This page compares ANPA’s two 4-port Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) PoE switch listings — the AP-1024MN and the AP-1024PE — so buyers can choose the right form factor with confidence. Both belong to the same 4-port, 60W, IEEE 802.3af/at/bt platform with a 1.6Gbps fabric, QoS, 250m extend mode and AI watchdog; the difference is the physical chassis and the channel configuration. The AP-1024MN is the mini-size model with its own dedicated product page (use the link below), while the AP-1024PE is documented here as its standard-chassis counterpart. Request a quote for either model with factory-direct OEM/ODM terms.

AP-1024MN — the Mini-Chassis 4-Port Switch
The AP-1024MN is ANPA’s compact, mini-size 4-port PoE switch. Its small metal enclosure is designed for wall mounting, low-voltage cabling boxes and tight retail/back-office spaces, yet it retains the full feature set: four 10/100Mbps PoE ports, two uplinks, a 60W budget, IEEE 802.3af/at/bt support, QoS, DIP-selectable 250m extend mode, AI watchdog auto-recovery and 6KV lightning protection. It is the recommended choice when space is constrained. Visit the dedicated AP-1024MN product page for full specifications, applications and FAQs →
AP-1024PE — the Standard-Chassis 4-Port Switch
The AP-1024PE denotes the same 4-port 10/100M PoE platform in the standard-size chassis, carrying the identical electrical and feature specifications: 4 FE PoE + 2 uplink, IEEE 802.3af/at/bt, 60W power budget (52V/1.15A), 1.6Gbps switching capacity, AI watchdog, QoS, stackable design, 250m extend mode and 6KV lightning protection, with an MOQ of 1 piece. Choose the AP-1024PE designation when your project standardizes on the standard enclosure or when sourcing through channels that list the part under that code. Both units are CE, FCC and RoHS certified and manufactured in ANPA’s Chaozhou factory under the same 9-step, 100%-inspection QC program.
How to Choose Between the Two
Because the electrical specifications are identical, the decision is physical. Choose the AP-1024MN when the switch must fit in a small wall box, ceiling void or space-limited cabinet, or where fanless mini form factor is specified. Choose the AP-1024PE designation for standard desktop or equipment-room placements where the standard chassis is preferred. If you need more than four ports, step up to the 6-port AP-1026MN, the 8-port AP-1028PE / AP-1028MN, or the 24-port AP-10224GE, and compare the whole range in the Fast Ethernet selection guide.
Application Scenarios
Small Shops & Boutiques (1-4 cameras)
Four-door camera setups in small retail are the classic fit; the mini AP-1024MN mounts behind the counter while the standard AP-1024PE suits a small back-office shelf.
Home & Small-Office Surveillance
Homes and micro-offices running 2-4 cameras value the silent, compact mini chassis, with 60W covering all standard and most PTZ cameras.
Satellite Wiring Points
Use either 4-port model as a satellite switch feeding a few cameras near a remote point, uplinked to a larger core.
Projects Requiring 802.3bt
Both listings support af/at/bt with 60W, a key spec when a single high-power device (e.g., a bt access point) is in the design.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between the AP-1024MN and AP-1024PE?
They are the two form-factor listings of ANPA’s 4-port 10/100M PoE switch platform. The AP-1024MN is the mini-size chassis (its own dedicated product page) and the AP-1024PE is the standard-chassis listing. Both share the same specifications: 4 FE PoE + 2 uplink, IEEE 802.3af/at/bt, 60W budget, 1.6Gbps, AI watchdog, QoS, 250m extend and 6KV lightning protection.
2. Do both support 802.3bt and a 60W budget?
Yes. As shown in the combined specification table, both listings reference IEEE 802.3af/at/bt with a 60W power budget (52V/1.15A), suitable for four standard cameras or a mix including a high-power bt device.
3. Which one should I buy for a small shop?
Choose the AP-1024MN mini chassis if mounting in a wall box or tight space; choose the AP-1024PE standard chassis for a conventional desktop/equipment-room placement. Performance is identical, so decide by space and preferred part code.
4. Where is the full AP-1024MN specification and FAQ?
The AP-1024MN has a dedicated product page at /product/anpa-ap-1024mn/ with the complete overview, application scenarios, compatible products and buyer FAQs.
5. Can these 4-port switches support 250m long-distance PoE?
Yes. The feature set includes DIP-selectable 250m extend mode (on designated ports at 10Mbps) plus 6KV lightning protection, making them suitable for long surveillance runs such as gate or perimeter cameras.
6. Are they managed or unmanaged?
They are unmanaged, plug-and-play switches with hardware DIP presets for QoS/VLAN and extend mode, plus AI watchdog for automatic device recovery — no software configuration required.
