Highlights
Affordable Power over Ethernet Switching
The ProSAFE FS108P provides power and data from a single point, using Power 
over Ethernet (PoE) over a single Cat-5 cable. The eight Fast Ethernet ports can 
be used for any 10/100 Mbps link and four of these ports can supply industry-
standard IEEE 802.3af power. Advanced auto-sensing algorithm gives power only 
to 802.3af end devices, so no need to worry about damaging proprietary PoE or 
non-PoE equipment. In addition, it discontinues the power when PoE devices are 
disconnected. Easy and reliable, the ProSAFE FS108P automatically determines 
PoE requirements, speed, duplex, and cable type using Auto Uplink™.
The affordably priced ProSAFE FS108P delivers PoE to any small business 
network that wants to simplify the installation of wireless access points and  
IP-based surveillance cameras. These devices are optimally installed on a 
ceiling or high on a wall, away from most electrical outlets. PoE eliminates the 
requirement for a dedicated electrical outlet to power these devices. This allows 
for flexibility in situating devices where AC power is difficult to access and lowers 
installation costs. Compact and flexible, the ProSAFE FS108P is ideal for small 
business networks that need to inexpensively use PoE to deploy wireless access 
points and IP-based network surveillance cameras.
Flexible
• Choose to plug in up to eight Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet devices and mix in up
to four 802.3af IP-based devices like
wireless access points or IP-based network
surveillance cameras. Place these 802.3af-
compliant devices where they belong –
high up on walls and ceiling for maximum
coverage – or anywhere else you need
them. Power and data are carried over
standard Cat 5 cabling.
Plug and Play
• The standards-based ProSAFE FS108P
senses and adjusts for network speed
and cabling type automatically, for easy
integration into your existing 10/100
Ethernet network. For PoE, the switch
automatically detects 802.3af-compliant
devices, and supplies power as needed.
Front panel LEDs keep you informed of
switch and PoE status.
Quiet and Compact
• Engineered for compact convenience, it
features a 9-inch, durable metal case that is
easily positioned on your desktop or a wall,
using the included mounting hardware. The
fan-less design quietly integrates with your
small office environment.
Great Value
• With data switching and Power over
Ethernet integrated into one unit, the
FS108P saves space, reduces cables and
eliminates the requirement for dedicated
electrical outlets – lowering installation
costs, simplifying installation of PoE-
capable devices, and eliminating the need
for electricians or extension cords. All in all,
a great benefit for a modest price.
