Selection Notes

Rear ports route cabling behind the rack instead of the front, matching cabinets wired from the back; a front-port sibling and AC-supplied siblings cover the other mounting/power combinations in this design. The 24 V DC, 46 W supply and eight PoE-capable ports are unchanged from the front-port variant, so the choice here is purely about cable routing direction.

Applications

Machine or process-cell aggregation switch feeding PoE-powered cameras or WLAN access points alongside conventional Gigabit Ethernet devices, in cabinets wired from behind the rack.
