RUIJIE - RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P - 12-Port Gigabit PoE+ Layer 3 Managed Access Switch, 4-Port 10G SFP+ Uplink

RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P — 12-Port Gigabit PoE+ Layer 3 Managed Access Switch, 4-Port 10G SFP+ Uplink

The Ruijie RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P is a Layer 3 managed access switch with twelve 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, each able to supply PoE or PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at), and four 1GE/10GE SFP+ ports for uplinks. It has a fixed built-in power supply and is 1 RU high.

What the RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P is for

Ruijie position the RG-CS83 series for gigabit access in business systems such as medical care, libraries and exhibition centres. This -P model suits a wiring cabinet with a modest number of powered devices: all 12 RJ45 ports supply PoE/PoE+, so access points, IP cameras and similar devices that draw up to 30 W can be connected without separate power supplies.

The PoE budget is the figure to plan around. Each port provides up to 30 W and the maximum across the switch is 370 W, so all twelve ports can run at the full 30 W (360 W) at the same time. Add up the draw of every powered device before you order. Devices that need more than 30 W per port (802.3bt PoE++) are outside what this switch supplies.

The four SFP+ ports run at 1G or 10G and carry the uplinks. As a Layer 3 switch it holds up to 6,000 IPv4 and 2,000 IPv6 unicast routes, with 104 Gbps switching capacity, 78 Mpps forwarding and VSU support for up to 4 member switches. Operating temperature is rated 0°C to 45°C.

• Layer 3 managed switch with 6,000 IPv4 and 2,000 IPv6 unicast route entries
• 104 Gbps switching capacity and 78 Mpps packet forwarding rate
• Supports VSU with up to 4 member switches
• Single fixed fan with automatic multi-level speed adjustment and 35 dB acoustic noise at 27°C

Full specification

What you will need

A mains supply (100 V AC to 240 V AC) for the built-in power supply and rack or shelf space for a 1 RU unit, 442 mm wide and 220 mm deep. For PoE, the devices must take IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at power and their combined draw must stay within 370 W. The four SFP+ ports need SFP or SFP+ modules or direct-attach cables, which Ruijie's ordering line does not list, plus network cable to each device.

Buying from Zenith Security Co.

We are a supplier, not an installer. We will go through the RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P with you before you buy — the PoE budget against your access points and cameras, the SFP+ uplinks and the cabling to each port — and depending on your requirements and your area we can recommend a qualified trade installer. We have been operating since 2012 and you can visit our trade counter in Wolverhampton.

How much PoE power does the RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P provide?

Each of its 12 RJ45 ports supplies up to 30 W over IEEE 802.3af/at, and the maximum across the whole switch is 370 W. That is enough for all 12 ports at the full 30 W (360 W).

Can the RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P power devices that use passive PoE?

No. It supplies IEEE 802.3af/at PoE, and passive PoE is not 802.3af/at, so a device that needs passive PoE would need its own passive injector or power supply. Tell us the device and we will check.

What can I connect to the four SFP+ ports on the RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P?

They are 1GE/10GE SFP+ ports, so they take 10G SFP+ modules for a 10G uplink and can also run at 1G. Modules or cables are needed to use them; tell us the link you have in mind and we will check what suits it.

Is the RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P a Layer 3 switch?

Yes. Ruijie describe it as a Layer 3 managed access switch, with capacity for 6,000 IPv4 and 2,000 IPv6 unicast routes, and it supports VSU with up to 4 member switches. Tell us which models you want to combine and we will check.

Does the RG-CS83-12GT4XS-P have a redundant power supply?

No. Ruijie list a single fixed power supply (409 W maximum output) and a single fixed fan. For a 24-port model that takes two pluggable power modules, see the RG-CS83-24GT4XS-PD.

How quickly can I get it?

Delivery is within 1–3 working days to England, Scotland and Wales. We do not ship to Northern Ireland.

Can I collect or see one before buying?

Yes. Our trade counter is at Unit 3, Park View Centre, 243 Dudley Road, Wolverhampton WV2 3JU. Call first so we can confirm the item is there for you.
