User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can be powered with the 740W PoE budget?
The 740W PoE budget can power multiple PoE+ devices simultaneously, such as IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras. The exact number depends on each device's power draw, but it supports high-density deployments typical in enterprise environments.
What types of SFP modules are compatible with the uplink slots?
The four SFP (mini-GBIC) slots support standard SFP modules for 100/1000Base-X connections, including both fiber (e.g., SFP LC) and copper (e.g., SFP RJ-45) options. This allows flexible uplink configurations to match your network's cabling infrastructure.
Can this switch be used as a core switch in a small network?
Yes, with Layer 3 capabilities and 48 ports, this switch can serve as a core switch in small to medium networks, handling routing between VLANs and aggregating traffic from access switches or directly connected devices.
