Four Gigabit PoE+ connections with copper and fibre uplink options
4 × Gigabit PoE+Up to 120 W shared2 × 100/1000 SFP baysNon-B: 44–56 V DC PoE
The barox PC-PIGE502-GBTE is an industrial PoE+ switch for connecting and powering up to four compatible Ethernet endpoints. It adds a non-PoE copper uplink and two SFP bays, with an uplink-mode requirement when the fifth copper port is used. This is the exact non-B model with external DC power, not the lower-voltage B booster version.
Best For: Protected industrial video and Ethernet installations requiring four Gigabit PoE+ connections and appropriate copper or fibre uplinks.
Before you order: For PoE on this non-B model, select a suitable separate 44–56 V DC supply with sufficient capacity for the connected load. The 12–56 V PoE range belongs to the B version. When using the fifth RJ45 port, set the uplink/SFP mode to 1 Gbit/s as specified by barox. IP30 requires a protected enclosure. Manufacturer lists this model as EOL, replaced by PC-PIGE502-2.
What's in the Box
- barox PC-PIGE502-GBTE industrial switch.
- Industrial DC power supply, SFP modules, optical and Ethernet cables are selected separately.
- Confirm exact mounting accessories with the supplier; DIN-rail and table/wall mounting options are documented.
What It Means in Practice
- Connect up to four IEEE 802.3af/at devices, observing the shared PoE limit and supply capacity.
- Select compatible barox SFP modules and matching fibre for the required link.
- Set the uplink DIP mode correctly when using the fifth copper port.
- Design grounding, protected housing and any redundant external power sources for the installation.
What Will Not Work
- This non-B model does not provide PoE from a 12 V supply.
- Do not count combo media connectors as seven independent simultaneous network links.
- IP30 and an extended temperature range do not make the switch weatherproof.
- Redundant DC inputs do not provide battery backup, and this model does not establish managed routing or SNMP functions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run PoE from 12 V?
Not on this non-B model. Its exact PoE input range is 44–56 V DC; the B booster version has different requirements.
Can I use the fifth RJ45 uplink?
Yes, with the uplink/SFP DIP mode set to 1 Gbit/s as specified by the manufacturer. Observe combo-media operation.
Are the PSU and SFP modules included?
Plan them separately and select suitable power capacity and compatible optics.
Is it suitable for exposed rain?
No. IP30 requires protected installation despite the wide operating-temperature range.
Singular Expert Insight
Choose the exact power and uplink arrangement before installation. A sufficient 44–56 V industrial supply enables the non-B model to serve its PoE endpoints; the B model’s lower-voltage capability must not be assumed. Keep the fifth copper port’s 1 Gbit/s uplink setting and SFP compatibility explicit.
Buyer’s Guide
✓ Buy it if You need four industrial Gigabit PoE+ connections and have suitable external DC power and compatible uplink components.
✕ Skip it if You need 12 V PoE boosting, waterproof exposure, 10G links or documented managed routing.
→ Also consider Power capacity, non-B voltage range, uplink DIP setting, SFP compatibility, enclosure and lifecycle availability.
