Managed switch Extralink Minos 8x RJ45 1000Mbps PoE 200W L2

The Extralink Minos 8x RJ45 1000Mbps PoE 200W L2 is a managed Layer 2 switch designed for outdoor deployments that require gigabit connectivity and Power over Ethernet. It provides eight Gigabit RJ‑45 ports with PoE downlink and two 1000Mbps SFP uplink ports, a total switching capacity of 20 Gbit/s and a 200 W PoE power budget. The switch supports standard Ethernet protocols (IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3z) and is housed in a white, weather‑protected enclosure with active cooling for extended outdoor operation.

Advantages

The switch offers high PoE power availability with two ports capable of 90 W each and six ports providing 30 W each, enabling connection of a variety of PoE devices. Managed L2 features include VLAN support for port isolation and PoE auto‑check to verify connected devices and reboot unresponsive units. Robust protection against surges and electrostatic discharge (6 kV surge, 6 kV contact ESD, 8 kV air ESD), plus IP55 ingress protection and corrosion resistance, make the unit suitable for exposed environments. Active cooling and a 20 Gbit/s switching capacity ensure stable gigabit performance under load.

Suitable for

• Outdoor surveillance systems (IP cameras and NVR uplinks)
• Public area and campus network expansion
• Remote sites such as parks, roadsides and utility installations
• Industrial or semi‑outdoor facilities requiring PoE devices

How to use

Mount the Extralink Minos in a suitable outdoor location with access to the required fiber or uplink connection for the SFP ports and to the mains power source. Connect PoE devices to the RJ‑45 ports and configure the switch using its management interface to set VLANs, PoE schedules and other Layer 2 features. Use the PoE auto‑check to verify whether connected devices respond; the function can restart devices that do not respond. Ensure ventilation clearance for the active cooling and follow local mounting guidelines for IP55 enclosures.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, place the unit where it is protected from direct water jets and heavy debris while ensuring free airflow. Use compatible SFP modules for fiber uplinks and assign VLANs to isolate traffic where needed. Regularly check firmware updates and monitor PoE consumption to avoid exceeding the 200 W budget.
