The Mercusys MS106LP is a switch equipped with 6 Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps). The first 4 ports support PoE+ (802.3af/at) with a maximum power per port of 15.4W (802.3af) or 30W (802.3at). The total power budget for all ports is 40W. This product is an ideal solution for powering IP cameras, capable of supporting up to 4 cameras simultaneously, depending on their power consumption. The remaining 2 ports can be used to connect an internet source and an IP recorder. Additional features include: Port Isolation Mode – isolates traffic between ports for enhanced stability and security; Extend Mode – extends PoE range up to 250m (with bandwidth limited to 10 Mbps); PoE Auto Recovery – automatically restarts unresponsive devices. The device comes in a metal desktop-type casing and includes an external 53.5V / 0.81A power adapter.

Switch with 6 Fast Ethernet Ports

The offered product is a standard switch equipped with 6 Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps). Four of these ports support PoE+ (802.3af/at) with a total power budget of 40W. Designed primarily for monitoring applications, the device can support up to 4 cameras simultaneously, depending on their power consumption. The remaining 2 ports allow you to connect an internet source and an IP recorder. Despite its advanced capabilities, the switch remains affordable, making it an excellent choice for home networks.

4 PoE+ Outputs (802.3af/at)

The switch features a total of 4 PoE+ output ports (802.3af/at). The maximum power per port is 15.4W (802.3af) or 30W (802.3at), in line with the standard. The total power budget for all ports is 40W, making it sufficient for most IP cameras. The PoE+ power standard is widely used in various telecommunication devices, offering universal compatibility with solutions from different manufacturers.

Extend Mode

The MS106LP features a special Extend Mode that allows PoE connections to be extended up to 250 meters. This increased range comes at the cost of reduced bandwidth, which drops to 10 Mbps. When enabled, Extend Mode applies to all PoE ports.

Port Isolation Mode

When this mode is enabled, ports 1-4 are isolated from each other. This separation of traffic enhances network stability and security, preventing unnecessary communication between connected devices.

Port Priority

Ports 1 and 2 have data priority, ensuring optimal performance. Devices connected to these ports will be given higher priority, potentially reducing the performance of the other interfaces.

PoE Auto Recovery

The PoE Auto Recovery function automatically restarts unresponsive devices. If a powered device stops sending packets for an extended period, the switch will automatically reboot it. This feature saves time by eliminating the need for manual camera restarts in case of system freezes.

Plug & play

Mercusys MS106LP is a plug & play device, requiring no configuration and working immediately once powered on. The switch supports MDI/MDIX auto-crossover and automatic speed negotiation for seamless connectivity.

Desktop-Style Casing

The device features a metal desktop casing, designed for placement on a desk or shelf. Additionally, there is an option to mount the switch on the wall. The passive cooling system ensures the MS106LP operates silently, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments.
