- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE09960:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)

With 7 PoE+ enabled ports and extended range capabilities up to 250 metres, this switch serves as the backbone for sophisticated network installations where power and data need to travel long distances over a single cable.

### Key Features and Technical Specifications

- 7 PoE+ ports with a total power budget of 63W
- 1 dedicated uplink gigabit port
- Extended transmission range up to 250m at 10Mbps
- IEEE 802.3at/af compliant
- Auto-sensing ports adjust power output based on connected devices
- Plug and play setup with no configuration required
- Fanless design for silent operation
- Desktop or wall-mounting options
 
### How to Use

Setting up the MS108GP is straightforward and requires minimal technical expertise. Connect the switch to power, then use standard [Sparkfun CAT 6 ethernet cables](https://core-electronics.com.au/cat-6-cable-3ft.html) to link your network devices. For extended range applications beyond 100m, the switch automatically adjusts to maintain reliable connections up to 250m.

For devices requiring PoE power:

1. Connect PoE-compatible devices to ports 1-7
