Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch provides 24 fixed Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting end-user devices, servers, or access points, along with four SFP+ slots for 10 Gigabit uplinks. The SFP+ slots support both optical fiber and copper transceivers, offering flexibility for backbone connections or long-distance links. Layer 3 capabilities include static routing, RIP, and OSPF for scalable network segmentation and inter-VLAN routing.
The fanless design ensures silent operation, ideal for office environments or edge deployments where noise reduction is important. It supports a comprehensive set of networking standards, including IEEE 802.3af/at for PoE readiness (though no PoE budget is specified in this model), IEEE 802.1Q for VLANs, IEEE 802.1x for port-based authentication, and IEEE 802.3ad for link aggregation.
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.
