The ANPA AP-5008GE is a compact 8-port non-PoE gigabit network switch for offices, homes and small projects that need wire-speed 10/100/1000Mbps connectivity without power delivery. With eight gigabit RJ45 ports, a 16Gbps switching fabric, QoS-aware forwarding and true plug-and-play operation, it expands any Ethernet network instantly — or pairs with PoE injectors to selectively power cameras and access points only where PoE is needed. Fanless, desktop-sized and energy-efficient, the AP-5008GE keeps cost focused on bandwidth. Request a quote for volume and OEM/ODM pricing.

Product Overview
Not every network needs PoE on every port. The AP-5008GE is a pure gigabit Ethernet switch: eight auto-negotiating RJ45 ports with auto-MDI/MDIX, a non-blocking 16Gbps switching fabric so every port runs at full gigabit simultaneously, and zero configuration — connect devices and link comes up immediately. It is the straightforward choice for expanding a router, connecting wired PCs and printers, or aggregating a small workgroup.
Its most common project role is in selective PoE architectures. Instead of paying PoE premium on ports that serve non-powered devices, deploy the AP-5008GE for data and add a PoE injector at the specific ports feeding IP cameras or wireless APs. This “non-PoE switch plus injector” design lowers cost, concentrates PoE spend where it’s used, and keeps spare ports free for plain-data devices. ANPA supplies gigabit PoE injectors (such as the AP-2448GP) to complete the solution.
The lightweight compact chassis with quiet fanless design suits desktop, shelf or wall placement in offices, retail back rooms and homes, and power-saving features reduce energy draw without affecting throughput. QoS-aware forwarding keeps latency-sensitive traffic flowing smoothly when the switch is fully loaded.
Like all ANPA products, the AP-5008GE is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and manufactured in our single 15,000 m² facility in Chaozhou, Guangdong, under the 9-step quality control process with 100% inspection — 20 years of production experience backing every unit.
Application Scenarios
Office & Home Network Expansion
Add eight gigabit ports to a router or modem for wired PCs, printers, NAS and smart devices with instant plug-and-play operation and silent fanless operation.
Selective PoE with Injectors
Use the AP-5008GE for data devices and place PoE injectors only on ports powering cameras or APs — paying for PoE where it’s needed instead of across every port.
Retail & SMB Back-Rooms
POS stations, office PCs and back-office equipment get stable gigabit connectivity at non-PoE pricing, while cameras connect via injectors or a dedicated PoE switch.
Education & Lab Networks
Classrooms and computer labs need many wired gigabit drops without PoE; the AP-5008GE’s 16Gbps fabric handles simultaneous full-rate traffic from all eight ports.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the AP-5008GE provide PoE power?
No. It is a non-PoE gigabit data switch — its eight ports deliver network connectivity only, with no power over Ethernet. This keeps it cost-effective; power cameras or APs selectively using PoE injectors such as ANPA’s AP-2448GP, or choose an ANPA PoE switch.
2. How do I power PoE devices with a non-PoE switch?
Place a PoE injector inline between the switch port and the powered device (camera, AP). The injector adds power onto the cable; the switch handles data. This selective-PoE approach often costs less than a full PoE switch when only a few ports need power.
3. Is gigabit necessary for office use?
Gigabit (1000Mbps) provides generous headroom for file transfers, NAS backups, video calls and multiple concurrent users versus Fast Ethernet, and the AP-5008GE’s 16Gbps fabric means all eight ports sustain full speed at once with no bottleneck.
4. Does it need configuration?
No. The AP-5008GE is unmanaged and plug-and-play: ports auto-negotiate speed and auto-detect cable type (auto-MDI/MDIX). Power it on, connect devices, and traffic starts flowing immediately.
5. What is the difference from a PoE switch like the AP-3028GE?
The AP-3028GE provides 802.3af/at PoE on eight gigabit ports for powering cameras and APs. The AP-5008GE offers the same gigabit connectivity without power delivery, at a lower price, for pure-data networks or for pairing with injectors.
6. Can it be wall-mounted or used silently?
Yes. The compact chassis supports desktop or wall placement and runs fanless, so it operates silently in offices, retail rooms and homes with no moving parts to fail.
7. What MOQ and customization are available?
MOQ is 2 pieces, and ANPA offers OEM/ODM services including logo, color, packaging and firmware branding for distributors and integrators. Request a quote for volume pricing and lead times.
