The ANPA AP-3028PE is a 24-port non-PoE Fast Ethernet network switch built for structured cabling in offices, schools, hotels and property networks. It provides twenty-four 10/100Mbps access ports plus two gigabit copper uplinks in a standard 19-inch rack-mount chassis, with QoS, VLAN uplink isolation and fan-cooled reliability. Despite the “PE” suffix, this model is a plain data switch — no PoE power delivery; it concentrates wired endpoints and trunks them to a gigabit core, making it the cost-efficient access layer for high-density non-PoE cabling.

Product Overview
When an equipment room must terminate a full cabinet of Cat5e/Cat6 runs from offices, classrooms or hotel rooms, a rack-mount 24-port access switch is the standard solution — and most of those endpoints (wired PCs, printers, IP phones with local power, smart panels) do not need PoE. The AP-3028PE serves exactly that role: 24 Fast Ethernet access ports deliver 10/100Mbps to the wall plate, while two gigabit uplinks aggregate the group toward the router or core without a Fast Ethernet bottleneck.
The switch supports QoS for prioritizing latency-sensitive traffic and VLAN-style isolation on uplinks, allowing administrators to keep access traffic segmented before it reaches the core — useful in multi-service buildings where data, voice and guest access should remain separated. Status LEDs per port and gigabit uplink indicators make patching and diagnostics straightforward in crowded racks.
Important for ordering clarity: although the model number carries a “PE” suffix, the AP-3028PE is a non-PoE switch — its ports do not supply power. Projects requiring power over Ethernet on the access layer should pair it with PoE injectors where individual cameras or APs need power, or select ANPA’s PoE switches such as the gigabit 24-port AP-30324GE. The rack-mount metal chassis with standard rack ears installs in any 19-inch cabinet, and fan cooling sustains continuous operation under full port load.
Every AP-3028PE is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and manufactured in ANPA’s single 15,000 m² Chaozhou, Guangdong facility across 8 production lines, under the 9-step QC process with 100% inspection and burn-in testing.
Application Scenarios
Structured Cabling Access Layer
Terminate 24 office, classroom or guest-room wall ports in one rack unit and trunk the group over gigabit uplinks — the standard access switch for wired building networks.
Schools & Training Rooms
Computer labs and classrooms with many wired PCs need dense, cost-effective Fast Ethernet access with gigabit uplinks; the AP-3028PE delivers exactly that in a rack-mount form factor.
Hotels & Multi-Tenant Buildings
Guest rooms and tenant offices connect via wired drops; VLAN-ready uplinks keep services segmented toward the core while non-PoE economics suit endpoints powered locally or via injectors.
PoE-Selective Deployments
Where most ports serve data and only a few feed cameras or APs, use the non-PoE AP-3028PE with PoE injectors for those ports — or deploy a PoE rack switch like ANPA’s AP-30324GE when powered ports dominate.
Why Choose ANPA
ANPA has manufactured PoE and fiber networking equipment since 2006 — 20 years of production experience. Every switch, converter and accessory is built in our single 15,000 m² facility in Chaozhou, Guangdong (with a dedicated R&D center in Shenzhen), across 8 production lines and 16 sets of assembly and test equipment. Our 3 R&D engineers and 7 QA/QC specialists enforce a rigorous 9-step quality control process with 100% inspection, full-load burn-in and CE, FCC and RoHS certification on every batch.
- 24 Fast Ethernet access ports + 2 gigabit uplinks in a standard 19-inch rack-mount chassis.
- Non-PoE economics for dense wired cabling; pair with injectors for selective power needs.
- QoS and VLAN uplink isolation for segmented multi-service building networks.
- Built in ANPA’s 15,000 m² Chaozhou factory with 100% burn-in inspection; CE/FCC/RoHS.
Compatible & Related Products
When most ports must power devices, choose the gigabit 24-port PoE switch AP-30324GE; add selective power with the AP-2448GP PoE injector. Desktop gigabit needs are met by the AP-5008GE; managed options include the 12-port AP-3312GE; fiber uplinks use the AP-SFP-MC converter.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the AP-3028PE provide PoE?
No. Despite the “PE” in the model number, this is a non-PoE data switch: the 24 access ports and 2 gigabit uplinks do not supply power. It is designed for wired data endpoints; use PoE injectors or an ANPA PoE switch (e.g. AP-30324GE) where cameras or APs need power.
2. What ports does it have?
Twenty-four 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet access ports for connecting wall outlets and endpoints, plus two gigabit 10/100/1000Mbps uplink ports for trunks to the router, core switch or NVR. It mounts in a standard 19-inch rack.
3. Why use Fast Ethernet access ports with gigabit uplinks?
Office PCs, printers and similar endpoints rarely need more than 100Mbps, while the aggregated traffic of 24 ports benefits from gigabit uplinks to the core. This combination keeps per-port cost low without creating an uplink bottleneck.
4. How do I power cameras if the switch isn’t PoE?
Two common approaches: add PoE injectors inline on the specific ports feeding cameras/APs, or deploy a PoE switch for that zone. ANPA offers both injectors (AP-2448GP) and rack-mount PoE switches such as the 24-port gigabit AP-30324GE.
5. Can it segment networks like a managed switch?
It supports QoS and VLAN-style isolation on the uplinks for basic segmentation, but full web-managed features (per-port VLANs, mirroring, scheduling) belong to ANPA’s managed range such as the AP-3312GE or AP-3348GE.
6. Is it rack-mountable and fan-cooled?
Yes. The AP-3028PE includes rack ears for standard 19-inch cabinets and uses fan cooling for sustained operation with all 24 ports active in equipment rooms.
7. What are the MOQ and OEM terms?
MOQ is 1 piece, and ANPA provides full OEM/ODM customization — logo, packaging, firmware and documentation branding — as the manufacturer. Request a quote for project pricing and lead times.
