UPS PoE Switch Mission Critical is a PoE switch for a 19-inch rack with a built-in battery that keeps access points and cameras running during an outage.

Who it suits

Suits shops, offices, clinics and other businesses where a few key devices, such as access points, cameras and door access controllers, need to keep working for a while when the power goes out. The switch is installed in a rack or cabinet, and no separate UPS is needed for the devices on its PoE ports. How long the battery lasts depends on what is connected.
