Note: We recommend that you use a Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable or higher‑rated cable for Gigabit Ethernet connections.
To use the SFP port, you must insert an SFP transceiver module, which you can purchase from NETGEAR.
This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.
Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information.
When you connect the power cord to the switch and plug it into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status:
LED | Description | |
Power | Solid green: The switch is powered on and operating normally. | |
Off: Power is not supplied to the switch. | ||
PoE Max (The status of the switch's PoE budget.) | Off: Sufficient (more than 7W of) PoE power is available. | |
Solid yellow: Less than 7W of PoE power is available. | ||
Blinking yellow: At least once during the previous two minutes, less than 7W of PoE power was available. | ||
Left port LED | Solid green: 1000 Mbps link on this port. | |
Blinking green: 1000 Mbps activity on this port. | ||
Solid yellow: 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps link on this port. | ||
Blinking yellow: 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps activity on this port. | ||
Off: No link is detected on this port. | ||
Right Port LED | Solid Green: The port is delivering PoE power. | |
Off: The port is not delivering PoE power. | ||
Solid yellow: A PoE fault occurred. |
The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT) lets you discover the switch in your network and access the local browser interface of the switch from a Mac or a Windows‑based computer.
To install the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, discover the switch in your network, access the switch, and discover the switch IP address:
We recommend that you use the wall‑mount screws that are included.
Note: The screws are 6.5 mm in diameter, 16 mm in length.
PoE power supplied by the switch is prioritized in ascending port order (from port 1 to port 15):
This table shows the standard power ranges without overrides applied, calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters). If a device receives insufficient PoE power from the switch, consider using a shorter cable.
Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
PoE Fault Condition | Possible Solution |
A PoE‑related short circuit occurred on the port. | The problem is most likely with the attached PD. Check the condition of the PD, or restart the PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD. |
The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded the maximum level that the switch permits. The maximum level is 15.4W for a PoE connection and 30W for a PoE+ connection. | |
The PoE current on the port exceeded the classification limit of the PD. | |
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the range that the switch permits. | Restart the switch to see if the condition resolves itself. |
