Image 1.1: The MokerLink Outdoor 10 Port Gigabit PoE Switch, designed for outdoor use, shown connected to surveillance cameras. It features full Gigabit ports, IEEE802.3af/at support, plug & play functionality, SFP fiber connectivity, wall/pole installation options, and waterproof design.
2. Product Features
- 10 Gigabit Ports: Equipped with 8 Gigabit PoE ports and 2 Gigabit SFP ports, all supporting 1000Mbps data rates for high-performance data exchange. The 2 SFP ports (modules not included) allow for optical fiber connections, suitable for long-distance outdoor transmission.
- IEEE802.3af/at PoE Support: Features a built-in power supply with a maximum output of 96W. Ports 1-8 support IEEE 802.3af/at standards, providing up to 30W per port. Note: This switch does not support passive 24V PoE.
- Plug & Play Operation: Includes a power cord with a wiring terminal for direct connection to the switch's power input, designed with anti-reverse connection protection. Network cables connect directly to PoE devices, with automatic detection, requiring no configuration.
- Outdoor Weatherproof Design: Constructed with an industrial-grade ABS polymer material shell. All power and cable interfaces are protected within the shell, offering enhanced waterproof, dustproof, and snowproof capabilities, making it suitable for outdoor environments and complex indoor settings like warehouses or attics.
- Flexible Installation: LED indicator lights on the front panel provide clear operational status. Pendants on the back support both wall and pole mounting options.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power On
Once all connections are secure, apply power to the switch. The switch will automatically detect and power connected PoE devices.
5.2 LED Indicators
The front panel features LED indicators to display the operating status of the switch:
- PWR (Power indicator):
- On: Powered on
- Off: Powered off
- Link/Act indicator (1-10):
- On: Link connection normal
- Off: Link off
- Flashing: Data transmitting
- PoE Indicator (1-8):
- On: Power device connected
- Off: No powered or no PoE device

7. Troubleshooting
- No Power: Ensure the power cable is correctly connected to the terminal block and the power source. Check the PWR LED indicator. If it's off, verify the power supply.
- No Link/Activity: If the Link/Act LED is off for a connected device, check the network cable connection at both ends. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly. Try a different cable or port.
- PoE Device Not Powering On: Check the PoE Indicator for the specific port. If it's off, ensure the connected device is a PoE-compatible device (IEEE 802.3af/at). Verify the device's power requirements do not exceed 30W per port or the total 96W budget. This switch does not support passive 24V PoE.
- Slow Network Speed: Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps). Check for excessive network traffic or faulty cables.
- Intermittent Connection: Check all cable connections for looseness or damage. Ensure the switch is installed in a stable environment and not subject to extreme vibrations.
8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols. Ensure all ports are free from dust and debris.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect all connected network and power cables for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, especially in outdoor installations. Replace damaged cables immediately.
- Environmental Check: Ensure the switch's operating environment remains within the specified temperature range (up to 60°C). While weatherproof, avoid prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight or extreme weather conditions if possible, to extend product lifespan.
- Firmware Updates: Check the MokerLink official website periodically for any available firmware updates. Follow the instructions provided with the update carefully.
