PLANET WGS-4215-16P2S is a wall-mounted managed Ethernet switch designed for industrial network applications, featuring 16 10/100/1000T 802.3at PoE+ ports and 2 100/1000X SFP fiber uplink ports.
With its compact and rugged design, it provides a reliable networking solution for wall enclosures, low-voltage cabinets, building automation systems, IP surveillance infrastructures, wireless network deployments and IoT applications where installation space is limited.
With a total PoE power budget of up to 240 watts, the WGS-4215-16P2S can deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable to IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, sensors and other PoE-enabled devices. Its IEEE 802.3at PoE+ support ensures stable performance for high-power devices, while its intelligent PoE management functions help administrators control connected devices more efficiently.
The switch includes advanced PoE management features such as PD alive check, PoE schedule, scheduled power recycling and PoE usage monitoring. When a connected powered device stops responding, the switch can automatically restart the PoE power on the related port to bring the device back online. It can also enable or disable PoE power delivery based on predefined schedules, helping reduce energy consumption and improve security outside business hours. Built with an IP40-rated metal housing and an operating temperature range of -10°C to 60°C, the WGS-4215-16P2S is suitable for demanding environments. Its hardened design provides strong resistance against electromagnetic interference and electrical surges, making it ideal for factory floors, technical rooms, traffic control cabinets, surveillance systems and industrial field applications.
The WGS-4215-16P2S supports IPv6/IPv4 dual stack management, allowing it to work with existing IPv4 networks while being ready for next-generation IPv6 network environments. It offers multiple management options including Web, Telnet, SNMP, SSH, SSL and SNMP v3, enabling administrators to configure and monitor the switch easily and securely either locally or remotely. For Layer 2 network management, the switch supports advanced features such as 802.1Q VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, MSTP, Loop Guard, BPDU Guard, IGMP Snooping, MLD Snooping, per-port bandwidth control and QoS prioritization.
These functions help manage data, voice and video traffic more efficiently and securely, ensuring reliable performance especially in IP surveillance and VoIP applications. In terms of network security, the WGS-4215-16P2S provides IPv4/IPv6 ACL, 802.1X port-based authentication, RADIUS support, protected port, DHCP snooping, IP source guard and dynamic ARP inspection. These security functions help prevent unauthorized access, protect user privacy and reduce potential network attacks. The two built-in SFP slots provide flexible fiber uplink and long-distance network extension capability. With support for 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP transceivers, the switch can be connected to backbone switches, remote monitoring centers or other network nodes over fiber. The transmission distance can be extended up to 2 km with multi-mode fiber and up to 120 km with single-mode or WDM fiber. The WGS-4215-16P2S also supports SFP-DDM, allowing network administrators to monitor real-time diagnostic parameters of SFP modules, including optical input/output power, temperature, laser bias current and transceiver supply voltage.
This makes fiber link monitoring easier and improves maintenance efficiency. With its high PoE power capacity, advanced Layer 2 management features, strong security functions, fiber expansion capability and industrial-grade durability, PLANET WGS-4215-16P2S is a professional and long-lasting networking solution for surveillance, automation, wireless LAN and IoT applications.
