The ANPA AP-1026MN fills the gap between 4-port and 8-port PoE switches with a purpose-built 6-port mini Fast Ethernet PoE switch. It powers up to six IP cameras, wireless APs or VoIP phones over IEEE 802.3af/at with a 90W power budget, and provides two additional uplink ports for the NVR/network — all in a compact, fanless metal mini chassis that fits in tight wiring boxes, wall mounts and small retail back-offices. With QoS and a stackable design, it is the cost-matched choice for installations that need a little more than four ports without paying for eight. Request a quote for volume pricing and OEM branding.

Product Overview
The AP-1026MN is designed around a common real-world requirement: five or six PoE devices at one location. Rather than buying an 8-port switch and leaving ports unused, installers get exactly six 10/100Mbps PoE ports plus two uplinks. The 90W budget comfortably powers six standard cameras (about 7–10W each) and leaves room for a PTZ camera or wireless AP, with 802.3af/at auto-negotiation protecting every device from over/under-powering.
Its mini metal chassis is the defining feature. The small, rugged enclosure supports desktop or wall mounting, fits most standard low-voltage and structured-cabling boxes, and runs fanless for silent operation in customer-facing areas and enclosed spaces alike. Despite the size, it retains a 1.6Gbps switching fabric and QoS handling, so video and voice traffic are prioritized during bursts.
The switch is unmanaged for zero-config deployment: connect uplinks and devices and it forwards traffic immediately. A stackable design allows multiple mini units to be grouped where a site grows beyond six ports. Every AP-1026MN is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and manufactured in ANPA’s single 15,000 m² Chaozhou factory, where 8 production lines and a 9-step QC process with 100% inspection keep mini-switch quality consistent at volume.
Application Scenarios
Small Retail & Convenience Stores
A typical shop needs 4–6 cameras (entrance, counter, aisles, stockroom). The AP-1026MN powers all six in one fanless mini unit that mounts behind the counter or above a drop ceiling, with QoS keeping point-of-sale-era monitoring smooth.
Restaurants, Cafes & Salons
Dining and service venues mix 4–6 cameras with a wireless AP and a VoIP phone. The 90W budget and silent, compact chassis suit front-of-house mounting where noise and space matter.
Small Offices & Home Businesses
Offices with up to six cameras/APs and one NVR get a tidy, wall-mountable switch that fits in a structured-cabling box, leaving rack and desk space free.
Distributed Satellite Closets
Larger sites deploy AP-1026MN units in zone closets as satellite switches, uplinked to a core 24-port model like the AP-10224GE — matching port count to local demand instead of overbuying.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is the AP-1026MN different from an 8-port PoE switch?
It has six PoE ports instead of eight, in a smaller mini chassis with a 90W budget. It is aimed at sites with exactly five or six PoE devices, so you do not pay for unused ports — while keeping two uplink ports for the NVR/network.
2. Can a 90W budget power six cameras?
Yes. Six standard IP cameras drawing 7–10W each total roughly 42–60W, leaving comfortable headroom. Even with a high-wattage PTZ camera (up to 30W) in the mix, six devices stay within the 90W af/at budget in typical use.
3. Does the mini switch support QoS?
Yes. QoS prioritizes latency-sensitive video and voice traffic, so camera feeds and VoIP calls remain smooth even when burst traffic occurs on the network. The feature works out of the box on the unmanaged platform.
4. Can the AP-1026MN be wall-mounted or installed in a cabling box?
Yes. Its compact mini metal chassis supports desktop or wall mounting and fits most standard low-voltage/structured-cabling boxes. It runs fanless, so it is silent and suitable for enclosed or customer-facing spaces.
5. Is this switch managed?
No — it is unmanaged for plug-and-play deployment. Connect the uplinks and PoE devices and power negotiation, speed sensing and traffic forwarding begin automatically. QoS operates with default video/voice priority.
6. What does ‘stackable’ mean for a mini switch?
Stackable means multiple AP-1026MN units can be grouped/installed together to expand port count with consistent behavior — for example, two mini units cover 12 PoE ports at a site that grows beyond a single switch.
7. What is the MOQ and can it be OEM-branded?
The AP-1026MN has an MOQ of 10 pieces, well suited to distributor and installer stock orders. ANPA offers OEM/ODM customization including logo/labeling, packaging and firmware branding — request a quote for volume terms.
