Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates as a full-featured Layer 2 device, supporting essential networking standards including IEEE 802.3af/at for PoE, 802.1Q for VLANs, 802.1p for QoS, and 802.1x for network access control. Its smart management interface provides intuitive control over network configuration, monitoring, and security without the complexity of enterprise-grade CLI.
The integrated 370W PoE budget efficiently powers connected devices, while auto Denial of Service (DoS) prevention and energy-efficient Ethernet (802.3az) enhance network stability and reduce operational costs. It supports both twisted pair and optical fiber media via its SFP+ slots, allowing for longer-distance connections and high data transmission rates.
