Eaton NG8POE-M2 8×2.5G PoE+ Switch 100W 10G SFP+
Eight powered multi-gigabit ports with a faster uplink
The Eaton Tripp Lite series NG8POE-M2 is an unmanaged switch with eight 2.5G RJ45 PoE+ ports and a separate 10G SFP+ uplink. It powers compatible devices within a shared 100 W budget and includes an external mains power supply. Fanless metal construction supports desktop or suitable wall placement without switch-management setup.
What's in the Box
- NG8POE-M2, external power supply, rubber mounting feet and owner’s manual.
- NEMA 5-15P-to-C13 and Schuko-to-C13 power cords, each 1.5 m.
- SFP+ module, fiber/DAC, Ethernet cables and any required local plug adapter are separate.
What It Means in Practice
- Connect compatible 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps devices to the eight copper ports.
- Supply suitable PoE/PoE+ devices within their individual requirements and the shared 100 W limit.
- Use the separate SFP+ uplink with compatible link hardware and a suitable remote endpoint.
- Connect without a local management interface; provide appropriate ventilation and mains power.
What Will Not Work
- Eight 30 W loads cannot be powered simultaneously within 100 W.
- This is not a managed VLAN switch or a PoE-powered input switch.
- The SFP+ cage does not provide PoE and no transceiver is included.
- Network performance depends on endpoints, cabling and storage; 10G uplink does not make each copper port 10G.

Frequently Asked Questions
Count the power load before counting PoE ports. Eight low-power devices may fit within 100 W, while several higher-power devices can exhaust that allowance earlier. The separate SFP+ uplink keeps the eight copper ports available, but compatible uplink hardware remains part of the installation plan.
