RUIJIE REYEE - RG-ES205GC-P - 5-Port Gigabit Layer 2 Smart Cloud Managed PoE Switch, 4 PoE+ Ports

RG-ES205GC-P — 5-Port Gigabit Layer 2 Smart Cloud Managed PoE Switch, 4 PoE+ Ports

The Ruijie Reyee RG-ES205GC-P is a compact five-port gigabit switch with four PoE/PoE+ outputs and a 54 W PoE budget. Ruijie position it for small and medium business networks and CCTV networks.

What the RG-ES205GC-P is for

The RG-ES205GC-P has five 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports, four of which supply power to 802.3af and 802.3at devices. Ruijie give a total PoE budget of 54 W, shared across those four ports, so it suits a handful of cameras or access points rather than four devices that each draw the maximum.

Ruijie list IP camera and NVR recognition, PoE watchdog, individual port reboot, an IPC offline alarm, mobile VLAN configuration and automatic loop prevention. They also quote 250 metres transmission (marked with an asterisk on their page) and a flexible extend mode. It is fanless, with a switching capacity of 10 Gbps.

Add up the draw of every powered device before you rely on the 54 W budget; for a larger budget, see our PoE switches. The fifth port does not supply PoE.

Key features

Full specification

What you will need

You need network cable to each device and PoE devices that suit 802.3af or 802.3at, with a combined draw within the 54 W budget. The switch itself needs mains power. Ruijie's page does not list the box contents, so ask us what is supplied with it.

Buying from Zenith Security Co.

We are a supplier, not an installer. We will go through the RG-ES205GC-P with you before you buy — the PoE budget against your cameras or access points, the one non-PoE port and what the cabling means in practice — 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 many PoE ports does the RG-ES205GC-P have?

Four of its five gigabit RJ45 ports supply PoE/PoE+ to 802.3af and 802.3at devices. The fifth port does not supply power.

What is the PoE budget of the RG-ES205GC-P?

Ruijie give a total PoE budget of 54 W, shared across the four PoE ports. Add up the draw of your devices to check they fit.

Can the RG-ES205GC-P run four PoE+ cameras at full power?

Not necessarily. PoE+ (802.3at) allows up to 30 W per port, but the shared budget is 54 W, so four devices drawing the maximum would exceed it. Cameras and access points that draw less are a better fit.

Is the RG-ES205GC-P cloud managed?

Ruijie describe it as a smart cloud managed switch, and their page says VLANs can be configured in the Ruijie Cloud app and switch statistics monitored from anywhere.

Does the RG-ES205GC-P have an SFP slot?

Ruijie's specification lists five RJ45 ports and no SFP or other optical ports for this model.

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.
