Araknis Networks AN-320-SW-R-8-POE 8-Port Managed Gigabit PoE+ Switch

Managed PoE+ Switching for Smaller Networks

The Araknis AN-320-SW-R-8-POE is a fully managed Layer 2 Gigabit PoE+ switch for home, security, Wi-Fi, AV, and business networks that need centralized power and greater network control.

Part of the Araknis Networks family, it combines 8 rear-facing PoE+ ports, a 130W PoE budget, dual SFP uplinks, VLANs, 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: 130W
• Per-port PoE control, priority, and overload protection

It can power compatible IP security cameras, wireless access points, touch panels, and other PoE devices. Calculate each device using its maximum possible power draw when planning the 130W shared budget.

Dual 1G SFP Uplinks

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

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

Managed Layer 2 Network Control

• 802.1Q, port-based, and Voice VLANs
• Spanning Tree and link aggregation
• IGMP snooping and querier
• QoS and rate limiting
• ACLs and 802.1X authentication
• Port mirroring, logging, and cable diagnostics

These controls help organize camera, Wi-Fi, AV, guest, and other traffic when the network is properly configured.

OvrC Remote Management

OvrC provides compatible remote monitoring, firmware management, diagnostics, and switch visibility. The AN-320-SW-R-8-POE also supports web-based management and CLI access.

Rear-Facing 1U Rack Design

• 20Gbps switching capacity
• Rear-facing RJ45 and SFP connections
• Dimensions: 12.99 × 1.73 × 9.05 inches
• Weight: approximately 4.45 lb
• 100–240V AC input
• Maximum consumption: approximately 157.06W with PoE load
• Operating temperature: 32°F to 122°F
• 5-year limited manufacturer warranty

Rear-facing ports help keep network cabling behind the rack. Araknis does not recommend wall mounting its AN-320-SW-F/R-POE models, so rack installation with adequate airflow is preferred.

Need More Ports or PoE Capacity?

For a larger network, compare the Araknis AN-320-SW-R-16-POE with 16 PoE+ ports and a 250W budget.

For networks powering cameras and access points, consider an appropriate power management solution or UPS for the switch, router, and other critical equipment.

Need Help Confirming Compatibility?

Send Bear Security Shop your PoE device models, quantities, and maximum wattage. We can help confirm whether the 130W budget and 8-port capacity are right for your network.

How many PoE ports does the AN-320-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 130W shared PoE budget with up to 30W available on an individual port.

Can every port provide 30W at the same time?

No. The 30W specification is the maximum for an individual port. All connected devices share the switch's 130W total PoE budget.

Does it have SFP uplinks?

Yes. It includes two dedicated 1Gbps SFP uplinks. Compatible RJ45 or multimode fiber SFP adapters 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 features.

Does it support OvrC?

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

Why choose rear-facing ports?

Rear-facing Ethernet and SFP connections help keep network cabling behind the rack for a cleaner front-panel layout.
