User Manual
FAQ
What is the PoE budget of this switch and what can it power?
The switch provides a 740W PoE budget, distributed across its 48 PoE+ ports. This budget can support numerous Power over Ethernet devices simultaneously, such as VoIP phones, wireless access points (802.11ac or 802.11ax), IP security cameras, and other IEEE 802.3at-compliant equipment. The per-port power allocation is managed dynamically, ensuring connected devices receive the appropriate power levels without overloading the switch's capacity.
How many SFP uplink slots are available and what are they used for?
This switch includes four SFP (mini-GBIC) slots. These slots are used for uplink connections to other switches, routers, or network cores, allowing for fiber optic or copper Gigabit Ethernet links. They enable longer-distance connections (via fiber), higher bandwidth aggregation, or redundant paths in network designs. The SFP slots support standard SFP transceivers for flexibility in media choice and distance requirements.
Does this switch support Layer 3 routing and what are the benefits?
Yes, this is a Layer 3 managed switch. Layer 3 support means it can perform routing functions between VLANs, implement access control lists (ACLs), and support routing protocols like static routing or OSPF. Benefits include reduced latency by routing traffic locally, improved network segmentation for security and performance, and scalability for growing networks without requiring a separate router for inter-VLAN traffic.
What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?
The switch measures 1.73" (44 mm) in height, 17.40" (442 mm) in width, and 12.70" (323 mm) in depth, with a weight of 10.36 lb (4.7 kg). It is designed for 1U rack mounting in standard 19" racks, but also supports cabinet mounting, surface mounting, and wall mounting. This versatility allows installation in data centers, wiring closets, wall-mounted enclosures, or under desks, depending on space and deployment needs.
What networking standards does this switch comply with?
The switch complies with a wide range of IEEE standards, including IEEE 802.3 for Ethernet, 802.3at and 802.3af for PoE, 802.3az for Energy Efficient Ethernet, 802.3ad for Link Aggregation, and key 802.1 standards for spanning tree (802.1D, 802.1w), VLANs (802.1Q), LLDP (802.1ab), priority tagging (802.1p), and port-based authentication (802.1x). This ensures interoperability with other network devices and support for advanced features like VLANs, link aggregation, and power management.
What is the power consumption and input voltage range?
The switch has a typical power consumption of 49.70 watts. It accepts input voltages of 120V AC and 230V AC, making it suitable for use in North America and international regions without requiring a voltage converter. The built-in power supply is auto-sensing, automatically adjusting to the available voltage, and includes a single installed power supply unit for reliable operation in standard commercial power environments.
