ESP 4 Port PoE Switch - 60W

The ESP S4POE is a 4-port Power over Ethernet switch supplying up to 60W total across four PoE output ports, plus two uplink ports for network connection. Ports 1-4 deliver both data and power to PoE-compatible devices such as IP cameras, access points and VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power adapters at each device location. The switch negotiates power delivery automatically with connected devices up to the available budget.

Designed for small CCTV installations, home network extensions and office environments needing to power 3-4 networked devices from a central location, the switch fits on a desk, shelf or in a small equipment cabinet. The 126mm square footprint takes minimal space, and the metal housing provides passive cooling without a fan. Uplink ports 5 and 6 connect the switch to your main router or network, with port 5 typically used for incoming connection and port 6 available for daisy-chaining to another switch or network device.

The 60W power budget is shared across the four PoE ports, meaning the switch can supply full power to a smaller number of high-draw devices or partial power to all four ports simultaneously depending on what each connected device negotiates. Link and activity LEDs on the front panel show connection status for each port. The compact 84mm height allows the switch to sit horizontally on a surface or be mounted vertically in tight spaces.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

How is the 60W power budget distributed?

The 60W is a total budget shared across all four PoE ports. The switch negotiates power delivery with each connected device automatically. You could run four devices drawing 15W each, or two devices at 30W each, or one at 40W and two at 10W, as long as the combined draw stays within 60W.

What PoE standard does it support?

Check the product specification sheet linked in the Downloads tab for the exact IEEE 802.3af/at standard compliance. Most ESP PoE switches of this type support 802.3af (15.4W per port) or 802.3at (30W per port) depending on the connected device.

Which ports are PoE and which are uplink?

Ports 1-4 are PoE output ports (data + power). Ports 5 and 6 are uplink ports (data only) used to connect the switch to your main router or network. Port 5 is typically used for the incoming network connection.

Does it need a separate power supply?

Yes. The switch requires mains power to generate the PoE output on ports 1-4. A power adapter is included with the unit.
