Switch administrable Edimax GS-5424PLC V2

The Managed Switch Edimax GS-5424PLC V2 is a 1U rack-mountable managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with 28 RJ-45 ports and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. It delivers a switching capacity of 56 Gbps, a forwarding rate of 41.6 Mpps and an 8000-entry MAC address table. The switch complies with multiple IEEE networking standards and includes long-range PoE mode, dual firmware storage for failover, and power backfeed protection to maintain reliable operation in surveillance and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The GS-5424PLC V2 supports ONVIF Profile Q for simplified discovery and configuration of compatible security devices, enabling quicker deployment of IP cameras and other ONVIF-compliant equipment. With a 56 Gbps backplane and 41.6 Mpps forwarding rate, it ensures high-throughput packet handling. Built-in power backfeed protection and per-port PoE detection reduce the risk of damage from non-standard PSEs, while dual firmware storage provides a robust failover mechanism. Long-range mode extends PoE data and power delivery up to 200 meters at 10 Mbps full-duplex on a per-port basis for remote device connections.

Suitable for

• IP camera and video surveillance systems using ONVIF-compatible devices
• PoE-enabled access points, VoIP phones and remote IoT devices
• Managed network environments requiring VLAN, QoS and IEEE-compliant features
• 1U rack deployments in small-to-medium enterprise or branch office networks

How to use

Install the GS-5424PLC V2 into a standard 1U rack and connect uplink and access devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports. Use the management interface to configure VLANs, QoS, ONVIF discovery settings and PoE parameters. For ONVIF-enabled security devices, enable Profile Q discovery on the switch and follow the device discovery workflow in the management UI or NMS. If long-range connection is required, enable long-range PoE mode on the specific ports; note that long-range operation reduces link speed to 10 Mbps full-duplex.

Recommendations

For reliable PoE deployments, verify connected devices are within the supported power budget and enable per-port PoE detection; use long-range mode only when necessary for remote devices and expect reduced link speed. Keep firmware updated and store a backup firmware image to enable quick failover if the active firmware encounters issues.
