Crestron CEN-SWSFP-PWS350 – 350W Redundant Power Supply for Network Switches

Product Overview

The Crestron CEN-SWSFP-PWS350 is a 350-watt replacement and redundant power supply unit designed for the Crestron CEN-SWSFP-28 all-fiber managed switch and the CEN-SWPOE-52 PoE managed switch. It installs into the power supply bay of compatible switches to provide either a primary power source or hot-swap redundancy, ensuring continuous switch operation in mission-critical AV and IT infrastructure. For facilities and IT managers operating Crestron-managed networks, this PSU extends uptime by eliminating a single point of failure in the switch chassis.

Product Description

The CEN-SWSFP-PWS350 is a field-replaceable internal power supply that slides into the dedicated PSU slot of the CEN-SWSFP-28 or CEN-SWPOE-52 switch chassis. When a second unit is installed alongside the primary supply, the switch operates in redundant PSU mode—if one supply fails, the other takes over instantly with no interruption to network traffic or PoE delivery. This is a standard approach in enterprise and commercial AV installations where network downtime would disrupt active meetings, digital signage, or distributed audio and video systems. The 350 W rating is matched to the power requirements of these specific Crestron switch platforms.

Key Features

• 350 W output — matched to CEN-SWSFP-28 and CEN-SWPOE-52 switch power requirements
• Hot-swap redundancy — second unit installs for fault-tolerant operation with no network downtime
• Field-replaceable design — slides into the switch chassis PSU bay without tools
• Compatible with CEN-SWSFP-28 — the 28-port all-fiber managed switch
• Compatible with CEN-SWPOE-52 — the 52-port PoE managed switch
• Supports continuous PoE delivery — redundancy protects powered devices on PoE ports during PSU failure
• Genuine Crestron component — factory matched and tested for compatibility with the switch platform

Typical Applications

• Redundant PSU configuration in CEN-SWSFP-28 fiber core switches in commercial AV installations

FAQs

Can the CEN-SWSFP-PWS350 be installed while the switch is operating?

Yes. The hot-swap design allows the PSU to be inserted or removed from a running switch without powering down the chassis or disrupting network traffic, provided the second supply is already operating.

Does the CEN-SWSFP-PWS350 work with both the CEN-SWSFP-28 and the CEN-SWPOE-52?

Yes. Crestron specifies this PSU for use in both the CEN-SWSFP-28 and the CEN-SWPOE-52 switch platforms. Verify your switch model's documentation to confirm the correct PSU slot count and wattage requirements before ordering.

Do I need two units to achieve redundancy?

Yes. The switch chassis includes one PSU slot active by default. Installing a second CEN-SWSFP-PWS350 in the redundant PSU bay enables 1+1 redundancy. Operating with only one supply installed provides no redundancy.
