Araknis Networks AN-220-SW-R-8-POE 8-Port PoE+ Managed Switch

Managed PoE+ Switching for Smaller Networks

The Araknis AN-220-SW-R-8-POE is a fully managed Layer 2 Gigabit PoE+ switch for smaller home, security, Wi-Fi, AV, and business networks that need more control than an unmanaged switch.

Part of the Araknis Networks family, it combines 8 rear-facing Gigabit PoE+ ports, a 65W PoE budget, dual SFP uplinks, VLANs, link aggregation, and OvrC remote management.

8 Gigabit PoE+ Ports

• 8 × 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports
• IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE/PoE+
• Maximum output per port: 30W
• Total PoE budget: 65W
• Maximum simultaneous power per port: 8W
• Per-port PoE control, priority, overload protection, and power monitoring

It can power compatible IP security cameras, access points, touch panels, and other PoE devices. The 30W rating applies to an individual port, so always calculate the combined maximum power draw of all connected devices.

Dual 1G SFP Uplinks

• 2 × dedicated 1Gbps SFP ports
• Supports compatible fiber or RJ45 SFP modules
• SFP uplinks do not consume one of the 8 PoE ports

SFP modules are sold separately. These are 1Gbps SFP ports, not 10Gbps SFP+.

Managed Layer 2 Network Control

• 802.1Q, port-based, and Voice VLANs
• STP, RSTP, and MSTP
• IGMP snooping and querier
• Static and LACP link aggregation
• QoS and rate limiting
• ACLs and 802.1X authentication

These controls can help separate camera, Wi-Fi, AV, guest, and other network traffic. For Wi-Fi deployments, pair the switch with compatible wireless access points.

OvrC Remote Management

OvrC provides compatible remote monitoring, firmware updates, diagnostics, port visibility, and troubleshooting. The switch also includes a web-based management interface.

Rear-Facing 1U Design

• 20Gbps switching capacity
• 28Mpps forwarding rate
• 16K MAC address table
• Dimensions: 12.99 × 1.73 × 9.05 inches
• Weight: approximately 5.1 lb
• 100–240V AC input
• Maximum consumption: approximately 82.81W with PoE load
• Operating temperature: 32°F to 122°F

Rear-facing ports help keep network cabling behind the rack for a cleaner layout. The switch uses active cooling with multi-speed fans.

When to Choose a Larger Switch

The 65W budget is best suited to smaller PoE deployments. If you need more ports or significantly more PoE capacity, compare a larger option such as the Araknis AN-320-SW-R-16-POE.

For networks supporting cameras, access points, and other critical devices, consider an appropriate power management solution or UPS.

How many PoE ports does the AN-220-SW-R-8-POE have?

It has 8 Gigabit RJ45 ports, and all 8 support IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+.

What is the total PoE budget?

Araknis specifies a 65W total PoE budget with up to 30W available on an individual port.

Can every port provide 30W at the same time?

No. The switch has a shared 65W budget, and Araknis specifies a maximum simultaneous power level of 8W per port across all 8 ports.

Does it have SFP uplinks?

Yes. It has two dedicated 1Gbps SFP uplinks. Compatible fiber or RJ45 SFP modules are sold separately.

Is this a fully managed switch?

Yes. It supports VLANs, link aggregation, spanning tree, IGMP, QoS, ACLs, 802.1X, and other Layer 2 management functions.

Does it support OvrC?

Yes. OvrC provides compatible remote monitoring, firmware management, diagnostics, and network visibility.

Why choose the rear-port version?

Rear-facing Ethernet and SFP ports keep network cabling behind the rack for a cleaner front-panel appearance.
