Yealink RCH80 8-Port L2+ Gigabit Managed Switch with Web-Based Management (1303227)
The RCH80 is an 8-port L2+ web-based managed switch purpose-built for professional AV over IP environments. It provides 8x Gigabit RJ45 PoE+ ports and 2x Gigabit SFP fiber uplink ports, with a 130W total PoE+ budget that powers multiple endpoints, microphones, touch consoles, and cameras, without requiring external power supplies.
Optimized for Yealink AV protocols as well as industry standards Dante and AES67, the RCH80 delivers seamless connectivity for Yealink MTR systems, MVC and VCH devices, cameras, Pro Audio equipment, and Yealink AVoIP encoders and decoders such as the EN300 and DE300. L2+ managed features, including VLAN, multicast control, QoS, access control, DHCP, and 802.1x authentication, deliver enterprise-grade network management, while a robust metal chassis and fanless design ensure quiet, dependable operation. It ships plug-and-play ready for Yealink devices, with IGMP snooping enabled and EEE disabled by default for signal stability. Before ordering, confirm the room's total PoE power needs fall within the 130W budget across all connected devices.

Certifications and Compatibility
- Yealink MTR systems, MVC, VCH, and MeetingBar devices: plug-and-play ready.
- Yealink AVoIP: compatible with EN300/DE300 encoders and decoders.
- Dante and AES67: supported for third-party Pro Audio interoperability.
- Compatibility is limited to Yealink-published AV over IP components. Confirm current compatibility against the Yealink RCH80/RCH240 datasheet for your specific deployment.
Design Considerations
- Confirm the room's total PoE power draw across all connected devices fits within the 130W budget.
- Plan port allocation across the 8 Gigabit RJ45 ports and 2 SFP fiber uplinks.
- Use the L2+ managed features (VLAN, QoS, access control) to segment and prioritize AV traffic on the network.
- Choose desktop or rack mounting based on the installation location.
- For multi-room standardization, specify a consistent RCH80 deployment across every AVoIP-based room.
VideoConferenceGear.com Assistance
We can confirm the RCH80 is correctly sized for your room's PoE power needs, and help plan port allocation across connected Yealink devices. We can advise on VLAN and QoS configuration for AV traffic prioritization, and confirm compatibility with your EN300/DE300 or MVC/VCH deployment. For multi-room and multi-site programs we can help standardize the switch architecture across every AVoIP-based room.
