Comnet CNGE11FX3TX8MSPOE Managed Poe Gigabit Switch

Product Description

The COMNET CNGE11FX3TX8MSPOE is a managed gigabit Ethernet switch designed for enterprise and industrial network infrastructure. It provides 11 total ports, including 3 SFP fiber uplink slots and 8 copper gigabit ports, with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability rated at 255 watts total budget. This switch is built for installations where network-edge devices such as IP cameras, access control panels, VoIP endpoints, and wireless access points require both data connectivity and power delivery over a single cable run. Network technicians and low-voltage integrators are the primary installers for this class of equipment.

The CNGE11FX3TX8MSPOE fits enterprise, commercial, and industrial network deployments where managed switching with fiber uplink capability is required. Its PoE power budget of 255 watts supports multiple powered devices simultaneously across the copper ports. The SFP slots allow fiber backbone connections for long-distance or electrically isolated runs, making this unit well suited for campus environments, security system backbones, and distributed network closets.

• Managed switch functionality for VLAN, QoS, and traffic control configuration
• Gigabit throughput across all copper and fiber ports
• SFP slots support fiber optic uplinks for extended-distance backbone runs
• Enterprise PoE device class suitable for commercial and industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as a managed PoE gigabit switch for enterprise network infrastructure. Compatible with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE-capable powered devices connected to the copper gigabit ports. Consult the COMNET product documentation for full interoperability and SFP module specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage network technician or licensed electrician familiar with structured cabling standards and NEC Class 2 power requirements. Power down the unit and all connected devices before making or changing wiring connections. Ensure the mounting enclosure or rack provides adequate ventilation for the switch and accounts for the full 255-watt PoE load when sizing circuit capacity. Verify SFP module compatibility before insertion and never hot-swap fiber modules without following the manufacturer installation guidelines.
