Gigabit Reverse PoE Switch with Dual PoE Out for High-Speed ISP Deployments

The NETSTAR NS-8G-RP-2U is an innovative 8-port Gigabit Reverse PoE (RPoE) switch featuring intelligent power management that solves a major problem for Internet Service Providers (ISPs)—powering network devices in remote locations. This high-performance switch can be used for various applications including ONU, media converters, and wireless CPEs, eliminating the need for UPS or power backup at building tops and dramatically reducing operational costs.

Intelligent Power Management and Reverse PoE Technology

The NETSTAR NS-8G-RP-2U can be powered using any standard PoE injector (18~48VDC @ 0.5~1Amp) through the reverse PoE ports. This revolutionary approach allows the switch to draw necessary power even from a single client. ISPs no longer need to worry about arranging power for the RPoE switch and third-party ONU/ONT/media converter/wireless CPE—eliminating the need to pay building owners for 24-hour power backup. Overall, the RPoE switch saves a significant amount of money and time for ISPs.

Dual PoE Out Ports for Added Flexibility

What sets the NETSTAR NS-8G-RP-2U apart is its dual PoE out capability. In addition to standard operation, this switch features:

• Port 8 as Gigabit Data+PoE Out Uplink: Provides both Gigabit data and power output through the dedicated uplink port.

• DC Out Jack: Provides 12VDC or 5VDC output (selectable by toggle push button) for powering external devices such as ONUs or media converters.

• Flexible Uplink Configuration: Toggle slider allows selection between data uplink OR data+PoE out uplink on Port 1.

Comprehensive Port Configuration with Full Gigabit Speeds

The NETSTAR NS-8G-RP-2U features a versatile port arrangement designed for maximum deployment flexibility:

• 6 Reverse PoE Ports (Ports 2-7): 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit RPoE ports that receive both data and power from connected devices.

• 1 Uplink Port (Port 1): 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit port configurable for data uplink OR data+PoE out uplink via toggle slider.

• 1 Gigabit Data+PoE Out Port (Port 8): Dedicated port that provides both Gigabit data and power output.

• DC Out Jack: 12VDC or 5VDC output for powering external devices.

Auto-Negotiation and Non-Blocking Wire Speed

Each switch port automatically detects whether connected network devices are running at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps and adjusts the speed and mode accordingly, ensuring easy and hassle-free operation. The switch forwards and receives traffic seamlessly with its non-blocking wire-speed design, delivering reliable high-performance connectivity for all connected devices.

Port Based Isolation for Network Security

The NETSTAR NS-8G-RP-2U data from the uplink port can be transferred to any downlink port, but individual downlink ports cannot communicate with each other. Port isolation can be enabled or disabled using a toggle push button, providing network segmentation and security when needed.

Cascading Capability for Network Expansion

The NETSTAR NS-8G-RP-2U supports cascading, allowing multiple switches to be connected together for expanding network capacity and serving more users. This makes it ideal for growing ISP networks and multi-tenant buildings.

Surge Protection for Reliable Operation

Surge protection is provided on each port to protect against high voltage surges on data ports and the uplink port, ensuring reliable operation and protecting your valuable network equipment from electrical damage.

Robust and Compact Design

The NETSTAR NS-8G-RP-2U features a compact design (130×70×25mm) and lightweight construction (0.15Kg), making it easy to install in tight spaces. The switch operates in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C and consumes just 3 watts of power, making it highly energy-efficient.
