High Power Delivery and Full-speed Data Transmission via 4-pair UTP Cabling

Compliant with IEEE 802.bt PoE++ technology, the IGS-4215-8UP4X boasts a total power capacity of 1440 watts. This allows it to deliver up to 95 watts of power to each remote PoE-compliant powered device (PD) using all four pairs of standard Cat5e/6 Ethernet cabling, ensuring efficient power delivery and optimal data transmission speeds. With triple the power capacity compared to conventional 802.3at PoE+, it serves as an ideal solution for power-intensive PDs such as:

  • PoE PTZ speed dome cameras
  • Network devices
  • Thin clients
  • AIO (all-in-one) touch PCs, point of sale (POS) systems, and information kiosks
  • Remote digital signage displays
  • PoE lighting

Intelligent Powered Device Monitoring

Configurable to monitor connected PD (powered device) statuses in real-time via ping action, the IGS-4215-8UP4X promptly resumes PoE port power upon PD failure, ensuring network reliability and reducing administrative burdens.

Scheduled Power Recycling for System Optimization

The IGS-4215-8UP4X enables scheduled reboots for connected PoE IP cameras or wireless access points, reducing the risk of crashes due to buffer overflow.

Energy-efficient PoE Scheduling

Aligned with energy-saving trends, the "PoE schedule" function allows users to enable/disable PoE power feeding for each port during specified intervals, aiding SMBs and enterprises in power conservation and budget management. Additionally, it enhances security by powering off unused PDs during non-business hours.

Extended PoE++ Power and Ethernet Data Transmission Range

In "Extended" mode, the IGS-4215-8UP4X delivers 40-watt PoE power output over distances up to 250 meters, surpassing the standard 100m limit on Ethernet UTP cables. This innovative feature extends PoE power reach, eliminating the need for additional cable installations and reducing costs.

Effective Alerting for Enhanced Protection

With a Fault Alarm feature, the IGS-4215-8UP4X promptly notifies users of switch issues, saving time and human resources typically spent on issue detection.

Digital Input and Output for External Alarming

Supporting Digital Input and Output via an upper panel terminal block, the switch allows for external device status detection (e.g., door intrusion detection) and event alarms sent to administrators. Digital Output can also alert administrators of port status changes.

Rugged Design for Harsh Environments

Encased in an IP30 aluminum industrial case, the IGS-4215-8UP4X offers immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges common in industrial settings without air conditioning. Operating in temperatures from -40 to 75 °C, it suits a wide range of challenging environments.

Robust Protection Features

The IGS-4215-8UP4X provides ±6KV DC contact discharge and ±8KV DC air discharge for Ethernet ESD protection. It also supports ±4KV surge immunity, enhancing product stability and safeguarding networks from ESD attacks.

IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management

Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the IGS-4215-8UP4X facilitates SMBs' transition to the IPv6 era without the need for network overhauls.

Advanced Layer 2 Functionality

The switch supports dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), loop and BPDU guard, IGMP snooping, and MLD snooping for advanced switch management. With dynamic port link aggregation, it creates high-speed trunks, such as a resilient 40Gbps connection with fail-over support.

Efficient Traffic Control

Loaded with robust QoS features and powerful traffic management, the IGS-4215-8UP4X ensures optimal performance for business-class data, voice, and video solutions. Features include storm control, per port bandwidth control, QoS priority and remarking, ideal for VoIP and video stream transmission.

Enhanced Network Security

With comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL), the IGS-4215-8UP4X fortifies network security at the edge. It can restrict network access based on various criteria, alongside 802.1X port-based user and device authentication, ensuring port-level security. Additionally, the switch's protected port function safeguards user privacy, while port security limits network devices on a port.

Network Integrity Assurance

Providing DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions, the IGS-4215-8UP4X prevents IP snooping attacks and discards ARP packets with invalid MAC addresses.

User-friendly and Secure Management
