Black Box Corporation LPB1205A-R2 network switch 4 PoE+ ports 30 W each 144 W total 1 uplink

Four PoE+ ports with 30 W each

The Black Box LPB1205A-R2 is a Gigabit Ethernet switch that delivers up to 30 watts per port across four PoE+ interfaces. A single 10/100/1000-Mbps copper uplink provides network connectivity. The unit supplies a total power budget of 144 watts and complies with the IEEE 802.3at standard. Diagnostic LEDs give immediate visibility of link and power status.

Suits small camera or access-point deployments

Installers who need to power a handful of 802.3at devices from one compact switch will find the 144 W budget adequate for four full-power endpoints. Networks that require more than four powered ports, a fibre uplink, or a higher total power budget should look at larger switches. The single copper uplink also limits uplink redundancy options.

Plug-and-play with automatic speed detection

Each RJ45 port negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps automatically so no manual configuration is required for basic operation. The most common issue is exceeding the 144 W total budget when multiple high-draw devices are connected, which can cause ports to shut down. Verifying each device's actual draw before deployment avoids this problem.
