10/100/1000 MBPS INTELLIGENT REDUNDANT RING

GIGABIT SWITCH WITH OPTIONAL POE+

v1.4 August 17, 2015

The ComNet CNGE2+2SMS[POE][HO] is a four port intelligent switch with light

management functionality. It provides two 10/100/1000Base-T(X) copper ports and

two 100/1000Base-FX SFP ports. The CNGE2+2SMS[POE][HO] provides exclusive

functionality for easy field deployment including DIP switch based operation of

RSTP for creating redundant network topologies as well as preventing network video

flooding of multicast traffic when used in a linear or star topology. Ports 1 and 2 can

optionally supply up to thirty (30) watts of power per port based on the IEEE 802.3at

standard. An optional High Output (HO) version is also available that can supply up

to sixty (60) watts of PoE from ports 1 and 2. This product is fully compatible with the

ComNet exclusive Copperline SFP modules for operation over extended distance UTP

or Coax cable.
