AP-3028GE — the 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch
The AP-3028GE is ANPA’s workhorse 8-port full-gigabit PoE switch. It provides eight 10/100/1000Mbps PoE ports and two gigabit uplinks, supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt (including high-power Wi-Fi 6 APs and PTZ cameras) with a 120W budget, and features a 22Gbps wire-speed fabric, QoS and a stackable design. It is the default choice for gigabit surveillance, wireless and VoIP at SMB scale. Visit the dedicated AP-3028GE page for full specifications, applications and FAQs →
AP-3024GE — the Companion Part Code
The AP-3024GE code is grouped with the AP-3028GE in the same gigabit unmanaged platform listing (8 GE + 2 GE uplink, 10/100/1000Mbps, IEEE 802.3af/at/bt, 120W power budget, 22Gbps, QoS, stackable). When sourcing, use the AP-3028GE dedicated page for the detailed 8-port specification, and tell ANPA the part code shown on your documentation so the correct configuration is matched. Buyers needing fewer gigabit ports can also step down to the web-managed 4-port AP-3344GE for managed features, or stay with the Fast Ethernet family for 1080p-only CCTV.
Choosing Port Count in the Gigabit Range
Pick gigabit when endpoints need 4K/8MP video, Wi-Fi 6 backhaul or high local throughput. Choose the 8-port AP-3028GE for 5-8 powered devices; for more, the 16-port AP-30316GE (200W, SFP) scales up; for a handful of devices with full management, the 4-port AP-3344GE provides web-managed VLAN/QoS. Compare all options in the gigabit series selection guide, and review the Fast Ethernet guide when gigabit is not required.
Application Scenarios
Wi-Fi 6 Access Point Deployments
802.3bt support and gigabit ports make this family suitable for modern Wi-Fi 6/6E APs, with the 120W budget covering a typical mix of high-power access points.
4K / 8MP CCTV Systems
Gigabit edge ports handle multi-stream 4K cameras without the frame drops possible on Fast Ethernet uplinks, with QoS protecting live monitoring.
Mixed Office & Surveillance Networks
SMBs combine cameras, APs and VoIP on one gigabit platform; QoS prioritizes voice/video while 8 GE ports cover most single-closet sites.
Scalable Stacked Deployments
The stackable design lets integrators add units as a site grows, keeping gigabit behavior consistent across closets.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between AP-3028GE and AP-3024GE?
Both are part codes within ANPA’s gigabit unmanaged PoE switch platform. The AP-3028GE is the detailed 8-port model (8 GE PoE + 2 GE uplink, 120W, 802.3af/at/bt, 22Gbps, QoS, stackable) with its own product page; the AP-3024GE is the companion code grouped in the same family listing. Confirm the required port count and code when requesting a quote.
2. Do these switches support 802.3bt high power?
Yes. The gigabit platform supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt, enabling power for Wi-Fi 6 access points and other high-power endpoints, with a 120W total budget across the PoE ports.
3. How many Wi-Fi 6 APs can an 8-port gigabit switch power?
Up to eight PoE ports with 120W total covers a typical mix of af/at APs; if several APs draw maximum bt power, balance the load or move to the 16-port, 200W AP-30316GE.
4. Where is the full AP-3028GE specification and FAQ?
The AP-3028GE has a dedicated page at /product/anpa-ap-3028ge/ with complete overview, application scenarios, compatible products and detailed buyer FAQs.
5. Should I choose gigabit or Fast Ethernet?
Choose gigabit for 4K/8MP cameras, Wi-Fi 6 and data-heavy office use; Fast Ethernet (the AP-10xx series) is sufficient and more economical for 1080p CCTV and VoIP.
6. Is the platform managed?
The gigabit unmanaged platform works plug-and-play with QoS and stackable features. For full web management (VLAN, scheduling, per-port control), choose the managed AP-3344GE.
7. How do I request pricing?
