The ANPA AP-1028KE is an 8-port PoE switch that pairs Fast Ethernet PoE ports with a gigabit backbone — the cost-effective formula for surveillance and VoIP networks. It offers 8 PoE ports (10/100Mbps) plus 2 gigabit uplinks, IEEE 802.3af/at support, a 120W power budget, QoS and 250m extend mode for long camera runs. With a stackable metal chassis, the AP-1028KE powers eight 1080p cameras or phones while uplinking to the NVR at gigabit speed. Request a quote for volume and OEM/ODM pricing.

Product Overview
The AP-1028KE follows a proven surveillance design: 8 Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) PoE ports for cameras and phones, and 2 gigabit uplinks for the backbone. A 1080p camera uses only 2–4Mbps, so Fast Ethernet is ample per device — while gigabit uplinks ensure eight simultaneous streams aggregate to the NVR without a bottleneck. It is the value-conscious balance for pure CCTV and voice.
PoE supports 802.3af/at up to 30W per port, with a 120W budget that covers eight standard cameras comfortably and several PTZ units in a mixed load. The standout field feature is 250m extend mode: on designated ports, data and PoE travel up to 250 meters over Cat5e/Cat6 at reduced speed — ideal for perimeter, parking-lot and long-hallway cameras beyond the normal 100-meter limit.
Built-in QoS prioritizes voice and live video, and the stackable chassis supports desktop or rack placement with auto-MDI/MDIX, store-and-forward switching and per-port over-current/over-voltage/short-circuit protection. When projects later require 4K or Wi-Fi 6, the same wiring supports a drop-in upgrade to a gigabit ANPA switch.
The AP-1028KE is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and passes ANPA’s 9-step quality control, 100% inspection and full-load burn-in at the Chaozhou factory.
Application Scenarios
1080p / 4MP CCTV for Small & Mid Sites
Eight PoE ports power a full camera set for shops, offices and warehouses; Fast Ethernet suits 1080p streams while gigabit uplinks keep the NVR connection fast.
Long-Distance Camera Runs (250m)
Extend mode carries power and data up to 250 meters for perimeter and parking-lot cameras, eliminating the need for mid-span power or extra switches on long runs.
VoIP & Office Phone Deployments
Power IP phones across an office with QoS prioritizing voice quality; the gigabit uplinks connect to the business network without affecting data.
Budget-Focused Security Projects
For integrators tendering cost-sensitive CCTV jobs, Fast Ethernet PoE plus gigabit backbone delivers reliable performance at the right price.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many cameras can the AP-1028KE support?
It provides 8 PoE ports (plus 2 gigabit uplinks for the NVR/network). With a 120W budget it powers eight standard 1080p cameras (7–10W each) comfortably, or a mix with a few 30W PTZ units. The uplinks do not provide PoE.
2. Why are the PoE ports Fast Ethernet but the uplinks gigabit?
Cameras and phones need only 10/100Mbps per device, while the aggregate of eight streams benefits from a gigabit backbone. This design controls cost without creating a bottleneck to the NVR or core.
3. How does 250m extend mode work?
On designated extend ports, the switch carries data and PoE up to 250 meters over Cat5e/Cat6 at 10Mbps (trading speed for distance). Use standard mode for most ports and extend mode for the long camera runs that require it.
4. Is 120W enough for 8 PoE cameras?
Yes. Eight standard cameras at ~8W draw about 64W, leaving generous margin. Even af-maximum devices rarely sustain their rating; for multiple 30W PTZ cameras, consider the 16-port AP-10216KE with its 250W budget.
5. Can I use this switch for gigabit cameras?
PoE ports run at 10/100Mbps, adequate for 1080p/4MP cameras. For 4K/8MP multi-stream cameras or Wi-Fi 6 APs, choose a full-gigabit model such as the AP-3038GE or AP-3048GE.
6. Is the AP-1028KE managed?
It is unmanaged for zero-config deployment with hardware-style QoS and 250m extend functionality, in a stackable chassis. For full web-based management, see the AP-3344GE.
7. What MOQ and OEM terms apply?
MOQ is 2 pieces, and ANPA offers OEM/ODM including logo, labeling, packaging and firmware. Contact our sales team for a volume quotation and lead time.
