Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch delivers enterprise-grade switching performance with a maximum data transfer rate of 1.25 GB/s, facilitating high-speed data flow across all ports. The 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports operate at 10/100/1000Base-T speeds over twisted-pair cabling, while the four dedicated 10 Gigabit SFP+ expansion slots provide high-bandwidth uplinks for connecting to core switches, servers, or fiber backbones. These SFP+ slots support both optical fiber and copper transceivers, offering flexibility in media selection based on distance and infrastructure requirements.
Layer 3 switching capabilities enable advanced routing functions, VLAN segmentation, and policy-based traffic management directly at the switch level, reducing reliance on external routers for intra-network communication. The switch is fully manageable via a comprehensive set of protocols, including SNMP, CLI, and web-based interfaces, allowing granular control over network configuration, monitoring, and security policies.
