Newark, April 2026 – Versitron announces the release of its 18-Port Managed Industrial PoE Switch (SKU: SF71860MP), a high-capacity networking solution designed to support system integrators building reliable, scalable, and power-efficient infrastructures across industrial and enterprise environments. Combining advanced management features with PoE functionality and fiber uplink capability, this switch is engineered to simplify deployments while maintaining consistent network performance.

As industrial and smart infrastructure projects continue to expand, system integrators are increasingly tasked with deploying networks that can handle large numbers of connected devices while ensuring centralized control and minimal downtime. The SF71860MP addresses these challenges by delivering a robust switching platform capable of supporting both data communication and power delivery in a single integrated solution.

The switch is equipped with 16 RJ45 Ethernet ports, providing high-density connectivity for devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, access control systems, and industrial IoT equipment. In addition, it includes 2 SFP fiber ports, enabling seamless uplink to backbone networks and long-distance communication across distributed environments. This hybrid configuration allows system integrators to build flexible architectures that support both localized device connectivity and extended network reach.

A key advantage of the SF71860MP is its PoE (Power over Ethernet) capability, which allows power and data to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable. This significantly reduces the need for separate electrical wiring, simplifies installation, and lowers deployment costs. For system integrators working on surveillance systems or remote installations, this feature enables faster and more efficient project execution.

Beyond connectivity, the SF71860MP offers advanced managed switching features that provide system integrators with complete control over network operations. Capabilities such as VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS), and network monitoring allow integrators to prioritize critical traffic, enhance security, and maintain visibility across the network. These features are essential in mission-critical environments where performance consistency and rapid troubleshooting are required.

Designed for industrial-grade durability, the switch operates reliably in harsh environments where temperature fluctuations, electrical interference, and mechanical vibration are common. This rugged construction ensures stable performance in applications such as manufacturing facilities, transportation systems, energy infrastructure, and outdoor deployments.

The inclusion of SFP fiber ports further enhances the switch’s versatility by enabling high-speed, long-distance communication. System integrators can connect multiple sites, buildings, or operational zones without compromising signal integrity, making the SF71860MP an ideal choice for large-scale network deployments.

Despite its high port density and advanced capabilities, the switch is designed with ease of deployment in mind. Its integration-friendly design allows system integrators to incorporate it into existing network infrastructures with minimal disruption. This reduces installation complexity and helps accelerate project timelines.

The SF71860MP also supports scalable network growth, allowing integrators to expand infrastructure as operational requirements evolve. Whether adding new devices or extending network coverage, the switch provides the flexibility needed to support long-term development.

This solution is particularly well-suited for applications such as security and surveillance networks, where multiple PoE-powered cameras must operate reliably; industrial automation systems, where consistent communication between devices is critical; and smart city and transportation infrastructure, where distributed connectivity and centralized management are essential.

By combining high port density, PoE efficiency, advanced management features, and industrial-grade reliability, Versitron’s SF71860MP empowers system integrators to build robust and future-ready network infrastructures.
