GS2028PS4-300W - Cudy 24-Port Gigabit Managed PoE+ Switch with 4 Gigabit Combo Ports 300W

The Cudy GS2028PS4-300W is a professional 24-port Gigabit PoE+ managed switch designed to deliver reliable power and connectivity for demanding business networks. This Layer 2 managed switch combines high-performance networking with a robust 300W PoE power budget, making it perfect for powering multiple Power over Ethernet devices simultaneously.

Ideal for: Small to medium-sized businesses, surveillance systems, educational institutions, and enterprises requiring centralised power distribution for IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled devices.

Built with a fanless design featuring natural cooling and housed in a durable metal chassis, the GS2028PS4-300W provides excellent heat dissipation whilst maintaining quiet operation. The switch is equipped with Texas Instruments TPS PoE chipset and Realtek switch chipset for high performance and stable operation. Lightning protection with contact 6KV and air 8KV electrostatic standards ensures your investment is protected against power surges.

The switch delivers flexible connectivity through 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports and 4 Gigabit combo ports (RJ45/SFP), plus a dedicated RJ45 console port for management. Each PoE port supports auto-sensing technology that delivers up to 32W per port with full compliance for IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE (15.4W) devices. With a switching capacity of 56 Gbit/s and MAC address table supporting 8000 entries, network performance remains consistent even under heavy loads.

• Lightning protection – Contact 6KV and air 8KV surge protection
• Compact dimensions – 445 × 285 × 45 mm (1U form factor)
• Store and Forward switching architecture for reliable data transmission

Comprehensive VLAN support includes MAC VLAN, Protocol VLAN, and Private VLAN configurations, enabling network segmentation for enhanced security and traffic management. The switch supports IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack operation with advanced features including DHCP Server, DHCP Snooping, IP source protection, and DAI (Dynamic ARP Inspection) for robust network security.

The GS2028PS4-300W supports loop detection and self-healing capabilities through STP/RSTP/MSTP protocols, whilst remote loopback monitoring and control via 802.3ah OAM ensures network reliability. Quality of Service (QoS) and IGMP Snooping v1/v2 optimise traffic flow for latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP and video streaming.

This switch works seamlessly with Cudy wireless access points including the AP3000 Outdoor and AP1300 Outdoor series, providing centralised PoE power for whole-building Wi-Fi deployments. It's also ideal for powering Cudy PoE injectors (POE200, POE300, POE350, POE400 series) and integrates perfectly with IP surveillance cameras requiring IEEE 802.3af/at power. For extended fibre connectivity, the combo SFP ports support standard Gigabit SFP transceivers, enabling long-distance network links whilst maintaining Gigabit speeds.
