CSS610-8P-2S+OUT

Power cuts shouldn’t mean downtime. The netPower Lite 8P delivers reliable Power-over-Ethernet even when the grid goes dark. The integrated UPS and smart charger work with your external 24 V battery – and can deliver high-voltage PoE-out even from low-voltage DC sources, making the netPower a perfect match for CCTV, offices, apartment buildings, and smart-city installations

The netPower Lite 8P comes with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports featuring 802.3af/at PoE-Out, plus
two 10G SFP+ uplinks for high-speed backhaul. It runs SwOS Lite – fast, efficient, and refreshingly simple to manage. Power input is flexible: just feed
24–57 V DC into the 2-pin terminal

Just like our other outdoor-friendly gear, this switch is built to endure. With an operating range of –40 °C to +70 °C, the netPower Lite 8P keeps delivering where many devices would already be giving up. The switch can draw up to 181 W total, with a 120 W PoE-Out budget. When incoming power is limited, PoE is prioritized automatically – charging slows down first to keep your essential devices online

Built-in UPS support: effective, reliable, gives you options

Connect a 24 V nominal battery – typically two 12 V units in series – and the switch instantly becomes a small, efficient UPS. During a power outage, PoE devices stay online without any interruptions.

The charger supports flooded, AGM, and gel-based lead-acid batteries, as well as LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery) packs with proper BMS. The charger subsystem is designed for charging batteries through the 2-pin header in a current range 0.2-1.6 A, and at a voltage range of 20 to 31.7 V.

Charging is handled intelligently through three stages:

1. Bulk- Rapid Charging
2. Absorption- Steady Top-off
3. Float- optional maintenance voltage

Battery safety tips

Chemical batteries can be an amazing tool in the right hands or quite dangerous if installed incorrectly. The netPower Lite 8P gives you flexibility, but certain rules must be followed.

#1 For LiFePO₄ batteries, it is crucial to have an external Battery Management System that provides cell balancing, over/under-voltage protection, current protection, and temperature protection. The internal charger does not replace those functions.

#2 Lead-acid batteries require ventilation. Charging can release small amounts of hydrogen gas; in a sealed space it can accumulate and become explosive. AGM and gel batteries are sealed and safer for indoor use, but still benefit from basic airflow

#3 The battery negative terminal must not be connected to the board or DC supply ground potential! The negative terminal must be isolated from ground potential as it is used for current measurement and charger feedback. Otherwise, the battery status will be measured improperly and the charger will function abnormally.

#4 While charging, following battery manufacturer guidelines is of utmost importance. Some battery chemistries can be charged at rates of 2C, while some have limits of just 0.2C

#5 Ensure the correct polarity for all connections – power supply, battery, temperature sensor. And don’t forget to keep the connections and batteries safe from weather, temperatures, and tampering

Perfect for WISPs, CCTV, apartments, utilities, and smart-city networks

Whenever uptime matters (and budgets!), the netPower Lite 8P gives you a clean, reliable, scalable solution. You get PoE, backup power, smart monitoring, and rugged outdoor performance in one compact device.

So if you value every watt and every second of uptime – the netPower Lite 8P is ready to keep you online...even when the lights go out.
