EnGenius Multi-Gig Switches at Streakwave

As networks evolve to support Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and emerging Wi-Fi 7 deployments, higher-resolution video systems, and an increasing number of powered edge devices, switching infrastructure needs to scale accordingly. EnGenius ECS multi-gig switches are designed to support these higher throughput and power requirements, delivering 2.5G access where it matters and high-speed uplinks for efficient traffic aggregation.

With a range of access and aggregation models, the ECS series supports flexible network designs across small business, hospitality, education, and enterprise environments—allowing installers and IT teams to modernize performance without unnecessary cable replacement.

Multi-Gig Switching for Modern Network Design

Multi-gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet allows network operators to increase available bandwidth at the access layer while continuing to use existing Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. This makes multi-gig switching a practical option when upgrading wireless access points, surveillance systems, or other high-throughput edge devices.

Combined with 10G uplinks, multi-gig access helps maintain consistent performance across the network by supporting higher aggregate traffic levels between access, aggregation, and core layers.

Product Lineup

Compact Multi-Gig PoE Access Switch

Best for: small office / retail / micro-branch needing multi-gig + PoE
What it’s great at: powering a handful of APs/cameras while providing faster edge bandwidth

Key features:

• Multi-gig access with PoE for modern edge devices
• High-speed uplinks to connect back to your router/firewall or aggregation switch
• PoE+ support for access points, cameras, and phones
• Compact option for environments with limited rack space

Multi-Gig Access Switch (Non-PoE)

Best for: small networks that need multi-gig, but don’t need PoE on the switch
What it’s great at: clean, cost-efficient multi-gig access switching where power is handled elsewhere

Key features:

• Multi-gig access switching for high-throughput endpoints
• Fast uplink options for a simple, fast core connection

High-Density Multi-Gig PoE Access Switch

Best for: growing SMBs that want a high-port-count, multi-gig PoE access layer
What it’s great at: floor switching for dense AP/camera deployments

Key features:

• Higher port density for edge devices (APs, cameras, phones)
• PoE+ support across access ports
• Uplinks built for aggregation so the access layer doesn’t bottleneck

Multi-Gig PoE Access Switch with Enhanced Uplink Capacity

Best for: multi-gig PoE access deployments that also need strong uplink flexibility
What it’s great at: bridging the access layer to a faster core while feeding high-demand edge devices

Key features:

• Multi-gig PoE access for Wi-Fi APs and powered endpoints
• Enhanced uplink capacity for higher aggregate throughput
• PoE++ support for higher-power access points and devices

High-Capacity Multi-Gig PoE Access Switch

Best for: high-density access switching where you’re powering a large number of devices
What it’s great at: large edge deployments that need multi-gig plus PoE at scale

Key features:

• High port count suited to dense environments
• PoE+ support for advanced Wi-Fi APs and powered endpoints
• Built for aggregation-ready uplinking to keep edge traffic moving

10G Aggregation & Core Switching

If your access layer is multi-gig, your aggregation should keep up. These ECS55xx models are great fits for distribution/core roles, server/NAS interconnects, and high-speed uplinking from multiple closets.

10G Aggregation / Core Switch

Best for: 10G aggregation where you don’t need fiber on every run
What it’s great at: compact 10G switching for cores, small server rooms, or inter-closet aggregation

Key features:

• 10G switching to aggregate multiple access switches
• Great for core/distribution roles in SMB networks

10G Fiber Aggregation / Core Switch

Best for: fiber-forward 10G aggregation (long runs, EMI-heavy environments, or campus links)
What it’s great at: distribution where fiber makes the most sense

Key features:

• 10G fiber-focused connectivity for longer uplinks and cleaner pathways
• Ideal when copper distance limits or interference are concerns

10G Aggregation Switch with PoE

Best for: 10G aggregation plus PoE needs in the same footprint
What it’s great at: powering a small set of high-importance edge devices while acting as a fast core

Key features:

• 10G aggregation performance
• PoE++ support for nearby access points, cameras, or controllers
• Combines aggregation and selective power delivery in a single platform

Whether you’re upgrading a few APs in a small office or designing a multi-closet network with a 10G backbone, EnGenius ECS multi-gig switches help you build an access layer that’s ready for modern throughput demands without forcing a full recable or a rip-and-replace approach.
