Unmanaged switch LevelOne GEP-2421W150 24-poorts Gigabit PoE

The LevelOne GEP-2421 series are unmanaged Gigabit PoE switches featuring 24 RJ45 PoE ports and support for IEEE 802.3af/at. These switches deliver both power and data over a single Ethernet cable to compatible PoE devices, with a total power budget selectable among 150 W, 250 W, 380 W, 500 W, or 630 W and up to 30 W available per port. Designed for small and medium businesses, the GEP-2421 series provides a cost-effective option for deploying PoE networks and can be installed on desktops or mounted in a 19-inch rack for flexible placement.

Advantages

The GEP-2421 series offers unmanaged operation for simple plug-and-play deployment, Gigabit data speeds on all 24 RJ45 ports, and IEEE 802.3af/at compatibility for powering a wide range of PoE devices. Multiple total power budget options allow selection based on deployment needs, while rack-mountable and desktop installation options provide flexible placement for different environments.

How to use

Place the switch on a desktop or mount it in a 19-inch rack. Connect Ethernet cables from PoE-capable devices to the RJ45 ports to provide both power and data over a single cable. Ensure the selected GEP-2421 model provides sufficient total power budget for the number and power requirements of connected devices. No additional configuration is required for basic operation due to the switch’s unmanaged design.

Recommendations

Verify the total power budget of your chosen GEP-2421 model before large-scale deployment and distribute high-power devices across ports to avoid exceeding the switch’s available PoE power.
