Know before you buy
No, the Theatrixx xVision 5-Port Gigabit Network Switch does not support PoE. It is designed for data transmission and requires external power for any connected devices that rely on PoE.
Yes, the switch includes one SFP-based optical port that supports both 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps speeds, allowing for flexible fiber connectivity in your network setup.
