FS108P
ProSafe 8 Port 10/100 Switch
with 4 Port Power over Ethernet
Affordable Power over Ethernet Switching
The ProSafe FS108P provides power and data from a single point, using Power over Ethernet
(PoE) over a single Cat-5 cable. The eight Fast Ethernet ports can be used for any 10/100
Mbps link and four of these ports can supply industry-standard IEEE 802.3af power. Advanced
auto-sensing algorithm gives power only to 802.3af end devices, so no need to worry about
damaging proprietary PoE or non-PoE equipment. In addition, it discontinues the power
when PoE devices are disconnected. Easy and reliable, the ProSafe FS108P automatically
determines PoE requirements, speed, duplex, and cable type using AutoUplink™.
The affordably priced ProSafe FS108P delivers PoE to any small business network that wants
to simplify the installation of wireless access points and IP-based surveillance cameras.
These devices are optimally installed on a ceiling or high on a wall, away from most electrical
outlets. PoE eliminates the requirement for a dedicated electrical outlet to power these
devices. This allows for flexibility in situating devices where AC power is difficult to access and
lowers installation costs. Compact and flexible, the ProSafe FS108P is ideal for small business
network that want to inexpensively use PoE to deploy wireless access points and IP-based
network surveillance cameras.
Choose to plug in up to eight Ethernet or Fast Ethernet devices and mix in up to four 802.3af
IP-based devices like wireless access points or IP-based network surveillance cameras. Place these
802.3af-compliant devices where they belong – high up on walls and ceiling for maximum coverage
– or anywhere else you need them. Power and data are carried over standard Cat-5 cabling.
The standards-based ProSafe FS108P senses and adjusts for network speed and cabling type auto-
matically, for easy integration into your existing 10/100 Ethernet network. For PoE, the switch
automatically detects 802.3af-compliant devices, and supplies power as needed. Front panel LEDs
keep you informed of switch and PoE status.

enience, it featur
es a 9-inch, durable metal case that is easily
positioned on your desktop or a wall, using the included mounting hardware. The fan-less design
quietly integrates in y

With data switching and Power over Ethernet integrated into one unit, the FS108P saves space,
r
educes cables and eliminates the r
equirement for dedicated electrical outlets – lowering installation
costs, simplifying installation of P
oE-capable devices, and eliminating the need for electricians or
extension cords. All in all a great benefit for a modest price.
