Extreme Networks V300-8P-2T-W 8-Port PoE+ Gigabit Fanless Switch with 2 Uplink Ports – 802.3bt Type 4 Powered

Product Description 

The Extreme Networks V300-8P-2T-W is a compact, fanless Gigabit Ethernet switch built for silent operation and high efficiency in edge network deployments. Designed for environments that demand low noise and high performance, this switch delivers 8 PoE+ ports (10/100/1000BASE-T) with support for IEEE 802.3af/at standards and 802.3bt Type 4PoE power sourcing.

Ideal for enterprise edge, classrooms, retail, or quiet office environments, this managed switch includes 2 additional 1000BASE-T uplink ports, allowing seamless backbone connectivity to aggregation or core switches. The fanless design ensures completely silent operation while maintaining optimal thermal performance.

What makes the V300-8P-2T-W especially flexible is its ability to be powered over Ethernet (PoE-In) using 802.3bt Type 4. This means it can operate without a direct AC power source—perfect for scenarios where power outlets are limited or unreliable.

Fully manageable and designed for half and full duplex Ethernet modes, this switch is ideal for network expansions involving IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless APs, and other PoE-enabled devices. It integrates easily with Extreme’s fabric-based solutions and supports smart edge deployment strategies.
