Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is ideal for medium to large workgroup environments where high port density and reliable performance are required. Its Layer 3 capabilities make it suitable for network segmentation and inter-VLAN routing in office buildings, educational campuses, or healthcare facilities.
The four high-speed uplink slots allow it to serve as an aggregation switch, connecting multiple access switches to core network infrastructure. The rack-mountable design and TAA compliance also make it appropriate for government or enterprise deployments with specific procurement requirements.
Workgroup Connectivity Hub
Connect up to 48 desktop computers, IP phones, wireless access points, and other network devices with Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Network Aggregation Point
Use the 50 Gigabit uplinks to consolidate traffic from multiple access switches, reducing backbone congestion.
Physical Profile
The switch features a compact 1U rack-mountable design measuring 1.73 inches in height, 17.40 inches in width, and 15.20 inches in depth. This standard form factor fits easily into server racks alongside other networking equipment. The 13.27-pound weight and built-in power supply contribute to a stable, deployment-ready package that simplifies installation and maintenance.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (43.94 mm), 17.40" (441.96 mm), 15.20" (386.08 mm), 13.27 lb (6020 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
