16-Port Gigabit PoE++ Managed Switch

The VIVOTEK AW-GEL-205A-260 is a rackmount Lite Managed switch with sixteen Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports. Ports 1 to 4 deliver up to 90W each under the 802.3bt standard, while ports 5 to 16 provide 30W each under 802.3at. A total PoE budget of 260W powers connected devices such as cameras or access points. Two RJ45 and two SFP uplink ports operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps.

Installers needing high-power PoE on select ports

This switch suits deployments where a few devices require up to 90W and the majority need standard PoE+ power. The 260W budget limits how many high-power ports can run simultaneously, so sites needing full 90W on every port should look elsewhere. Builders requiring Layer 3 routing or PoE budgets above 260W must choose a different model.

260W total PoE power budget

The 260W ceiling is the single figure that determines whether this unit fits the installation. Four ports at 90W would exceed the budget, so the number of high-power devices must be calculated against the cap. Port mirroring, 4096 VLAN IDs, 9216-byte jumbo frames and an 8K MAC table support managed network segmentation.

Questions about this item

Will the 16 PoE ports power my existing 802.3af cameras and 802.3at access points without configuration?

Ports 1 to 4 deliver up to 90W under 802.3bt and ports 5 to 16 supply up to 30W under 802.3at; both ranges are backward-compatible with 802.3af devices, so legacy cameras and access points will negotiate power automatically.

How can I verify the 260W PoE budget is not being exceeded once the switch is live?

The managed interface reports real-time per-port consumption and total draw; if the sum approaches 260W the switch will log an event and can disable the lowest-priority ports to stay within budget.

Does the package include SFP transceivers for the two uplink slots or must they be purchased separately?

The box contains a power cord, quick installation guide and rack-mount kit only; SFP modules for the two Gigabit SFP uplinks are not included and must be sourced separately.
