Black Box LPB1200 Series Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switch

The Black Box LPB1205A-R2 is a five-port Gigabit Ethernet switch that combines data connectivity and Power over Ethernet Plus in a small housing that fits almost anywhere. Four PoE+ ports deliver both power and bandwidth to devices, while a dedicated uplink port keeps the rest of your network clear and responsive.

Each PoE+ port can supply up to 30 watts and the switch provides a total power budget of 144 watts. This capacity is more than enough for a cluster of IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, or other PoE-powered equipment that needs to run reliably around the clock. Because the switch automatically negotiates 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps speeds, you can mix legacy gear with newer Gigabit devices without manual configuration.

Setup is straightforward. Plug your devices into the front ports, connect the uplink to your core switch or router, and watch the diagnostic LEDs for instant confirmation of link status, PoE activity, and speed. The visual feedback lets you spot cabling issues or power draw at a glance, saving time during installation and routine checks.

The casing measures only 1.1 by 4.7 by 3.5 inches, so the switch fits easily inside a wall-mount enclosure, above a drop ceiling, or on a desktop in a small office. An operating range of 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit keeps it dependable in wiring closets that run warm or in unconditioned spaces such as kiosks and warehouses.

Because the LPB1205A-R2 meets the IEEE 802.3at standard, it works safely with any compliant powered device and protects your investment as you expand or refresh your network. Whether you are rolling out a few security cameras, adding wireless coverage to a classroom, or powering sensors in a remote cabinet, this switch provides a clean and efficient way to move both power and data over a single Ethernet cable.
