GS408EPP

Put Your PoE Ports Exactly Where You Need Them

The NETGEAR ProSAFE® GS408EPP Easy-Mount 8-port Gigabit Ethernet
PoE+ Web Managed Switch features a unique Virtually Anywhere™
mounting system that allows to install more PoE+ ports exactly where you
need them. The unique mounting system allows you to put the Easy-Mount
Switch up in the ceiling, strapped to a pole, or mounted under a desk or
tabletop, making it the perfect switch for deploying Wireless APs, Pan/Tilt/
Zoom and fixed IP Cameras, VoIP Phones, access-limited security door locks
or any other IoT PoE-powered devices.

Should you decide to rack mount the GS408EPP switch, you can save
space by installing two (2) switches in just a single 1U slot as all connections
(power and Ethernet) are located on the front side, allowing back-to-back
installation. As a member of the NETGEAR Web Managed (Plus) Switch
family, the GS408EPP also includes a full set of soware features such as
trac prioritization, VLANs, QoS, Port Trunking/Link Aggregation and PoE
power allocation. The GS408EPP also features Energy Ecient Ethernet (IEEE

802.3az) for maximum power savings and comes with the NETGEAR Lifetime
Limited Warranty and 24/7 support including lifetime chat.

Highlights

Hardware Highlights

• 8 PoE/PoE+ ports (124W total PoE power
budget) to power up AC Wave 2 Access
Points, Pan/Tilt/Zoom Security Cameras,
VoIP/video conferencing phones, security
door locks, etc.

• Easy-Mount Virtually Anywhere mounting
system allows for wall, pole, under-surface,
in-ceiling, and even two per 1U rack slot
mounting (back-to-back) as all connections
(power and Ethernet) are located on the
front side.

• Secure placement above drop-down
ceilings, or along ventillation ducts
(plenum-rated), and where other switches
cannot go, vertical or horizontal, at or
perpendicular

• Whisper quiet 26.9dB acoustics when
operating at 25°C (77°F), well below
normal oces ambient background noise

Features and Benefits

Hardware Features Benefits

PoE/PoE+ support • All 8 ports are PoE+ for a total of 124W of power enabling powering of all types of PoE devices

• 802.3af and 802.3at Power-over-Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) for exibility of deployment

• Single wire deployment of power and network connectivity to PoE+ devices

• Perfect switch for deploying Wireless AP, IP Cameras, VoIP Phones, Access-Controlled Security Door Locks or any

other IoT PoE-powered devices

Virtually AnywhereTM Mounting • Deploy your PoE switch closest to your PoE devices

• Put your PoE ports exactly where you need them

• Orient the switch ports up, down, or out (belly-mount or spine-mount)

• Vertical, horizontal, at or perpendicular mounting

Unique 2 per 1U Rack-Mountable • Deploy more PoE+ devices in less rack space

• As both Ethernet ports and power connection are on the same side of the Easy-Mount switch, two GS408EPP

switches can fit back-to-back in a single 1U rack slot
