FAQ
How many ports does this Cisco switch have?
The Cisco IE-2000-8TC-G-L has 8 network ports, all supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds. These ports are suitable for connecting computers, printers, and other network devices in a small to medium-sized LAN environment.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this switch does not support Power over Ethernet on its RJ-45 ports. It requires a separate power supply for operation and does not provide power to connected devices like IP phones or wireless access points.
What are the SFP slots used for?
The 2 SFP slots allow for fiber optic or copper SFP transceiver modules, enabling uplink connections to other switches or network backbones. This provides flexibility for extending network reach or integrating with high-speed fiber infrastructure.
Is this a managed or unmanaged switch?
This is a managed switch, offering Layer 2 features such as VLANs, QoS, and security protocols. Managed switches provide greater control over network traffic, performance monitoring, and configuration compared to unmanaged models.
Can this switch be mounted in a rack?
Yes, the switch is rail-mountable, allowing installation in standard 19-inch server racks. It also supports desktop placement, giving you flexibility based on your space and deployment preferences.
What is the warranty period for this switch?
The Cisco IE-2000-8TC-G-L comes with a 1-year limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty provides assurance of product reliability and support from the manufacturer.
