RUIJIE RG-ES228GS-LP - 26 PORTS (24 POE+ SW)

The Ruijie Reyee RG‑ES228GS‑LP is a high‑capacity, cloud‑managed Gigabit PoE+ switch engineered for business networks, CCTV deployments, retail stores, hospitality venues, and multi‑device environments requiring reliable power delivery and intelligent Layer‑2 switching. Designed with a robust metal chassis, advanced surveillance‑optimised features, and lifetime‑free cloud management, it provides exceptional stability, flexibility, and long‑term value for professional installations.

Featuring 28 total ports, the RG‑ES228GS‑LP includes 26 Gigabit RJ45 ports and 2 Gigabit SFP uplinks, offering versatile copper and fibre connectivity for a wide range of devices. Among these, 24 ports support PoE/PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at) with a substantial 250 W total PoE budget, delivering up to 30 W per port for high‑power devices such as PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. Intelligent PoE management ensures safe and efficient power distribution, while PoE watchdog functionality automatically restarts unresponsive devices — a crucial capability for CCTV networks where continuous recording is essential.

Purpose‑built for surveillance environments, the switch incorporates IP camera recognition, enabling automatic optimisation for connected cameras. Automatic loop prevention protects the network from outages caused by cabling loops, ensuring stable operation even in complex installations. These features make the RG‑ES228GS‑LP particularly valuable for installers who need dependable, self‑protecting switching for large‑scale CCTV deployments.

The RG‑ES228GS‑LP delivers strong Layer‑2 performance with a 56 Gbps switching capacity and 41.664 Mpps forwarding rate, ensuring smooth data transmission for both surveillance and general business applications. Its store‑and‑forward architecture and robust packet‑handling capabilities help prevent packet loss during high‑traffic periods, maintaining stable video streams and reliable network behaviour. The switch supports VLANs, port isolation, storm control, and traffic management, enabling structured and secure network segmentation across large deployments.

Cloud management is a major advantage of the RG‑ES228GS‑LP. Through Ruijie Cloud and the Reyee App, administrators gain lifetime‑free remote access for monitoring, configuration, firmware updates, and diagnostics. Zero‑touch provisioning (SON) simplifies deployment, allowing the switch to be added to the network instantly. VLAN configuration, PoE port reboot, traffic monitoring, and alarm notifications can all be managed remotely — dramatically reducing on‑site maintenance and support costs.

Built for durability, the switch features a metal enclosure, front‑to‑rear air‑cooling, and a fixed fan for stable thermal performance. It includes robust electrical protection such as ±6 kV surge protection on service ports and power connectors, ensuring resilience against electrical spikes and unstable power conditions. With an impressive MTBF of 200,000 hours, the RG‑ES228GS‑LP is engineered for long‑term reliability in demanding environments. Its 440 × 214.9 × 43.2 mm rack‑mountable form factor offers professional installation flexibility. Maximum power consumption reaches 294–302 W under full PoE load, ensuring stable operation even when powering numerous devices.

The Ruijie Reyee RG‑ES228GS‑LP is a powerful, surveillance‑optimised, cloud‑managed PoE+ switch that delivers reliable performance, intelligent power management, and effortless deployment. It is an excellent choice for CCTV networks, medium‑to‑large offices, retail environments, and any installation requiring a high‑capacity PoE solution backed by lifetime cloud management.
