ANPA’s 10/100M Fast Ethernet PoE switch series gives installers, distributors and security integrators a complete, standardized range of unmanaged PoE switches — from a 4-port mini unit for a single shop to a 24-port, 400W rack-mount core for building-wide deployments. Every model shares the same reliable platform: IEEE 802.3af/at auto-sensing PoE, 250m long-range extend mode, AI watchdog self-healing, QoS for video and voice, and CE/FCC/RoHS certification. Because the entire family comes from one manufacturer — ANPA’s own 15,000 m² factory in Chaozhou, Guangdong — you get consistent firmware, consistent quality and consistent supply across every port count.

Fast Ethernet PoE Series Overview
Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) PoE switches remain the best-value choice for the majority of surveillance, VoIP and wireless-AP installations. A 1080p IP camera streams 2–4Mbps; even 24 cameras together rarely exceed 100Mbps — so paying for gigabit on every PoE port is often unnecessary. ANPA’s 10/100M series delivers reliable PoE power and data at a lower total project cost, reserving budget for cameras, cabling and labor.
All models support IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) and 802.3at (30W) with per-port auto-detection and a full suite of protections: over-current, over-voltage, short-circuit and surge protection on every port. The 250m extend mode (DIP-switch selectable) pushes power and data up to 250 meters at 10Mbps for long camera runs, while the AI watchdog automatically power-cycles frozen devices to minimize site visits. Hardware QoS/VLAN presets prioritize video and voice and can isolate PoE ports from the uplink.
The series is designed to scale with a project. Start with a four-port mini for a small shop, standardize on eight-port units for branch offices and hotel floors, and deploy 16- or 24-port rack switches as aggregation cores. Common accessories — such as the AP-104EX PoE extender — work across the range for long-distance cascades. Every switch is manufactured under ANPA’s 9-step QC process with 100% inspection and burn-in testing.
Model Comparison & Selection Guide
Match the port count to your powered-device count and the power budget to your device mix. As a rule of thumb, budget ~15W per af device and ~30W per at/PTZ device, and choose a switch whose total budget exceeds your planned draw with 20–30% headroom.
| Model | PoE Ports | Speed | PoE Standard | Power Budget | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AP-1024MN | 4 PoE + 2 uplink | 10/100Mbps | 802.3af/at | 60W | Mini size, 250m extend, AI watchdog |
| AP-1028PE | 8 PoE + 2 uplink | 10/100Mbps | 802.3af/at | 120W | QoS, 250m extend, AI watchdog |
| AP-10216KE | 16 PoE + uplink | 10/100Mbps | 802.3af/at | 200W | Rack-mount, 250m extend, AI watchdog |
| AP-10224KE | 24 PoE + 2 GE + SFP | 10/100Mbps | 802.3af/at | 400W | Gigabit uplink, SFP, rack-mount |
Application Scenarios
Security & CCTV Installers
The series covers the full range of camera counts: 4-port for small shops and homes, 8-port for retail and SMB, 16/24-port for warehouses, schools and building complexes. Standardize on one platform to simplify stocking, training and support.
Distributors & Resellers
A complete 4/8/16/24-port line from a single factory means simpler ordering, consistent quality and unified OEM branding. ANPA supports private-label logo, packaging and documentation across the range.
SMB & Office Networks
Offices use the 8- and 16-port models for IP phones, Wi-Fi APs and door access, with QoS keeping calls and video clear. Fast Ethernet is sufficient for voice and most wireless backhaul at SMB scale.
Hospitality & Multi-Dwelling Units
Hotels and apartments deploy one switch per floor or closet to power in-room APs and cameras, with 24-port models acting as building cores and mini switches filling weak-current boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I choose between a 4-port, 8-port, 16-port and 24-port PoE switch?
Count the PoE devices (cameras, APs, phones) you need to power and add 1–2 spare ports for future devices. Use a 4-port for 1–4 devices (small shops/homes), 8-port for 5–8 (retail/SMB), 16-port for 9–16 and 24-port for 17–24 or as a dense-floor core. Then verify total device wattage is below the switch’s power budget.
2. Is Fast Ethernet (10/100M) enough for IP cameras?
Yes for most CCTV. A 1080p camera uses 2–4Mbps and a 4MP camera roughly 6–8Mbps, so a 100Mbps port handles multiple streams comfortably. Choose gigabit only for 4K/8MP multi-stream cameras, Wi-Fi 6 APs or heavy local data — see our gigabit series.
3. What power budget do I need?
Estimate per-device draw (af devices up to 15.4W, at/PTZ up to 30W) and total it, then add 20–30% headroom. Four standard cameras fit a 60W switch; eight fit 120W; sixteen to twenty-four need 200W–400W depending on device mix.
4. Do all models in the series support 250m long-range mode?
Yes. ANPA’s Fast Ethernet PoE switches include DIP-selectable 250m extend mode, which carries power and data up to 250 meters on designated ports at 10Mbps. Exact port assignments vary by model — check the specification table.
5. What is the difference between the AP-10xx and AP-30xx series?
The AP-10xx series is Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) and optimized for CCTV and VoIP at the best value. The AP-30xx series is gigabit (10/100/1000Mbps) and supports 802.3bt high-power for Wi-Fi 6 APs, 4K cameras and data-intensive networks.
6. Can I mix and match switches from the series in one project?
Yes — and it’s recommended. Use 24-port switches as cores and 4/8-port units in satellite closets, all from the same ANPA platform for consistent behavior. Connect them via uplinks or SFP fiber on the larger models.
7. Does ANPA provide OEM/ODM across the whole series?
Yes. ANPA manufactures the entire range in-house and offers private-label branding, custom logos, packaging, firmware and configuration for distributors. MOQs are low (from 1–2 pieces depending on model). Contact us for a quotation.
