Installation for:
Note: We recommend that you use a Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable or higher-rated cable for Gigabit Ethernet connections.
This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.
Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information.
Note: Because this is an unmanaged switch, you cannot configure or manage it in NETGEAR Insight.
Sample connections
Model GS516UP provides PoE++ (802.3bt) power on ports 1–8 with up to 60W to each port and PoE+ (802.3at) power on ports 9–16 with up to 30W to each port. The total PoE power budget for the switch is 380W across all active PoE ports.
Model GS524UP provides PoE++ (802.3bt) power on ports 1–16 with up to 60W to each port and PoE+ (802.3at) power on ports 17–24 with up to 30W to each port. The total PoE power budget for the switch is 480W across all active PoE ports.
When you connect the power cord to the switch and plug it into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status.
LED | Description | |
Power | Solid green. The switch is powered on and operating normally. Off. Power is not supplied to the switch. | |
Fan | Off. The fan is working correctly. Solid yellow. The fan is not working correctly. | |
PoE Max (The status of the switch's PoE budget) | Off. Sufficient (more than 7W of) PoE power is available. Solid yellow. Less than 7W of PoE power is available. Blinking yellow. At least once during the previous two minutes, less than 7W of PoE power was available. | |
Left port LED | Solid green.1000 Mbps link on this port. Blinking green. 1000 Mbps activity on this port. Solid yellow. 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps link on this port. Blinking yellow. 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps activity on this port. Off. No link is detected on this port. | |
Right Port LED | Solid Green. The port is delivering PoE power. Off. The port is not delivering PoE power. Solid yellow. A PoE fault occurred. |
The DIP switches on the front panel let you to select the following PoE++ modes:
PoE++ Mode | DIP Switch Position | Ports 1–4 | Ports 5–8 | Ports 9–12 (GS524UP Only) | Ports 13–16 (GS524UP Only) |
802.3bt | Up | Default | Default | Default | Default |
pre-802.3bt | Down | Optional | Optional | Optional | Optional |
For information about which mode to select, consult the documentation that came with the powered device (PD). If you are not sure, keep the default mode. However, if the PD does not power up, set the DIP switch to the pre-802.3bt mode.
The PoE power that the switch supplies to powered devices (PDs) is prioritized in ascending port order. If the power requirements for the attached PDs exceed the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs connected to the higher-priority, lowernumbered ports are supported first.
A PD listed as an 802.3bt PoE++ powered device does not necessarily require the maximum power limit of the specification. Many PDs require less power, potentially allowing all PoE++ and PoE+ ports to be active simultaneously.
The following table shows the standard power ranges calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters).
Device Class | Compatible PoE standard | Class Description | Maximum Power Supplied by the Switch | Power Delivered to the PD |
0 | PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ | Default power (full) | 0.44W | 0.44W–12.95W |
1 | PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ | Very low power | 4.0W | 0.44W–3.84W |
2 | PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ | Low power | 7.0W | 3.84W–6.49W |
3 | PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ | Mid power | 15.4W | 6.49W–12.95W |
4 | PoE+ and PoE++ | High power | 30.0W | 12.95W–25.5W |
5–6 | PoE++ only | Ultra power | 45.0W | 25.5W–51W |
If a device receives insufficient PoE power from the switch, consider using a shorter cable.

Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
PoE Fault Condition | Possible Solution |
A PoE-related short circuit occurred on the port. | The problem is most likely with the attached PD. Check the condition of the PD, or restart the PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD. |
The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded the maximum level that the switch permits. The maximum level is 15.4W for a PoE connection, 30W for a PoE+ connection, and 60W for a PoE++ connection. | |
The PoE current on the port exceeded the classification limit of the PD. | |
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the range that the switch permits | Restart the switch to see if the condition resolves itself. |
We recommend that you use the brackets and screws that came with the switch.
