Ruijie RG-NBS5300-8MG2XS-UP 8-Port 2.5G PoE++ Layer 3 Managed Switch with 10G SFP+ Uplinks

The RG-NBS5300-8MG2XS-UP is built for high-performance business networks and modern edge devices that need both more bandwidth and more power. According to the datasheet, it provides 8 multi-gigabit 10/100/1000/2500BASE-T ports, 8 PoE/PoE+/PoE++ output ports, and 2 x 10GE SFP+ uplink ports. That makes it a strong fit for WiFi 6 access points, advanced IP cameras, and other PoE-enabled devices that benefit from 2.5GbE connectivity and higher power delivery. Because it is also a Layer 3 switch, it fits installations that need both switching and routing capabilities in a compact rack-mount platform.

Yes, this model supports PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ under IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards. The official datasheet states that all 8 RJ45 ports are PoE output ports and that all 8 support PoE/PoE+/PoE++. It also lists a total PoE budget of 370 W, which gives you substantial power capacity for multiple high-draw devices. This is especially useful when powering equipment such as multi-gig access points or other PoE++ endpoints from a single switch.

This is a true multi-gigabit switch, not a standard 1GbE PoE model. The datasheet specifically lists 8 ports as 10/100/1000/2500BASE-T, meaning they can operate up to 2.5Gbps on copper Ethernet. It also includes 2 x 10GE SFP+ uplink ports for higher-speed backbone or aggregation connections. That combination makes it well suited for networks where gigabit is no longer enough, especially in environments using WiFi 6 or bandwidth-heavy surveillance traffic.

Yes, the RG-NBS5300-8MG2XS-UP includes 2 x 10GE SFP+ uplink ports. Those uplinks are important when you want to avoid creating a bottleneck between your access layer and your upstream switch, NAS, or server infrastructure. In a deployment with several 2.5GbE powered devices, 10G uplinks give you more room for aggregated traffic to move efficiently. This makes the switch a better fit for higher-performance installations than a model limited to 1G uplinks.

Yes, the official datasheet confirms support for Ruijie Cloud management and Ruijie Reyee App management. It also lists eWeb management, HTTP login, HTTPS login, syslog, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, and client auto-discovery. That gives installers and network administrators multiple ways to manage, monitor, and maintain the switch locally or remotely. For customers who want easier oversight across sites, those management options are one of the strongest practical advantages of this model.

This model is categorized in the datasheet as a Layer 3 switch. It supports IPv4 static routing, IPv6 static routing, OSPFv2, and OSPFv3, along with DHCP relay, DHCP server, DHCP client, ARP, IPv4 and IPv6 ping, and traceroute functions. The datasheet also lists up to 500 IPv4 static routes and up to 128 IPv6 static routes. That means it can do more than basic VLAN switching and is better suited for segmented networks that need routing intelligence at the switch level.

The switch includes a broad set of security controls aimed at protecting business networks. The datasheet lists DHCP snooping, standard ACL, extended MAC ACL, extended IP ACL, IPv6 ACL, IP-MAC-Port binding, ARP anti-spoofing, IP source guard, and CPU protection policy. It also supports 802.1X authentication, MAC-based 802.1X authentication, port-based 802.1X authentication, RADIUS, guest VLAN, and storm control. Together, those features make it a much stronger option for controlled enterprise or SMB environments than an unmanaged switch.

Yes, the datasheet includes several features that are especially relevant to surveillance deployments. It supports camera detection, PoE watchdog, PoE service failure monitoring, PoE power overload alerts, and a recommended camera limit metric in the system performance section. The datasheet lists a recommended camera limit of 350 at 200 W H.265 and 170 at 400 W H.265, which helps indicate its intended CCTV-related performance planning context. For installers working with powered edge devices and camera networks, those surveillance-oriented management features are highly practical.

Yes, it supports advanced traffic segmentation and control features. The official datasheet lists support for up to 4094 VLANs, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, Voice VLAN, LLDP, LLDP-MED, static aggregation, LACP, and inbound or outbound rate limiting based on interface traffic. It also supports QoS functions such as 802.1p priority-based classification, DSCP priority-based classification, SP, WRR, and SP+WRR scheduling. That combination helps make the switch suitable for mixed voice, data, wireless, and surveillance environments where traffic policy matters.

The package contents are clearly listed in the official datasheet. In the box, you get the switch itself, 4 rubber pads, 1 power cord retention clip, 8 M3 x 6 mm screws, 1 grounding cable, 1 power cord, 2 rack-mount brackets, 1 user manual, and 1 warranty card. Those included accessories are useful for both rack installation and standard deployment preparation. The datasheet also specifies that the unit is rack-mountable and uses a fixed power supply.
