The Araknis Networks AN-220-SW-R-8-POE is built for installers who need PoE+ power and real Layer 2 management, but still want an install that stays clean and fast. It delivers 8 gigabit ports with PoE+ capability up to 30W per port, making it a strong fit for small PoE builds like camera drops, access points, touch panels, and other networked endpoints in residential and light commercial environments.
What separates the 220 Series from basic PoE switches is manageability. You get a user-friendly web GUI and a solid set of Layer 2 management features to help you control traffic, troubleshoot issues, and keep the network predictable. For support workflows, OvrC enablement gives you remote monitoring and management, which can reduce truck rolls and speed up diagnostics.
From a service standpoint, features like dual firmware images help lower the risk of a bad update. You also get firmware upgrade paths via TFTP, HTTP, and OvrC, plus persistent logging and remote logging, which matters when you are diagnosing intermittent issues. Port mirroring supports one-to-one and many-to-one scenarios, useful for capturing traffic and validating what is happening on the wire. Add rear-facing ports for cleaner rack cable management and a sleek 1U design, and this becomes a practical managed PoE switch for AV racks, smart homes, and small business networks where you want visibility, control, and reliable PoE delivery.
