User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The switch has a total PoE budget of 370 watts, which can be distributed across its 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The exact number of powered devices depends on their individual power requirements, but it can support numerous IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) and 802.3at (30W) compliant devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras simultaneously.
What types of uplink connections are supported?
This switch includes four SFP+ slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. You can use SFP+ optical transceivers for fiber optic connections to span longer distances, or SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for short-reach connections to servers or other switches. This provides flexible high-speed backbone connectivity.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it offer?
Yes, it is a smart managed Layer 2 switch. Management features include VLAN support (IEEE 802.1Q), Quality of Service (QoS) with IEEE 802.1p prioritization, port mirroring for monitoring, IGMP snooping for efficient multicast traffic, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP/MSTP) for loop prevention, and IEEE 802.1x for port-based network access control.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard server rack?
Absolutely. The switch is designed for 1U rack mounting and includes the necessary hardware for installation in standard 19-inch server racks. Its dimensions (1.73"H x 17.42"W x 12.70"D) are optimized for rack use, but it also supports wall mounting, tabletop placement, or under-table mounting for versatile deployment scenarios.
What are the power requirements for this switch?
The switch has a built-in power supply that accepts input voltages of 120V AC or 230V AC. Its typical power consumption is 520 watts when fully loaded. This includes power for the switch itself plus the PoE budget delivered to connected devices. It is designed for standard commercial power outlets.
Does this switch support fiber optic connections?
Yes, through its four SFP+ expansion slots. By installing compatible SFP+ optical transceivers, you can connect the switch to fiber optic cabling. This allows for network segments that span longer distances than traditional copper Ethernet, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and provide high data transmission rates for backbone or uplink connections.
What uplink, SFP, fiber, or media support detail is listed?
The warranty or support detail listed is Yes, giving buyers a clearer picture of expected coverage after purchase.
Does the product support PoE or wireless networking?
Connectivity support is listed in the product specifications, including the relevant wireless or port options when available.
