The LinkPower™ LPS2000-T1 Series is All Weather Multi-Port, i.e., 4 and 8 Port, Unmanged Gigabit PoE (Power over Ethernet) Switch with dual power output redundancy, i.e., 120V~240AC and/or 48V DC, is the industry first outdoor weatherproof ready high speed gigabit Ethernet switch that delivers data and power over one single network cable protected with an IP66/68 compliant weatherproof enclosure. The outdoor weatherproof rating of the systems is strictly based on how the top cover is closed. For the hinged cover without the four top cover screws, the outdoor weatherproof rating is IP66 and, otherwise, the outdoor rating is IP68 with the four top cover screws securely closed with the enclosure. The hinged enclosure offers great convenience for outdoor network applications required frequent changes of network configuration. The PoE port output from 15.4W to 30W per port based on the models (see the model table below).
The LPS2000-T1 is designed for outdoor industrial and commercial network applications, e.g., video surveillance, remote security, wifi/wireless mesh, and telco carrier installations.
Inscape Data offers two different lines of LPS2000, i.e., T1 & T2 models. The design of the T1 and T2 models are based on the different requirements of today's broad outdoor network applications, such as installation security, ease of installation, and product cost. The T1 models offer up to IP67 waterproof rating
and meet higher installation security by hiding the network cable and power connectors securely inside of a weatherproof enclosure and reduce the product cost by using fewer connectors, while the T2 models offer IP68 waterproof rating and ease of installation,
i.e., plug and play connectors for applications demanding rapid change of network configuration.
The key difference between the LPS2000-T1 (Type 1) models and LPS2000-T2 (Type 2) models outdoor PoE switch products is illustrated as follow:
The LinkPower LPS2000-T1 Unmanaged Outdoor Gigabit PoE Network Switch Series offers several sub-models as shown below:

The LPS2000-T1 Series All Weather 4 to 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch is an unmanageable network switch and is designed to meet the accelerating demand for powering the most demanding outdoor PoE devices without the requirement for the management feature. In addition, the LPS2000-T1 Series All Weather Unmanaged Gigabit PoE Switch uses LED displays that show device status for easy power management and troubleshooting.
The PoE Technoloy significantly reduces the installation cost by eliminating the separate power supply units for PoE enable network devices, such as Inscape Data’s
IP cameras and SB3000/BR3000 wireless products, thereby reducing equipment and installation costs.
