The Linksys Business LGS308MP PoE+ Smart 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch offers the efficiency, security and scalability needed to support your growing business. This high-powered network switch dramatically streamlines installation of peripheral devices and eliminates the need for dedicated electrical wiring thanks to Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), which allows network cables to transfer power. With 130 total watts dedicated to PoE+, the smart network switch delivers substantially more power than ordinary PoE switches-making it ideal for supporting expansive surveillance cameras, door access control systems, ProAV systems, access points, video VoIP phones and other demanding applications.
