Managed PoE+ Switch 48 Gigabit Ports + 4x SFP+ 10G, 740 W – DCN S4600-52X-P-SI

DCN S4600-52X-P-SI — 48 PoE+ ports and 4× 10G for powering cameras, APs and IP phones from a single device

The DCN S4600-52X-P-SI is a managed L2+ switch with 48 Gigabit RJ45 PoE+ ports and 4 SFP+ 10G ports for aggregation and uplinks. The total PoE budget of 740 W powers dozens of IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points and VoIP phones over a single cable — with no separate power supplies. The 176 Gbps switching fabric and 131 Mpps throughput ensure full non-blocking operation on all ports. A device for surveillance installers, network integrators and administrators who need a reliable PoE access switch with a 10G uplink.

How many devices does the 740 W budget power?

The 740 W PoE budget is a large power reserve for an access installation. A typical IP dome camera draws 5–12 W, a PTZ or heated camera up to 25–30 W (PoE+), and a Wi-Fi 6 access point usually 12–20 W. For example: 740 W is enough for about 60 IP cameras at an average of 12 W, or ≈ 40 APs at 18 W, or any mix of cameras, APs and VoIP phones (≈ 5–7 W each). Each of the 48 ports supports PoE+ (802.3at) up to 30 W, so you can freely power even power-hungry devices as long as you do not exceed the total 740 W budget.

Proven manufacturer, support in Europe

DCN (Digital China Networks) is a manufacturer of carrier- and enterprise-class switches with a long-standing market presence. The European branch DCN Europe belongs to the Salumanus group — owner of the Fibermarkt store — so the warranty is handled within the EU and technical support is provided with no language barrier. The device complies with the IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.1Q standards, which guarantees full interoperation with other manufacturers' network equipment.

Key features

• 48× Gigabit RJ45 with PoE+ — each port 10/100/1000 Base-T powers devices per IEEE 802.3af/at up to 30 W.
• 740 W PoE budget — a large power reserve for dozens of cameras, APs and IP phones at once.
• 4× SFP+ 10G — 1/10G Base-X ports for aggregation and fibre uplinks on optical modules.
• 176 Gbps fabric, 131 Mpps — full, non-blocking throughput on all ports.
• L2+ layer — static routing, VLAN 4K, ACL and QoS for order in the access network.
• VSF stacking — combining several switches into a single logical stack managed from one address.
• 16K MAC table — support for a large number of hosts in the network segment.
• Jumbo frames up to 10K — more efficient transfer of large amounts of data.
• Cisco IOS-style CLI — familiar vlan, switchport, channel-group commands; also Web GUI.
• Port security — 802.1X, Port Security, DHCP Snooping, Storm Control.
• 1U rack chassis — metal, for a 19" cabinet, dimensions 440×44×320 mm.
• AC 230 V power — ready for standard installation, draw ≤ 897 W at full PoE.

Applications — for installers, integrators and administrators

IP video surveillance: a single switch powers and connects up to 48 IP cameras — dome, PTZ and bullet — with no separate power supplies. The 740 W budget handles even cameras with heaters and IR illuminators of the PoE+ class.

Wi-Fi networks in offices and hotels: Wi-Fi 6 access points powered via PoE+ over a single UTP cable, and the 10G SFP+ uplinks remove the bottleneck under heavy wireless traffic.

VoIP telephony and office: IP phones, computers and printers in a single switch with VLAN segmentation — separate networks for voice, data and guests, with QoS prioritisation of voice traffic.

Aggregation and access layer: four SFP+ 10G ports serve as uplinks to the network core or for linking switches in a VSF stack, and static L2+ routing lets you separate subnets without an additional router.

Management like on Cisco switches — familiar CLI

DCN provides a command-line interface in the Cisco IOS style. An administrator who has worked on Cisco hardware configures the S4600-52X-P-SI without starting from scratch — the same vlan, switchport access/trunk, channel-group commands and show diagnostic commands work almost identically.

Example syntax similar to Cisco IOS. You can do the same in the Web GUI without the CLI.
