PoE Switches
A PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch sends both power and data to your cameras or access points down a single network cable, so you don't need a separate mains adaptor at each device. This range covers 10 PoE switches for building or extending a wired CCTV or network setup.
PoE switches sit between your recorder or router and your cameras, giving each connected device a data link and power in one cable run. This simplifies installs where running mains power to a camera position isn't practical.
How to choose
- Number of ports needed — count your cameras or access points, plus any spare ports for future expansion.
- Compatibility — check the switch works with the PoE standard your cameras or NVR expect before buying.
- Placement — decide where the switch will sit (near the recorder, in a cabinet, etc.) and whether cable runs to each camera are within a sensible distance.
- Existing kit — if you already have an NVR or router, confirm the switch will slot into that setup rather than replace it.
Match the switch to the number of devices you're powering now, leave a little headroom for extra cameras later, and confirm PoE compatibility with your specific cameras before ordering.
PoE Switches — frequently asked questions
What does a PoE switch actually do?
It sends power and network data to devices like cameras through a single Ethernet cable, removing the need for a separate power supply at each one.
How many ports do I need?
Count the cameras or access points you want to connect, then add a few spare ports if you might expand the system later.
Will a PoE switch work with my existing cameras or NVR?
Check the PoE standard your cameras or recorder expect and confirm the switch supports it before buying, as compatibility varies between devices.
