5-Port Power over Ethernet Switch: CEN-SW-POE-5 Introduction The CEN-SW-POE-5 is a five-port unmanaged Ethernet switch designed to provide standards-based IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability from four ports. The CEN-SW-POE-5 powers Crestron 802.3af-compliant powered devices such as the CEN-WAP-ABG-1G wireless access point.
A straight-through or crossover cable can be used to connect to any port on the CEN-SW-POE-5. Using auto MDI/MDI-X operation, the port automatically detects the cable type that is used. 2 • 5-Port Power over Ethernet Switch: CEN-SW-POE-5 Crestron CEN-SW-POE-5 Installation Guide – DOC. 6694A...
