Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates as a full-featured Layer 2 device, supporting advanced functions like IGMP snooping, port mirroring, spanning tree protocols (IEEE 802.1D, 802.1w), and link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad). It handles 10/100/1000Base-T copper connections and 100/1000Base-X fiber via the SFP slots, accommodating both twisted-pair and optical media.
The 48 RJ-45 ports auto-negotiate speed and duplex, while the four SFP expansion slots allow fiber uplinks or long-distance copper runs. Managed through a web interface or compatible tools, it offers granular control over VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q), QoS (IEEE 802.1p), and energy-efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az).
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Uplink Port, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for small to medium offices, retail locations, or branch environments, this switch provides the port density and management capabilities needed for reliable wired networking. It serves as a core aggregation switch for departments or a distribution layer switch in multi-floor buildings.
Use it to connect workstations, printers, IP phones, and access points, with SFP uplinks linking to other switches or routers. The under-table or wall-mount options make it suitable for tight spaces like retail counters or classroom labs, while rack mounting integrates neatly into server rooms or network closets.
Office Network Backbone
Deploy as the main switch for an office floor, connecting dozens of devices with Gigabit speed and managing traffic through VLANs and QoS settings.
Retail or Education Hub
Mount under tables or on walls in point-of-sale areas or computer labs, providing reliable connectivity without consuming desk space.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 17.44 inches wide, 9.96 inches deep, and 9.96 inches high, with a weight of 7.80 pounds. Its steel construction ensures durability, and the included post rack kit simplifies rack installation. The low power consumption of 40.20 watts reduces operating costs and heat output, making it suitable for enclosed spaces.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 9.96" (253 mm), 17.44" (443 mm), 9.96" (253 mm), 7.80 lb (3538.020486 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
