5-port gigabit switch with 1 optical port

The Cudy GS1005PTS1 is a 5-port gigabit PoE switch featuring one SFP (optical) port and a 120W power supply, ideal for powering devices and connecting fiber uplinks.

Key Features

• Ports: 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE support; 1 SFP slot for optical/fiber uplink .
• PoE Support: Port #1 supports 30W 802.3at/af and enhanced 60W output; remaining ports support 30W 802.3at/af .
• Power Budget: 120W total, sufficient for multiple PoE devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, or access points .
• Transmission Range: Extend Mode allows PoE transmission up to 250 meters on supported ports .
• Cooling and Noise: Silent cooling system ensures quiet operation, suitable for office or home environments .
• Installation: Rack-mounted design with plug-and-play setup, requiring minimal configuration .

Alternative Options

• TP-Link TL-SG1005P: 5-port gigabit PoE switch with 4 PoE+ ports and 1 non-PoE uplink port. Offers PoE Auto Recovery, Extend Mode up to 250 m, and fanless metal chassis for silent operation .
• NETGEAR GS305P: 5-port gigabit PoE+ switch with 4 PoE+ ports and 63W total power budget. Compact, fanless, and energy-efficient, suitable for small offices or home setups .

Considerations

• PoE Budget: Ensure the total PoE power meets your device requirements. The Cudy GS1005PTS1 provides a higher budget (120W) compared to some alternatives.
• Optical Connectivity: If fiber uplink is required, the SFP port on the Cudy GS1005PTS1 is essential. TP-Link and NETGEAR models may lack SFP ports.
• Deployment Environment: Fanless designs like Cudy, TP-Link, and NETGEAR ensure silent operation, ideal for noise-sensitive areas.
• Range: Extend Mode is useful for long-distance PoE deployments, especially for surveillance cameras. The Cudy GS1005PTS1 stands out as a versatile choice for users needing both PoE support and an optical uplink, while TP-Link and NETGEAR offer reliable alternatives for standard Ethernet uplinks without SFP.
