Crestron CEN-SWPOE-30-TAA – 30-Port PoE+ Managed Switch, TAA Compliant

Product Overview

The Crestron CEN-SWPOE-30-TAA is a TAA-compliant, 30-port managed PoE+ network switch for mid-scale commercial AV-over-IP deployments in government-funded and federally regulated environments. It delivers up to 30 W per port across 24 Ethernet ports with a 480 W combined PoE output, and includes four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports for fiber backbone connectivity. With a 132 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric, built-in DM NVX and DM NAX AV-over-IP profiles, and full Layer 2/Layer 3 management, the CEN-SWPOE-30-TAA provides a compact and compliance-ready managed switch for conference rooms, training rooms, and smaller commercial AV installations.

Product Description

The CEN-SWPOE-30-TAA is the TAA-compliant variant of the CEN-SWPOE-30, with identical hardware specifications and feature sets. It provides IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) power on 24 of its 30 Ethernet ports, at up to 30 W per port and 480 W combined. Two additional non-PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 10 Gigabit Base-X SFP+ uplink ports complete the port complement. The 10GbE SFP+ uplinks accommodate both multimode and single-mode fiber transceiver modules (e.g., SFP-10G-SR, sold separately) for connectivity to a fiber backbone or core switch.

TAA compliance makes the CEN-SWPOE-30-TAA eligible for federal, state, and government-funded procurement under the Trade Agreements Act. For commercial AV environments where endpoint power requirements stay under 30 W per port — including DM NVX devices, touch panels, VoIP phones, and network cameras — this switch provides the correct platform without the added cost of PoE++ hardware.

DM NVX and DM NAX AV-over-IP profile selection from the built-in browser interface automates IGMP multicast configuration for those systems. Full Layer 2 and Layer 3 management includes VLANs, IGMP snooping (IGMPv3, MLDv2), IEEE 1588 PTPv2, QoS, static and dynamic routing, DHCP server, 802.1X, DHCP snooping, RADIUS, and TACACS+. The 1U metal chassis ships with reversible rack ears and a dedicated out-of-band management port.

Typical Applications

• Government spaces and federally funded AV installations requiring TAA-compliant hardware
• Conference room and training room DM NVX AV-over-IP deployments
• Commercial multi-purpose room AV infrastructure with PoE+ endpoint requirements
• Huddle room and smaller meeting space AV distribution
• All-hands room AV infrastructure in smaller venues
• House of worship systems with standard PoE endpoints

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the CEN-SWPOE-30-TAA identical to the CEN-SWPOE-30?

Yes. The hardware specifications and feature set are the same. The TAA suffix indicates Trade Agreements Act compliance for government procurement eligibility.

What is the difference between CEN-SWPOE-30-TAA and CEN-SWPOE-30-ULTRA?

The TAA model supports PoE+ (802.3at) at 30 W per port and uses 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks. The ULTRA model supports PoE++ (802.3bt) at 90 W per port with 1 Gigabit SFP uplinks. Choose the TAA when government compliance is required and PoE+ is sufficient; choose the ULTRA for higher per-port power.

What SFP+ transceivers are compatible?

The SFP+ ports support 10 Gigabit Base-X modules in both multimode and single-mode fiber (e.g., SFP-10G-SR). Transceivers are sold separately.

How many ports provide PoE+?

Twenty-four of the 30 ports provide PoE+. Ports 25–26 are standard Gigabit Ethernet without PoE; ports 27–30 are 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks.

What AV-over-IP systems does the profile feature support?

Profile selection supports Crestron DM NVX AV-over-IP and DM NAX Audio-over-IP systems, automatically configuring IGMP and multicast settings required by those endpoints.

What warranty applies?
