering power to devices. Consider setting up SNMP traps, syslog servers, and user accounts with role-based access control for secure management.
• Security, monitoring, and validation: Implement ACLs or access controls, disable default credentials, and enable ongoing monitoring of port status, power consumption, temperature, and fan speed (if applicable). Validate connectivity by testing device onboarding (camera streams, VoIP calls, sensors) and verify that PoE devices receive power without interruption across peak loads.
