Expert Features

• 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Powerhouse : Ports 1–16 provide Gigabit Ethernet with IEEE 802.3at/af Mode A PoE, supplying up to 30W per port for compatible IP cameras, access points, signage, and other PoE devices.
• Dedicated Uplink Flexibility : Beyond the 16 PoE ports, you get 2 additional Gigabit RJ45 uplinks + 2 Gigabit SFP slots, keeping uplink traffic separate from powered edge devices and giving copper or fiber options.
• 200W Integrated Power Supply : The built-in 200W AC power supply supports demanding multi-device deployments without an external power brick hanging around the rack.
• Intelligent PoE Power Management : If total power demand exceeds the available budget, the switch protects operation by automatically disconnecting the most recently powered device rather than allowing the entire network to become unstable.
• PoE Watchdog Auto Recovery : Enable Watchdog and the switch monitors port activity; if a connected device becomes inactive for 5 minutes, the corresponding PoE port can automatically reboot it. Excellent for remote IP cameras and access points that occasionally freeze.
• 250m Extend Mode : Ports 9–16 can reach up to 250 meters over Cat 5e or better when Extend Mode is enabled, with speed intentionally reduced to 10Mbps for long-distance links.
• Hardware VLAN Isolation : Activate VLAN Mode to isolate downstream ports 1–16 from one another while maintaining communication with uplink devices—useful for improving client separation without complicated software configuration.
• 40Gbps Switching Capacity : A maximum 40Gbps switching capacity and 29.76Mpps forwarding rate give the switch the backbone performance needed for simultaneous Gigabit traffic.
• 15KB Jumbo Frames : Supports up to 15KB Jumbo Frames, plus a 3Mbit packet buffer and 2048-entry MAC table for efficient wired-network traffic handling.
• Serious Electrical Protection : Rated protection includes 6kV contact / 8kV air ESD, plus surge protection up to 4kV common-mode on power and RJ45, helping improve reliability in real installations.
• Shielded Metal Construction : Shielded Ethernet ports and a robust metal enclosure give the GS1018PS2 the durable physical build expected from 24/7 business networking gear.
• Rack or Desktop Deployment : The full-width 440mm chassis supports desktop placement or standard 19-inch rack mounting, with the mounting kit included.
