Have you ever found yourself needing to mount multiple devices outdoors—on a pole, a fence line, or the far end of a property—and there’s absolutely no AC power anywhere in sight? In this video I take a look at the FastCabling Outdoor PoE Pass-Through Switch, an unmanaged, plug-and-play solution that takes a single high-power 802.3bt PoE input (up to 95W) and then supplies 802.3af/at PoE out to the seven remaining ports. It’s rugged, built like a tank, IP67 weather resistant, IK10 vandal resistant, and it even has surge protection built in. I walk through the exact kind of real-world problem this solves—like the auto body shop parking lot scenario where cameras were needed but running AC would’ve cost a ton of money. With one Ethernet run feeding this switch, you can cleanly power multiple edge devices like a PTZ camera, dome cameras, and even an outdoor access point. I also do a live lab demonstration to confirm something a lot of folks ask about: yes, this unmanaged switch will pass VLAN tagged traffic. And if you don’t have an 802.3bt-capable switch, I show the FastCabling high-power PoE injector that can provide the 95W needed to make the whole setup work.
