Cudy GS1018PS2 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch Product Guide
Product Overview
The Cudy GS1018PS2 is a high-performance 16-port Gigabit PoE+ switch designed for versatile network expansion in business, office, and home environments. It provides 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support 802.3at/af Power over Ethernet (PoE) alongside two dedicated Gigabit uplink ports and two SFP slots for fiber-optic expansion. With a substantial 200W total power budget, it is an ideal solution for powering bandwidth-intensive hardware such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.
This switch combines reliable power delivery with advanced management features, including a built-in PoE Watchdog for automated system recovery and VLAN isolation for enhanced security. Its durable metal casing and fanless design ensure silent, stable operation even in noise-sensitive settings.
Key Features
- High-Power PoE+ Delivery: Offers 16 Gigabit PoE+ ports with a 200W total power budget, supporting up to 30W per individual port.
- Flexible Fiber Expansion: Equipped with two 1.25G SFP slots for long-distance network connections.
- Intelligent PoE Watchdog: Monitors connected devices and automatically reboots the corresponding PoE port if a device freezes or stops transmitting data for five minutes.
