How to Select an Industrial PoE Switch for a Security Project
Start with the number of powered devices, required PoE load, uplink type and network-management needs. This guide compares ERAITOK models for protected, cabinet-based security networks.
Four selection checks
Define the project before choosing the switch
CHECK 2
PoE power load
Check the total required PoE load and size the external DC power supply for switch consumption plus the required load.
CHECK 3
Copper or fibre uplink
Choose RJ45 for copper-only layouts or an SFP-equipped model when the project requires a fibre Ethernet uplink.
CHECK 4
Management and resilience
Use an unmanaged model for simple deployment or a managed model when the project requires VLAN, monitoring or ring protection.

Match port count, uplink and management requirements
| Model | Typical fit | Interfaces | PoE budget | Management |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IES-5E-P | Compact 4-device PoE edge | 4 × Gigabit PoE+ RJ45 + 1 × non-PoE Gigabit RJ45 | Up to 120 W total PoE budget | Unmanaged |
| IES-8E-P | 8-device copper network | 8 × Gigabit PoE+ RJ45 | Up to 240 W total PoE budget | Unmanaged |
| IES-2F8E-P | 8-device network with fibre uplinks | 8 × Gigabit PoE+ RJ45 + 2 × 1000Base-X SFP | Up to 240 W total PoE budget | Unmanaged |
| IES-2F8E-P-M2 | Managed 8-device network | 8 × Gigabit PoE+ RJ45 + 2 × 1000Base-X SFP | Up to 240 W total PoE budget | Layer 2 managed; ERPS recovery time of 20 ms or less |
| IES-4F16E-P-M2 | Managed 16-device network | 16 × Gigabit PoE+ RJ45 + 4 × 1000Base-X SFP | Up to 240 W total PoE budget | Layer 2 managed; G.8032 ERPS recovery time below 20 ms |
Remote SC fibre option
Paired media converters for a remote Ethernet connection
IES-1F1E and IES-1F2E-P form a matched SC fibre data link. The fibre link carries Ethernet data only. At the remote location, IES-1F2E-P requires local DC input and supplies PoE only through its two RJ45 ports.
Single-fibre or dual-fibre configuration and 20 km, 40 km or 60 km transmission-distance variants are selected before ordering.
