Description
For the smallest sites, a separate router and PoE switch is often two devices too many. The S380-L4P1T's single WAN port plus four PoE-capable LAN ports condense that into one unit, with up to 50 W of PoE budget on the LAN side — enough for a couple of access points or a desk phone and a camera. Its fanless design lets it sit on a shelf or desk without adding noise, and a sub-1 kg body suits sites where a rack isn't available at all. It fits installers serving single-office businesses, small retail counters, or satellite locations where minimal hardware and low running cost matter more than advanced routing features.
Specification Table
| Specification | Why It Matters |
|---|
| 1x GE WAN port | Connects the site to the internet at Gigabit speed. |
| 3x GE LAN PoE+ ports + 1 switchable LAN/WAN PoE+ port | Powers access points, phones, or cameras directly without extra injectors. |
| 50 W total PoE+ budget | Enough for a small number of powered devices at a micro-site. |
| Fanless design | Silent, maintenance-free operation suited to open desk or shelf placement. |
| Sub-1 kg compact body | Fits sites with no rack space, mounted on a wall or shelf instead. |
| MTBF of over 75 years | Reflects a long expected service life for a low-maintenance small-site device. |
Across Kenya and Uganda, single-room offices and small retail counters rarely have space or budget for a rack of separate networking boxes, which is exactly the gap this class of all-in-one gateway fills.
