Araknis Networks AN-320-SW-R-16-POE 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch

Managed PoE+ Switching with Cleaner Rack Cabling

The Araknis AN-320-SW-R-16-POE is a fully managed Layer 2 Gigabit PoE+ switch for home, security, AV, and business networks that need centralized power and stronger network control.

Part of the Araknis Networks family, it combines 16 rear-facing Gigabit PoE+ ports, a 250W PoE budget, dual SFP uplinks, VLANs, link aggregation, and OvrC remote management.

16 Gigabit PoE+ Ports

• 16 × 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports
• IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE/PoE+
• Maximum output per port: 30W
• Total PoE budget: 250W
• Up to 15W simultaneously across all 16 ports
• Per-port PoE control, priority, and overload protection

It can power compatible IP security cameras, access points, touch panels, and other PoE devices. Calculate each device using its maximum power draw when planning the total PoE budget.

Dual 1G SFP Uplinks

• 2 × dedicated 1Gbps SFP ports
• Supports compatible RJ45 or fiber SFP modules
• SFP uplinks do not consume one of the 16 PoE ports

SFP modules are sold separately. These are 1Gbps SFP ports, not 10Gbps SFP+.

Managed Layer 2 Network Control

• 802.1Q, port-based, and Voice VLANs
• STP, RSTP, and MSTP
• IGMP snooping and querier
• Static and LACP link aggregation
• QoS and rate limiting
• ACLs, 802.1X, and port security

These controls can help separate camera, Wi-Fi, AV, guest, and other traffic when paired with a compatible router and properly configured network.

OvrC Remote Management

OvrC provides compatible remote monitoring, firmware management, diagnostics, and network visibility. The switch also supports web-based management and CLI access.

Rear-Facing Ports and 1U Rack Design

Rear-facing RJ45 and SFP connections help keep patch cables inside the rack for a cleaner front-panel layout. If you prefer easier front access, compare the AN-320-SW-F-16-POE front-port version.

• 36Gbps switching capacity
• 16K MAC address table
• 51Mpps forwarding rate
• Dimensions: 17.32 × 1.73 × 10.23 inches
• Weight: approximately 6.23 lb
• 100–240V AC input
• Maximum consumption: approximately 297.74W with PoE load
• Operating temperature: 32°F to 122°F
• 5-year limited manufacturer warranty

This model uses active cooling. Araknis does not recommend wall mounting AN-320-SW-F/R-POE models, so rack installation with adequate airflow is preferred.

For systems powering cameras, access points, and other critical network equipment, consider an appropriate power management solution or UPS.

How many PoE ports does the AN-320-SW-R-16-POE have?

It has 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports, and all 16 support IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+.

What is the total PoE budget?

Araknis specifies a 250W total PoE budget with up to 30W available on an individual port.

Can all 16 ports provide 30W at once?

No. The switch shares a 250W total budget. Araknis specifies up to 15W simultaneously across all 16 ports.

Does it have SFP uplinks?

Yes. It has two dedicated 1Gbps SFP uplinks. Compatible RJ45 or fiber SFP modules are sold separately.

Is this a fully managed switch?

Yes. It supports VLANs, link aggregation, spanning tree, QoS, ACLs, 802.1X, port security, and other Layer 2 controls.

Why choose the rear-port version?

Rear-facing Ethernet and SFP connections keep network cabling behind the rack for a cleaner front-panel appearance.

Does it support OvrC?

Yes. OvrC provides compatible remote monitoring, firmware management, diagnostics, and network visibility.
