The LevelOne GEP-2021 is a 20-port unmanaged Gigabit PoE switch designed for small and medium networks that need reliable power and data for many IP devices. It provides 16x 10/100/1000Mbps PoE ports for IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points, plus 2x Gigabit RJ45 and 2x Gigabit SFP uplink ports to connect to core switches, routers or NVRs at full gigabit speed.
Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at, the GEP-2021 delivers a generous 270W PoE power budget. It supports up to 16 ports at 15.4W or 9 ports at 30W, giving flexible power allocation for standard and high-power PoE devices. Built-in 6kV surge and 6kV/8kV ESD protection help safeguard the network in demanding environments.
Front-panel DIP switches make setup simple, with hardware selection between Default and VLAN modes. In VLAN mode, PoE downlink ports are isolated to reduce broadcast traffic and improve security in surveillance and multi-tenant deployments. With plug-and-play operation, gigabit performance and robust protection, the GEP-2021 is an easy, cost-effective choice for upgrading office, building and campus PoE infrastructure.
