Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates as a Layer 2 device with 24 auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that automatically detect and configure the optimal speed and duplex settings for each connected device. The four SFP expansion slots are non-shared, providing dedicated fiber connectivity options that support 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX, and 1000Base-LX standards for backbone or uplink applications.
The switch architecture is optimized for plug-and-play deployment, requiring no management intervention for basic operation. It supports a full suite of Ethernet switching features, including VLAN support, QoS prioritization, and broadcast storm control, which help maintain network stability and performance in mixed-traffic environments.

FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE+?
The AT-GS950/28PS-10 has a total PoE budget of 370W, which can power multiple PoE+ devices simultaneously. Each port can deliver up to 30W following the IEEE 802.3at standard. The exact number of powered devices depends on their individual power requirements, but typically you can power 12-24 devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras while maintaining full Gigabit connectivity.
Can I use this switch for fiber connections between buildings?
Yes, the four SFP slots support various fiber standards including 100Base-FX for Fast Ethernet over fiber, 1000Base-SX for multimode fiber up to 550 meters, and 1000Base-LX for single-mode fiber up to 10 kilometers. You would need to install compatible SFP transceivers (sold separately) to convert the electrical signals to optical signals for building-to-building connections or long-distance uplinks.
Is this switch manageable for VLAN configuration?
This is a WebSmart switch, which provides basic management capabilities through a web interface without requiring command-line expertise. You can configure VLANs, port mirroring, QoS settings, and other Layer 2 features through the intuitive web interface. However, it does not support advanced management features like SNMP, CLI access, or enterprise-grade monitoring found in fully managed switches.
What is the difference between WebSmart and unmanaged switches?
WebSmart switches offer basic configuration capabilities through a web browser interface, allowing you to set up VLANs, port configurations, and basic QoS without command-line knowledge. Unmanaged switches typically have no configuration options at all. The AT-GS950/28PS-10 provides more control than pure unmanaged switches while remaining simpler to configure than fully managed switches, making it ideal for small businesses without dedicated networking staff.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard server rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting with included brackets and screws. Its 1U height (1.73 inches) fits perfectly in most server racks and network cabinets. The compact dimensions of 17.72" wide by 9.84" deep ensure compatibility with most rack environments while leaving sufficient space for cable management and airflow.
What types of network cables are supported by this switch?
The 24 copper ports support standard twisted-pair Ethernet cables (Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a) for 10/100/1000BASE-T connections. The four SFP slots support fiber optic cables when used with appropriate SFP transceivers. The switch features auto-MDI/MDIX on all copper ports, eliminating the need for crossover cables and allowing you to use standard straight-through cables for all connections.
