Unmanaged Switch Barox PC-PIGE401C-M

The Barox PC-PIGE401C-M is an unmanaged L2 Fast Ethernet switch with four 10/100TX RJ-45 ports that support PoE+ and one optical 100Base-FX port for multimode fiber. Designed for industrial environments, it is intended for use in video surveillance networks where up to four IP cameras can be powered directly via PoE+. The optical uplink provides a secure connection to a video center. The switch operates from a DC input of 9–56 V, has a switching capacity of 1 Gbit/s and a MAC address table of 1024 entries.

Advantages

The device offers robust, industrial-grade construction suitable for extended temperature ranges and outdoor installation. Integrated PoE+ on four ports simplifies camera installation by supplying power and data over a single cable. An optical 100Base-FX uplink reduces electromagnetic interference and enables long-distance connections. Multiple mounting options (DIN rail, wall, or table) and standardized RJ45 and SC connectors ensure flexible installation and compatibility with common network equipment.

Suitable for

• Small to medium video surveillance systems with up to four IP cameras
• Industrial network segments requiring extended temperature operation
• Long-distance uplinks to a video center via multimode fiber
• Environments where PoE+ simplifies device deployment

How to use

Install the switch on a DIN mounting rail using the supplied mounting device, or attach it to a wall or table with the provided plates. Connect up to four IP cameras to the RJ-45 PoE+ ports; the cameras will receive power and data over the same cable. Use the SC optical port with multimode fiber to create the uplink to your video center. Supply DC power within the 9–56 V range to the power input. Configure any connected network devices as required; the switch itself is unmanaged and requires no additional configuration.

Recommendations

For multimode fiber installations choose the PC-PIGE401C-M model and ensure fiber connectors and transceivers match multimode specifications. Verify camera PoE power requirements against the switch’s PoE+ capabilities and use appropriate surge protection and grounding in outdoor or industrial deployments.
