JGS516PE during hot days
Hey guys
Im wanting to buy a POE switch. I want to store it in a mounted switch cabinet in my garage. As I dont have much spare space inside
The problem though is the garage gets pretty hot in summer hot days. If the garage hits about 45 degrees how do you think the switch will cope if it is in a switch cabinet with some exhaust fans?

Hi Drekko,
Welcome to our community!
The JGS516PE has been designed to operate at a maximum of 50C degrees celsius, see below the datasheet:

Considering your environment adding exhaust fans to your cabinet definetly will help, moreover please consider improving your air flow in your garage to stay below the 50C.
Hope it Helps!

Thanks very much
for some reason I thought it was 0 to 40 degrees C?
I definently read that somewhere..
What happens if the room is 55 degress? :)
Hi Drekko,
I double checked in our internal specs and I can confirm that 0-50C if you remember where you saw 0-40 please let us know and we will modify it :)

Sorry one more question does this have 1 internal fan ? Where does the fan exahust the hot air out because I cannot see any ventilation on the unit?
HI Drekko,
Yes it has an internal Fan and ventilation air holes on the side, see pictures below :
