6-Port Gigabit Connectivity with 4 PoE Ports

The SG106PC features six auto-negotiation 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports, including four ports with integrated PoE support (Data/Power) and two dedicated uplink ports for data transmission only. This thoughtful configuration provides:

• 4 PoE Ports (Ports 1-4): Deliver both data and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable, dramatically simplifying installation for IP cameras and wireless access points by eliminating the need for separate power outlets at each device location
• 2 Uplink Ports (Ports 5-6): Dedicated ports for connecting to your main router, network video recorder, or additional switches, providing flexible network expansion options
• Full Gigabit Speed: All ports support 1000Mbps throughput, ensuring smooth high-definition video transmission, large file transfers, and lag-free network performance
• 12Gbps Switch Capacity: Non-blocking wire-speed forwarding architecture delivers a 12Gbps backplane bandwidth with 8.9 Mpps packet forwarding rate, eliminating bottlenecks even when all ports are operating at maximum capacity
• Auto MDI/MDIX Detection: Eliminates the need for crossover cables by automatically detecting and adapting to connected cable types

Power over Ethernet – IEEE 802.3af/at Compatible

The SG106PC supports both IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards, providing flexible power delivery for a wide range of powered devices. Key PoE features include:

• Total PoE Budget: 55W across all four PoE ports, sufficient for powering multiple cameras, access points, or other network devices simultaneously
• Maximum Power Per Port: Up to 30W per port when using PoE+ (802.3at), suitable for high-power devices such as PTZ cameras, outdoor access points with heaters, and video phones
• Intelligent Device Detection: Automatically identifies compatible powered devices and delivers appropriate power levels, preventing damage to non-PoE equipment
• PoE Power Management: Smart power allocation ensures that available power is distributed efficiently across connected devices, prioritizing critical equipment when approaching the total budget limit
• Surge Protection: Built-in 4KV surge protection safeguards your valuable equipment against power spikes, lightning-induced surges, and electrical transients

One-Key VLAN and QoS Priority

The SG106PC includes advanced features typically found only in managed switches, accessible via a simple DIP switch configuration on the front panel. These features provide enhanced network control without the complexity of managed switch configuration:

• One-Key VLAN (Port Isolation): When enabled, this feature isolates ports 1-4 from communicating with each other while maintaining connectivity to the uplink ports (5-6). This is particularly valuable for surveillance deployments because:
  • Prevents broadcast storms that can degrade video quality
  • Enhances network security by isolating camera traffic
  • Eliminates unnecessary traffic between cameras
  • Ensures all camera traffic is directed to the NVR connected to the uplink port
• QoS Priority: When enabled, this feature prioritizes video and voice traffic to ensure smooth, uninterrupted streaming and clear communication. Benefits include:
  • Prioritizes real-time applications like video surveillance and VoIP calls
  • Reduces latency and jitter for time-sensitive data
  • Ensures critical traffic receives bandwidth priority during network congestion
  • Essential for maintaining video quality in multi-camera installations

These features can be enabled or disabled independently with simple DIP switch toggles, providing deployment flexibility without requiring technical networking expertise.

Technical Specifications

Plug-and-Play Installation

The SG106PC is designed for effortless deployment with zero configuration required. Simply connect your powered devices to the PoE ports, link the switch to your network via the uplink ports, and the switch automatically handles the rest. Features include:

• Auto-Negotiation: Automatically detects and configures optimal speed and duplex settings for each connected device
• Auto MDI/MDIX: Eliminates the need for crossover cables by automatically detecting cable type and adjusting accordingly
• DIP Switch Configuration: Enable advanced features like VLAN and QoS with a simple toggle – no technical expertise required
• LED Status Indicators: Clear visual feedback for power, PoE status, and link/activity on each port simplifies troubleshooting
