The ANPA AP-3028GE is an 8-port full-gigabit PoE switch engineered for modern high-bandwidth networks — Wi-Fi 6 access points, 4K/8MP security cameras and gigabit office infrastructure. All eight PoE ports run at 10/100/1000Mbps and support the complete IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standard, including high-power 802.3bt devices up to 60W, backed by a 120W total budget and two dedicated gigabit uplinks. With wire-speed switching, 250m extend mode, an AI watchdog and built-in QoS, the AP-3028GE delivers the throughput and PoE headroom that next-generation wireless and video demand — with the reliability of a 20-year manufacturer.

Product Overview
The AP-3028GE brings full gigabit performance to the workhorse 8-port form factor. Unlike Fast Ethernet switches that top out at 100Mbps per port, every PoE and uplink port here runs at 1000Mbps, so a Wi-Fi 6 access point can use its full multi-gigabit backhaul and a 4K camera’s high-bitrate stream — often 15–25Mbps — shares the network without compromise. A 22Gbps switching capacity ensures all ports forward at wire speed simultaneously.
Critically, the switch supports IEEE 802.3bt alongside af and at. While af provides up to 15.4W and at up to 30W, bt extends per-port power to support the newest high-draw devices — Wi-Fi 6/6E APs, pan-tilt-zoom cameras with heaters and blowers, and IoT gateways. The 120W budget comfortably supports a typical mix of eight af/at devices or several bt devices balanced across ports.
Two dedicated gigabit uplinks keep the backbone independent of PoE ports, and the same field-proven features from ANPA’s range are included: 250m extend mode for long cable runs at reduced speed, an AI watchdog that detects and power-cycles frozen APs or cameras, and DIP-selectable QoS/VLAN that prioritizes voice and video and isolates PoE traffic. Store-and-forward architecture, auto-MDI/MDIX and comprehensive per-port over-current/over-voltage/short-circuit protection round out the design.
The metal chassis supports desktop or rack placement with fanless or fan-assisted cooling (per configuration) for quiet, reliable 24/7 operation. Each AP-3028GE is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and leaves ANPA’s Chaozhou factory only after passing our 9-step quality control, including 100% inspection and full-load burn-in testing.
Application Scenarios
Wi-Fi 6 Access Point Powering
Wi-Fi 6 and 6E access points often require 30W (802.3at) or more and a full gigabit backhaul. The AP-3028GE’s bt support and 1000Mbps ports let up to eight APs run at full capacity — ideal for offices, co-working spaces, schools and retail chains upgrading wireless coverage.
4K / High-Megapixel Video Surveillance
4K and 8MP cameras generate far more traffic than 1080p units. Gigabit PoE ports and a 22Gbps switching fabric ensure multiple high-resolution streams flow smoothly to the NVR without dropped frames, while QoS protects live monitoring.
Gigabit Office Networks
Power gigabit IP phones, desktop links, APs and cameras on one switch in modern offices. Full gigabit to every port means large file transfers, cloud apps and video conferencing never wait on the network edge.
Conference Room & Meeting Space AV
Conference rooms pack PoE-powered devices — APs, PTZ conference cameras, ceiling microphones and booking panels. The AP-3028GE consolidates them with high-power bt ports and QoS for uninterrupted meetings.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt PoE?
802.3af (PoE) delivers up to 15.4W per port, 802.3at (PoE+) up to 30W, and 802.3bt (PoE++) up to 60W (Type 3) or 90W (Type 4). The AP-3028GE supports all three, auto-negotiating with the device. Choose bt support for Wi-Fi 6 APs, high-end PTZ cameras and other high-power endpoints.
2. How many Wi-Fi 6 access points can the AP-3028GE power?
It has eight gigabit PoE ports. With a 120W budget it can power up to eight af/at APs (15–30W each) in a typical mix. If several APs draw maximum bt power (60W each), plan accordingly — for dense bt deployments, consider the 16-port AP-30316GE with its 200W budget.
3. Do I need gigabit for IP cameras?
1080p cameras work fine on Fast Ethernet, but 4K/8MP cameras, multi-stream recording and smart analytics benefit from gigabit headroom. If your project specifies 4K, AI cameras or Wi-Fi 6, choose the gigabit AP-3028GE over a 10/100M model.
4. What is the switching capacity of 22Gbps?
Switching capacity is the total bandwidth the fabric can handle across all ports at once. With 10 gigabit ports (8 PoE + 2 uplink) running full-duplex, wire-speed requires ~20Gbps; 22Gbps means every port can transmit at full gigabit simultaneously without bottleneck.
5. Does the AP-3028GE support long-distance PoE?
Yes. DIP-selectable 250m extend mode carries power and data up to 250 meters on designated ports (at 10Mbps), useful for distant AP or camera placements. Standard ports run gigabit to 100 meters.
6. Is this switch managed?
It is unmanaged for plug-and-play convenience, with hardware DIP presets for QoS/VLAN and extend mode. For full web-based management — per-port control, scheduling, detailed VLANs — consider the managed AP-3344GE.
7. Can ANPA customize this gigabit switch for OEM?
Yes. ANPA manufactures the AP-3028GE in-house and offers OEM/ODM including logo, labeling, packaging, firmware and port configuration. MOQ is 2 pieces; contact us for a project quote.
