Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates as a full Layer 2 device, supporting a comprehensive set of networking standards including IEEE 802.3af/at for PoE, IEEE 802.1Q for VLAN tagging, and IEEE 802.1x for network access control. The 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports auto-negotiate to 10/100/1000Base-T speeds, while the four SFP+ slots accommodate optical fiber or copper transceivers for 10GBase-X connectivity, enabling flexible backbone or long-distance links.
Power efficiency is built in with features like Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) per IEEE 802.3az, reducing power consumption during low data activity. The integrated power supply accepts 120-230V AC input, and the switch includes auto Denial of Service (DoS) prevention to safeguard network integrity. Its plug-and-play setup simplifies deployment, yet offers granular control through a web-based management interface for tailored network configurations.
This section brings together practical product details such as Features, Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Uplink Port, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
