The NET-SW24-12POE Network POE Switch provides power and data from a single point, using Power over Ethernet (PoE) over a single Cat-5 cable.  This POE switch can be used to power up to 12 POE capable IP cameras, however, because the max total POE output is 100 watts CCTV Camera Pros typically supplies this switch for systems with up to 8 POE cameras, as most IP cameras draw 12 watts each.  The 24 Ethernet ports can be used for any 10/100 Mbps link and twelve of these ports can supply industry-standard IEEE 802.3af power. Advanced auto-sensing algorithm gives power only to 802.3af end devices, so no need to worry about damaging proprietary PoE or non-PoE equipment. In addition, it discontinues the power when PoE devices are disconnected. Easy and reliable, the NET-SW24-12POE automatically determines PoE requirements, speed, duplex, and cable type.
