The ANPA AP-1028MN packs eight Fast Ethernet PoE ports into a mini-size metal chassis — delivering the port count of a full-size 8-port PoE switch in a footprint built for tight spaces. It provides eight 10/100Mbps PoE ports (IEEE 802.3af/at) with a 120W power budget, plus two uplink ports for the NVR or core, and keeps QoS and a stackable design in a fanless enclosure that wall-mounts or tucks into compact wiring boxes. It is the ideal 8-port choice where cameras are plentiful but rack space is not. Request a quote for wholesale and OEM/ODM terms.

Product Overview
Eight PoE ports are the sweet spot for retail stores, SMB offices, clinics and hospitality sites — and the AP-1028MN delivers them in ANPA’s compact mini form factor. Eight 10/100Mbps ports power IP cameras, APs and VoIP phones with 802.3af/at auto-negotiation, while the 120W budget supports all eight standard cameras (7–10W each) with margin for higher-draw PTZ units. Two additional uplink ports aggregate traffic to the NVR/network.
The mini chassis is engineered for constrained installations. It wall-mounts, sits on a desktop or fits standard low-voltage boxes, runs fanless for silent 24/7 operation near customers or staff, and uses a metal enclosure for heat dissipation and durability. A 1.6Gbps switching fabric with QoS keeps video and voice prioritized even when all eight ports are active.
As an unmanaged switch it works straight out of the box — no configuration, no software. Its stackable design means multiple mini units can be grouped to grow capacity on larger floors. Each AP-1028MN is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and produced in ANPA’s Chaozhou, Guangdong factory under the same 9-step quality control, full-load burn-in and 100% inspection regime as the rest of the range.
Application Scenarios
Retail Chains & Franchise Stores
Standardize on one mini 8-port switch per store to cover entrance, point-of-sale, aisle and stockroom cameras. The fanless compact chassis mounts discreetly in back-office or ceiling boxes across hundreds of locations.
SMB Offices & Clinics
Power up to eight cameras plus APs/phones in a small office, dental clinic or agency, with QoS protecting voice and video and two uplinks to the router/NVR.
Hospitality & Dining
Hotels, restaurants and cafes value the silent fanless design in guest-facing areas while covering lobbies, kitchens and perimeter doors with eight PoE ports.
Space-Constrained Wiring Closets
Where no rack exists — kiosks, temporary sites, renovated buildings — the mini chassis installs in shallow cabinets or on walls, and multiple units stack for extra ports.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between the AP-1028MN and AP-1028PE?
Both are 8-port Fast Ethernet PoE switches with a 120W budget and IEEE 802.3af/at support. The AP-1028MN is the mini chassis variant — a smaller, fanless enclosure for tight spaces and wall mounting — while the AP-1028PE uses the standard-size chassis. Choose by installation space; the port and power specifications are equivalent.
2. Can the 120W budget handle eight PoE cameras?
Yes. Eight standard cameras at roughly 8W draw about 64W total, and even eight af-max devices would rarely approach the budget continuously. Mixed loads with PTZ cameras (up to 30W each) are fine as long as total draw stays under 120W.
3. Is the mini chassis reliable for 24/7 use?
Yes. It uses a metal enclosure for heat dissipation, runs fanless (so there are no moving parts to fail), and is built to the same CE/FCC/RoHS and 9-step QC standards as full-size ANPA switches, including full-load burn-in testing.
4. Does it support QoS and VLAN?
It supports QoS for video/voice priority out of the box. The mini platform is unmanaged, so advanced per-port VLAN configuration is not included; for full web-managed VLAN/QoS control see the managed AP-3344GE.
5. How is it mounted?
The compact metal chassis supports desktop placement or wall mounting and fits most standard low-voltage/structured-cabling boxes. Multiple units can be stacked/grouped to expand port count at one location.
6. Do the two uplink ports provide PoE?
No. The eight 10/100Mbps ports provide PoE; the two uplink ports connect to the NVR, router or core switch for network aggregation and do not supply power.
7. What are the MOQ and OEM options?
MOQ is 2 pieces. ANPA provides OEM/ODM customization — logo/labeling, packaging, firmware branding and default configuration — from its own factory. Contact us for a quotation.
