Product Overview

The Ruijie Reyee RG-ES228GS-P-V2 is a 28-port Gigabit smart cloud-managed PoE switch designed for larger CCTV, office, retail, hospitality, education and commercial networks requiring substantial PoE capacity with flexible copper and fibre connectivity. Twenty-four 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports provide IEEE 802.3af/at PoE and PoE+ output, while two additional Gigabit RJ45 ports and two 1GE SFP optical interfaces provide flexible uplink options. A 370 W total PoE budget supports larger groups of compatible IP cameras and other powered devices, while 56 Gbps switching capacity and 41.66 Mpps forwarding provide strong network performance. CCTV-focused functions include PoE watchdog, Perpetual PoE, IPC recognition, ERPS and port isolation, with Ruijie Cloud providing remote configuration and monitoring.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Large CCTV Systems: Twenty-four PoE+ ports provide a central network and power platform for substantial IP camera installations.
• Fibre-Linked Surveillance: Dual SFP interfaces and ERPS support suit networks spanning multiple cabinets, floors or buildings.
• Retail & Commercial Networks: Gigabit switching, VLAN capability and cloud management suit larger stores and mixed business-network environments.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose the RG-ES228GS-P-V2 if: You need twenty-four Gigabit PoE+ ports, dual SFP fibre uplinks and a 370 W total PoE budget.
• Choose the RG-ES228GS-LP if: The same general port layout is required but the connected devices need a lower overall PoE budget.
• Choose a larger enterprise switch if: More than twenty-four powered edge devices, higher-speed uplinks or more advanced Layer 2/Layer 3 features are required.
• Choose this model over an unmanaged switch if: ERPS, PoE watchdog, Perpetual PoE, port isolation, smart CCTV protection or cloud management would improve network reliability and maintenance.

FAQs

1. What ports does the Ruijie Reyee RG-ES228GS-P-V2 provide?
   The Ruijie Reyee RG-ES228GS-P-V2 provides twenty-six 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit RJ45 ports and two 1GE SFP optical ports, giving twenty-eight network interfaces in total. Twenty-four of the RJ45 ports support IEEE 802.3af/at PoE and PoE+ output, while the remaining two copper ports can be used as non-PoE uplinks or network connections. The two SFP ports provide flexible fibre-uplink options.
2. What is the PoE budget of the RG-ES228GS-P-V2?
   The RG-ES228GS-P-V2 provides twenty-four PoE and PoE+ output ports with a total PoE budget of 370 W. Ruijie lists IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at support, with up to 30 W available per supported port subject to the overall switch budget. The combined maximum demand of all connected powered devices should remain within the 370 W total budget.
3. Does the RG-ES228GS-P-V2 support Perpetual PoE and PoE watchdog?
   Yes. Ruijie lists both Perpetual PoE and PoE watchdog for the RG-ES228GS-P-V2. Perpetual PoE is designed to keep PoE power available to connected devices while the switch itself restarts, while PoE watchdog can help recover unresponsive powered devices. These functions are particularly useful in CCTV networks where reducing manual camera power cycling can improve service continuity.
4. Can the RG-ES228GS-P-V2 be managed through Ruijie Cloud?
   Yes. The RG-ES228GS-P-V2 supports lifetime management through Ruijie Cloud. Ruijie highlights zero-touch provisioning, remote switch-statistics monitoring, VLAN configuration and simplified maintenance through its cloud platform. For Security Wholesalers installations, this can reduce onsite administration across CCTV, office, retail, hospitality and other distributed business networks.
5. What switching performance does the RG-ES228GS-P-V2 provide?
   The RG-ES228GS-P-V2 has a switching capacity of 56 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 41.66 Mpps. Its twenty-six copper interfaces are Gigabit Ethernet ports and the two optical interfaces are 1GE SFP ports. This performance suits larger Gigabit CCTV and business networks with multiple cameras, NVRs and other Ethernet devices operating simultaneously.
6. What are the physical and operating specifications of the RG-ES228GS-P-V2?
   The RG-ES228GS-P-V2 measures approximately 440 mm × 215 mm × 44 mm and weighs about 2.82 kg without packaging. Ruijie specifies a fixed 100–240 VAC power supply, 25 W consumption without PoE load and up to 426 W with full PoE load. The switch is fanless, supports 6 kV port surge protection and operates from 0°C to 40°C.
