Throw in dual Gig-E Uplinks for increased bandwidth and redundancy, port authentication and MAC filtering, VLAN tagging and a whole lot more, and you’ve got value that’s difficult to beat.

The major difference between the two models is that the SRW208MP, or “Maximum PoE” model, provides a full 15.4W of power per port, whereas the SRW208P version supports 15.4W of power up to 4 ports, and then drops down to 7.5W of power per port on up to 8 ports.
