WAVLINK 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, 24 x PoE+ Ports @ 250W, 2 x Gigabit RJ45 Uplink + 2 x 1000Mbps SFP Slots, IEEE 802.3af/at , Auto-MDI/MDIX, Plug & Play with 4 DIP Modes

The WL-NW2422GP is a high-performance 24-port Gigabit PoE+ switch designed for small to medium businesses, surveillance systems, and enterprise networks. With 24 PoE+ ports, 2 Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports, and 2 SFP fiber slots, this switch delivers reliable power and data transmission to connected devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and more.

Powerful PoE+ Delivery

Compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at standards, the WL-NW2422GP provides up to 30W per PoE port and a total PoE budget of 250W (with a 280W total system power output). The switch automatically detects and powers IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices, eliminating the need for separate power adapters and simplifying your cabling infrastructure. PoE power is delivered through RJ45 pins 1/2 (+) and 3/6 (-).

4 Selectable DIP Modes for Flexible Deployment

The WL-NW2422GP features four independent DIP modes that can be freely combined to adapt to different network scenarios:

When both VLAN Isolation and CCTV Extend are turned off, the switch operates in Standard Mode.

Enterprise-Grade Performance

With support for IEEE 802.3x full-duplex flow control and Backpressure half-duplex flow control, the switch ensures stable and error-free data transmission even under heavy loads.

Reliable Protection & Safety

The WL-NW2422GP is engineered for reliability in demanding environments:

1. Overload Protection Automatically cuts power to prevent damage
2. Short-Circuit Protection Safeguards connected devices
3. PoE Port Priority Ensures critical devices receive power first during overload
4. Lightning Protection ±2KV differential mode, ±4KV common mode
5. Dual Built-in Fans Keeps the switch cool during heavy PoE loads

Ideal Use Scenarios

The WL-NW2422GP is versatile enough for a wide range of applications. Here are the most common deployment scenarios:

1. IP Surveillance Systems (CCTV)

Challenge: Cameras located far from the network closet, occasional camera freeze requiring manual reboot.

Solution: Enable CCTV Extend mode for distances up to 250 meters. Enable PD-ALIVE to automatically reboot unresponsive cameras. Use VLAN Isolation to separate camera traffic from the rest of the network for security and performance.

Ideal for: Retail stores, office buildings, parking garages, warehouses, schools, and residential complexes.

2. Small to Medium Business Networks

Challenge: Need to power multiple APs, VoIP phones, and connect various office devices without complex configuration.

Solution: Use Standard Mode (both DIP switches off) for plug-and-play operation. The 56Gbps switching capacity and 41.66Mpps forwarding rate handle typical office traffic effortlessly. SFP fiber slots allow connection to a backbone network or another building.

Ideal for: Law firms, dental clinics, real estate offices, boutique hotels, and co-working spaces.

3. Enterprise Edge / Conference Rooms

Challenge: Provide network connectivity and power to meeting room devices (APs, HDMI extenders, scheduling panels) with clean cabling.

Solution: Use Port Aggregation mode to combine multiple ports for increased bandwidth to a high-demand device like a 4K video conferencing system. The 19" rackmount form factor fits neatly into AV racks or network enclosures.

Ideal for: Corporate offices, university lecture halls, government facilities, and hotel ballrooms.

4. Industrial & Outdoor Network Extensions

Challenge: Need to deploy PoE devices in electrically noisy environments or across longer distances where copper cabling is impractical.

Solution: Use the 2 x 1000Mbps SFP slots to connect fiber optic cables, providing electrical isolation and distances up to several kilometers. The built-in lightning protection (±2KV/±4KV) adds durability in areas prone to electrical surges.

Ideal for: Factory floors, solar farms, remote guard shacks, toll plazas, and outdoor stadiums.

5. Temporary Event Networks

Challenge: Quick deployment and teardown for trade shows, pop-up stores, or outdoor festivals.

Solution: No configuration needed plug-and-play. The rugged 19" metal chassis with dual fans handles extended operation. PoE allows powering of temporary APs and IP intercoms without running separate power cables.

Ideal for: Event production companies, wedding venues, seasonal retail, and emergency response teams.
