It powers up to 48 Ethernet endpoints at 90 W per port, provides a 500 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric, and includes four 25 Gigabit SFP28 uplink ports for high-capacity fiber backbone connectivity. With built-in DM NVX and DM NAX AV-over-IP profiles, the switch is purpose-configured for Crestron AV-over-IP deployments in enterprise, education, government, and large-venue commercial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CEN-SWPOE-52-ULTRA provides 44 ports of 2.5 Gigabit auto-sensing Ethernet with PoE++ and four ports of 10 Gigabit auto-sensing multi-gigabit Ethernet with PoE++, for a total of 48 powered copper ports. All PoE++ ports conform to IEEE 802.3bt Type 4, delivering up to 90 W per port. Combined PoE output reaches up to 3,314 W when equipped with optional modular power supply units. Without the modular supplies, the internal power supply provides a maximum of 194 W of PoE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo modular power supply slots accept the CEN-SWSFP-PWS350 or CEN-SWPOE-PWS2000-ULTRA. The CEN-SWPOE-PWS2000-ULTRA expands the total PoE budget to 3,314 W without redundancy, or maintains up to 1,794 W in a redundant failover configuration. Four 25 Gigabit Base-X SFP28 ports support both multimode and single-mode fiber transceiver modules for backbone uplinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelecting the DM NVX AV-over-IP or DM NAX Audio-over-IP profile in the built-in browser interface automatically configures the multicast management settings required for those systems. IGMP snooping (IGMPv3, MLDv2), IEEE 1588 PTPv2, full VLAN management, QoS, Layer 3 routing, DHCP server, 802.1X, DHCP snooping, and RADIUS\/TACACS+ authentication are all included. The 1U metal chassis ships with reversible rack ears and supports both Quiet Mode (34 dBA) and Cool Mode (52 dBA) fan operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e48-Port PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Up to 90 W per port; combined maximum 3,314 W with modular power supplies installed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e44x 2.5 GbE + 4x 10 GbE Copper Ports\u003c\/strong\u003e — Multi-gigabit auto-sensing copper ports support high-bandwidth AV-over-IP devices and 4K\/5K streaming endpoints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4x 25 Gigabit SFP28 Uplinks\u003c\/strong\u003e — Multimode and single-mode fiber support for high-capacity backbone connectivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e500 Gbps Non-Blocking Switching Fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wire-speed performance across all 52 ports with no oversubscription.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Modular Power Supply Slots\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports CEN-SWSFP-PWS350 or CEN-SWPOE-PWS2000-ULTRA for expanded PoE budget and optional redundancy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDM NVX \u0026amp; DM NAX AV Profiles\u003c\/strong\u003e — One-click profile selection configures multicast management for Crestron AV-over-IP and Audio-over-IP deployments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayer 2 \u0026amp; Layer 3 Managed Switching\u003c\/strong\u003e — VLANs, IGMP snooping, PTP, QoS, static\/dynamic routing, and DHCP server.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Stacking\u003c\/strong\u003e — Stack Master LED and Stack ID display support multi-switch stacking configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable Fan Modes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Quiet Mode (34 dBA) for noise-sensitive spaces; Cool Mode (52 dBA) for maximum thermal performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge boardroom and executive conference center AV-over-IP distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium and all-hands room AV infrastructure with high-density endpoints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-room commercial AV networks with mixed DM NVX encoder\/decoder deployments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room and higher-education AV-over-IP backbone switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship production and distribution networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio network infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthernet Ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(44) 2.5 Gigabit auto-sensing w\/PoE++; (4) 10 Gigabit auto-sensing w\/PoE++; (4) 25 Gigabit Base-X SFP28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoE Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3bt (Type 4)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoE Power per Port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 90 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCombined PoE Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 3,314 W (with modular power supplies); 194 W without\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitching Fabric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 Gbps non-blocking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMAC Addresses\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 16K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManagement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHTTPS Web GUI, CLI, SSH, Telnet, SNMP, RADIUS, TACACS+; IPv4\/IPv6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModular PSU Slots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(2) for CEN-SWSFP-PWS350 or CEN-SWPOE-PWS2000-ULTRA (sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12A @ 100–240VAC, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax PoE (w\/supplies): 3,857.5 W; Internal only Max PoE: 351.5 W; No PoE: 133.5 W; Standby: 56.5 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1U 19-inch rackmount or freestanding; reversible rack ears\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.7 in.
