Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is engineered for deployment in enterprise office networks, campus environments, and medium-sized data centers where reliable, high-performance switching is required. Its 24-port base with 10G uplinks suits it perfectly for aggregating workstations, VoIP systems, and wireless infrastructure while maintaining a path for growth.
Common use cases include serving as an access switch in a stacked or standalone configuration, acting as a distribution switch for multiple access layers, or functioning as a core switch for smaller networks. The rack-mountable design and standard 19-inch mounting compatibility ensure seamless integration into existing network closets or data center racks.
Enterprise Access Layer
Connect end-user devices, IP phones, and APs with Gigabit Ethernet, using PoE to power devices and 10G uplinks to aggregate traffic to the distribution layer.
Small Business Core
Deploy as the primary switch in a compact network, leveraging Layer 3 routing to interconnect VLANs and direct traffic without a separate router.
Physical Profile
The switch features a durable black steel chassis with dimensions of 1.72" (43.70 mm) height, 17.42" (442.50 mm) width, and 11.20" (284.50 mm) depth, occupying a single rack unit (1U) for efficient space utilization. Its 8.31 lb weight and standard rack-mount ears facilitate easy installation in 19-inch racks, with front-to-back airflow supporting optimal cooling in enclosed environments.
