Tycon Power Universal Voltage 10/100 POE Switch

Meet the Tycon Power SW5 Series, a compact and reliable 5-port Ethernet switch engineered for effortless Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployment. Designed to simplify small-to-medium scale installations, this series delivers automatic PoE power to connected devices while maintaining fast, dependable data transfer. Whether you’re powering IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, or other PoE-enabled devices, the Tycon Power Universal Voltage 10/100 POE Switch provides a smart balance of performance, flexibility, and value. The SW5 family includes four models tailored to different voltage and network needs, with the TP-SW5G-D variant offering robust gigabit performance and PoE compatibility for more demanding setups.

• 5-port PoE switch with up to 2A per port. Each PoE-capable port can deliver substantial power to compatible devices, enabling reliable, centralized power delivery without extra injectors or cables. This makes it ideal for small office corridors, retail counters, or remote surveillance points where space and simplicity matter.
• IEEE 802.3af/at compliant (TP-SW5G-D). The TP-SW5G-D model supports industry-standard PoE negotiation, guaranteeing safe, energy-efficient power delivery to compatible devices while protecting both the switch and the powered devices. This compliance ensures compatibility with a wide range of PoE-enabled IP cameras, wireless APs, phones, and other devices.
• Gigabit-capable model for fast backhaul (10/100/1000 Mbps). The TP-SW5G-D variant brings gigabit performance to the uplink and connected devices, ensuring smooth video streams, rapid data transfers, and responsive network behavior even as you scale devices on your network.
• Universal voltage concept with multiple SW5 models. The SW5 series is designed to accommodate different input powers across its four models, enabling flexible deployments in environments where power availability and standards vary. This versatility makes it easier to integrate into existing infrastructure without compromising performance.
• Simple, automatic operation for plug-and-play deployment. The SW5 family is built for straightforward installation with automatic detection of PoE requirements and seamless data transmission. No complex configurations or tiered management are required, so you can bring devices online quickly and reliably.

• Power management: Fully automatic PoE power negotiation to maximize efficiency and device compatibility while maintaining network performance.
• Ideal use cases: Surveillance systems (IP cameras), wireless access points, VoIP endpoints, and other PoE-enabled devices in small to mid-sized deployments.

How to install Tycon Power Universal Voltage 10/100 POE Switch

• Place the switch on a stable surface or in a suitable rack/c cabinet as needed for your installation footprint.
• Connect your network uplink to the appropriate port on the SW5 switch using a standard Ethernet cable. This establishes the data path for your PoE devices.
• Connect PoE devices (IP cameras, access points, phones, etc.) to any of the available PoE ports on the switch using additional Ethernet cables. The connected devices will automatically negotiate power requirements with the switch.
• Provide the required power to the switch itself if your model requires a separate power input (for example, a 48VDC supply on supported variants). Ensure the power source is stable and within the voltage range specified for your model.
• Power up the system and verify device activity. Look for PoE indicator LEDs on each port and confirm that connected devices are receiving power and data transmission begins without manual configuration.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the Tycon SW5 series best used for? The SW5 series is ideal for small to mid-sized deployments requiring a compact, reliable PoE switch to power IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled devices while delivering straightforward, plug-and-play networking.
• Is the TP-SW5G-D model IEEE 802.3af/at compliant? Yes. The TP-SW5G-D variant supports IEEE 802.3af/at, enabling safe negotiation and power delivery to PoE devices that require up to the higher power profiles defined by 802.3at.
• How much power can each port deliver? Each PoE-enabled port can deliver up to 2A of power, allowing vibrant performance for compatible devices, subject to overall power budget and device requirements.
• Are these switches managed or unmanaged? The SW5 series is designed for automatic operation with plug-and-play functionality. They are typically used as unmanaged PoE switches in small networks, focusing on ease of deployment rather than advanced management features.
• Do all four SW5 models support gigabit speeds? Gigabit data speeds are available on models like TP-SW5G-D, which support 10/100/1000 Mbps. Other SW5 variants may offer 10/100 Mbps performance depending on the model specifications.
