User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power?
The switch has a total PoE budget of 740 watts, which can power multiple PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras. The exact number depends on the power requirements of each connected device, but this budget supports substantial PoE deployments without external power injectors.
What types of uplink connections are supported?
The switch includes four SFP+ slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. These slots can be used with SFP+ transceivers for fiber optic cables or direct-attach copper cables, providing high-speed uplinks to core switches, servers, or network storage for increased bandwidth.
Is this switch fanless, and what are the benefits?
Yes, this switch features a fanless design. This eliminates moving parts, reducing potential points of failure and ensuring silent operation. It is ideal for noise-sensitive environments like offices, classrooms, or retail spaces, and requires no fan maintenance over its lifespan.
What management features does this Layer 2 switch offer?
As a managed Layer 2 switch, it supports VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q) for network segmentation, Quality of Service (IEEE 802.1p) for traffic prioritization, link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad), and spanning tree protocols (IEEE 802.1D/w/s) for loop prevention. These features provide control over network traffic, security, and reliability.
