J9990A Use Case
Campus IP Surveillance with High-Power PTZ Cameras
In a university campus deployment, the J9990A-20P POE+ / 4P SFP+ V3 ZL2 MOD PL=35 switch powers 20 high-power PTZ security cameras (up to 35 W per port) and backhauls video over four 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks to a central NVR. This delivers resilient, high-bandwidth surveillance traffic with simplified cabling, centralized management and real-time monitoring, accelerating incident response and reducing installation complexity.
Enterprise Wireless & VoIP Aggregation
In a corporate headquarters, the J9990A-20P POE+ / 4P SFP+ V3 ZL2 MOD PL=35 switch supplies PoE+ power to 16 Wi-Fi 6 access points and 4 IP phones while aggregating data via four 10 GbE SFP+ links to the data center. This ensures consistent 35 W-per-port delivery, consolidated uplink capacity and unified management, boosting wireless performance, streamlining network operations and lowering total cost of ownership.
Retail Edge for Digital Signage & Access Control
At a multi-site retail chain edge, the J9990A-20P POE+ / 4P SFP+ V3 ZL2 MOD PL=35 switch powers up to 20 digital signage displays and door-access controllers, with four 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks to the regional NOC. This provides reliable 35 W-per-port PoE+, high-throughput fiber connectivity and remote health monitoring, optimizing in-store customer engagement, enhancing security and simplifying branch deployments.
