Product Information
Full details
The Yealink RCH40 is a compact Gigabit PoE+ switch designed for audio and video networking in meeting rooms. It offers four Gigabit Ethernet downlink ports and one uplink port, providing up to 30W per port with a total PoE budget of 90W, ideal for powering conference room devices. A potential caveat is its limited port count, which may require additional switches for larger setups. Key features include high PoE power delivery, Gigabit speeds, and a space-saving design.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the total PoE power budget of the Yealink RCH40?
The Yealink RCH40 has a total PoE power budget of up to 90W.
How many devices can I connect to the RCH40?
The RCH40 has four Gigabit Ethernet downlink ports, allowing you to connect up to four devices that require network connectivity and/or PoE power.
Does the RCH40 require a separate power adapter?
Yes, it includes an AC adapter for DC input. Alternatively, it can be powered via PoE from the uplink port if the connected device supports PoE input.
What type of Ethernet cables should I use?
It supports 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet speeds, so Cat5e or higher (Cat6, Cat6a) cables are recommended for optimal performance.
Can I manage the switch's settings?
The RCH40 is designed for plug-and-play simplicity and does not offer advanced management features. It supports basic QoS prioritization.
What is the warranty period for the RCH40?
> Info needed: Warranty information is not provided in the product data.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on
Verify the AC adapter is securely connected to both the RCH40 and a working power outlet. If using PoE for power, ensure the uplink device is providing sufficient PoE power.
Connected devices not receiving power
Check that the connected device is PoE-compliant and within the RCH40's PoE budget (max 30W per port, 90W total). Ensure the PoE LED indicator is lit.
No network connectivity
Confirm all Ethernet cables are securely plugged in at both ends. Verify the uplink connection to your main network and ensure the connected devices are configured correctly for network access.
Intermittent connectivity or performance issues
Ensure cables are not damaged and are properly seated. Check for potential network congestion. Verify that no single port is exceeding its power delivery limit, which could affect stability.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Delivers significant PoE power (up to 90W total) to multiple devices.
- Provides Gigabit speeds for fast data transfer and clear video/audio.
- Compact and space-saving design suitable for any meeting room.
- Easy plug-and-play setup for connected devices.
- Supports standard PoE protocols (802.3af/at) for broad compatibility.
Cons
- Limited number of ports (4 downlink) may not be sufficient for extensive setups.
- No advanced management features typically found in enterprise-grade switches.
- Relies on DC power input (adapter included) or PoE input on the uplink, requiring a suitable power source.
- EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is disabled by default, which might be a consideration for power saving.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the included AC adapter to the DC input port on the RCH40 and plug it into a power outlet, or connect a PoE-compliant device to the uplink port to provide power.
- Connect your audio and video devices (cameras, microphones, speakerphones) to the four Gigabit Ethernet downlink ports using standard Ethernet cables.
- Connect the RCH40's uplink port to your network router, firewall, or main network switch.
- Ensure connected devices are powered on. The LED indicators will show the status.
Compatibility:
- Networking Standards: Fully compatible with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE standards.
- Ethernet Devices: Works with any standard Ethernet devices requiring network connectivity and/or PoE power, particularly Yealink audio/video conferencing peripherals.
- Cabling: Supports 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet cabling (Cat5e or higher recommended).
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Ventilation: Ensure the device is placed in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to prevent overheating. The compact design requires adequate airflow around its sides.
- Environment: Operate within the specified humidity range (5-90% non-condensing).
