The PLANET FSD-803PE is a cost effective 8-Port switch with 1-Port 802.3af splitter built-in. The 8-port switch provides eight 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet interfaces that can be directly installed as a small workgroup. Port#1 of the FSD-803PE also supports 803.3af Power over Ethernet Standard.

Support dual power system, FSD-803PE either can be powered by 12VDC from the local AC outlet, or can be powered remotely through 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard. Port# 1 of the FSD-803PE supports IEEE802.3af Power over Ethernet standard that can negotiate with the remote 802.3af whether to feed the power or not. As soon as the network manager deploys the IEEE802.3af devices in the computer room such as the PLANET POE-150, the FSD-803PE can be powered from the POE equipment. For example, if there is a PC located at 200 meters away and would like to get connected, FSD-803PE would offer the most convenient way to make it. The manager needs simply to install FSD-803PE at the middle of the PC and the central network where 802.3af power over Ethernet feeding the power needed for the FSD-803PE. No additional power outlet is required.

With Auto-MDI support, FSD-803PE can direct wire to any Ethernet / Fast Ethernet devices through Category-5 UTP cable. LED indictors help diagnose the activities of the switch.
