Cudy FS1018PS1 Network Switch 18 Fast Ethernet Ports PoE

The PoE switch provides a 200 W total power budget and supports up to 30 W for a single PoE port, complying with IEEE 802.3af/at standards. It is designed for reliable power delivery to devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones and Wi‑Fi access points, while preventing damage to non-standard PoE devices or standard PoE switches.

Advantages

The built-in PoE watchdog monitors remote device connections and automatically restarts a device if a fault is detected, ensuring continuous operation. The switch is plug-and-play and fanless for silent use. Its metal housing offers durability and improved heat dissipation for stable performance in various environments. Pin assignment follows Mode A: 1/2(+), 3/6(-).

Key specifications

• Total PoE power budget: 200 W
• Maximum power per PoE port: 30 W
• PoE standards supported: IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at
• PoE watchdog: automatic monitoring and restart of faulty remote devices
• Design: plug-and-play, fanless
• Housing: metal case for durability and heat dissipation
• Pin assignment: Mode A (1/2(+), 3/6(-))
• Typical applications: IP cameras, VoIP phones, Wi‑Fi access points

How to use

Install the switch in a suitable location with adequate ventilation. Connect powered devices to the PoE ports; the switch will supply up to 30 W per port within the 200 W total budget and negotiate power according to IEEE 802.3af/at. For non-standard PoE devices, verify compatibility before connecting. No configuration is required for basic operation—the device is plug-and-play.

Recommendations

When deploying multiple high‑power devices, plan the total power consumption so it does not exceed the 200 W budget. Place the switch in a dry, dust‑free environment and allow space around the metal case for heat dissipation. For critical surveillance or VoIP setups, test device restart behavior to confirm the PoE watchdog restores connectivity as expected.
