The Lorex AEX8 8-Port ePoE Switch is engineered to expand and simplify wired security camera installations, delivering both power and data to compatible PoE cameras over extended distances. Designed for professional surveillance systems, this managed network switch features eight PoE enabled ports that support standard PoE (IEEE802.3af), PoE+ (IEEE802.3at) and Hi-PoE power delivery — making it ideal for powering multiple high-performance cameras from a central recorder or network backbone.
With advanced ePoE technology, this switch can transmit power and data up to 800 meters, offering flexible camera placement far beyond traditional PoE limits and reducing the need for additional power sources close to every camera. It supports various transmission modes and plays a key role in building scalable wired security networks for large properties, commercial buildings, and multi-zone surveillance deployments.
