KONTEN CP-1604GE

The KONTEN CP-1604GE is an industrial Layer 3 managed PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet switch with 16+4 ports, designed for reliable network operation in demanding industrial environments. 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ support, along with four additional 1G/2.5G SFP slots, offer system integrators and machine builders a compact, powerful network solution with Layer 3 routing functionality.

For users, the full PoE+ capability across all 16 ports means cameras, access points, and other end devices can be powered directly through the network cable, significantly reducing cabling effort and installation costs. The Layer 3 functionality enables segmentation of larger networks into multiple subnets, significantly simplifying management and security in complex industrial facilities. The 2.5-gigabit SFP uplinks provide additional bandwidth headroom for growing data volumes on the network. Network redundancy through RSTP, MSTP, ERPS, and LACP ensures that in the event of a connection failure, traffic is automatically rerouted to alternative paths — a key advantage for facilities where downtime carries high costs. QoS functions via CoS and DSCP prioritize critical data streams, ensuring deterministic behavior for automation applications with real-time requirements. IGMP Snooping versions 1 through 3, supporting up to 512 groups, enables efficient management of multicast data streams, such as video transmissions on the network. The USB storage function enables configuration-free device replacement during service, significantly speeding up maintenance work. The switch also supports the industrial automation protocols Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP along with a PoE PD Alive Check function that automatically restarts unresponsive PoE devices.

Thanks to its rugged construction for harsh environments and wide operating temperature range, the CP-1604GE is ideally suited for factory automation and segmented industrial network infrastructures with compact port density.
