Zyxel GS1200-8HPV2 - 8-port Managed Gigabit Power over Ethernet Plus Switch, Grey

The ZyXEL 8-Port Gigabit Managed PoE+ Switch is a Layer 2 networking device for segmenting and controlling traffic in small office environments. The unit features eight RJ-45 ports with connection speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s per interface. A total switching capacity of 16 Gbit/s supports data throughput across all connected hardware. Four of the ports provide Power over Ethernet, simplifying the deployment of peripherals that require both data and electrical current. A web-based interface allows for the configuration of connected endpoints.

The switch features a metal housing designed for durability and passive heat dissipation. Its fanless design ensures silent operation in noise-sensitive workspaces. The integrated PoE+ capability provides a 60 W power budget across four designated ports, supporting equipment such as IP cameras or wireless access points. Network administrators can use VLAN support to isolate traffic types and apply Quality of Service protocols to prioritize latency-sensitive applications. Additional management tools include link aggregation for increased bandwidth and loop protection to maintain network stability.

• 4000-entry MAC address table for mapping connected devices.
• Support for 9000-byte jumbo frames to improve efficiency during large data transfers.
• IGMP snooping to route multicast traffic to requested clients.
• Port mirroring for monitoring network diagnostics and traffic.
• Maximum power consumption of 72 W under full operational and PoE load.
