PLANET GSW-1820VHP 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ 2 SFP Network Switch

16-Port PoE+ Switch with 300 W Budget

The PLANET GSW-1820VHP is an unmanaged 1U rack-mountable switch that provides sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports and two 1000BASE-X SFP uplinks. It delivers IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE+ on every copper port with a total power budget of 300 W. An integrated LCD PoE monitor displays real-time power consumption per port. The unit operates from a 100-240 V AC supply and supports jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes.

Suits IP Camera and Access Point Deployments

Installers who need to power up to sixteen Class 3 devices or eleven Class 4 devices from a single switch will find the 300 W budget sufficient for most mid-size surveillance or wireless networks. The unmanaged design means no configuration is required, making it a fit-and-forget solution for environments without dedicated IT staff. Buyers who require VLANs, QoS, SNMP monitoring or redundant power inputs should look at managed alternatives, as this model provides none of those features.

300 W Total PoE Budget Decides Capacity

The single specification that determines whether this switch fits a project is the 300 W PoE power budget. It allows a maximum of sixteen Class 2 or Class 3 powered devices, but only eleven Class 4 devices drawing up to 30 W each. Adding more high-power endpoints than the budget supports will cause ports to shut down or devices to fail, so the total planned draw must stay within 300 W.
