FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have?
The Cisco SG350-28MP-K9-BR includes 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports that all support PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus). This allows you to deliver both data and power to devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras over a single cable, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.
What expansion options are available with the SFP slots?
This switch has four SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots, compatible with mini-GBIC modules. These slots support fiber optic or long-distance copper connections, enabling uplinks to core switches or connections between network segments. The shared SFP design provides flexibility for expanding your network's reach and bandwidth.
Is this a managed switch, and what features does it offer?
Yes, this is a fully managed Layer 2 switch. It offers features such as IGMP snooping for multicast traffic optimization, port mirroring for network monitoring, and spanning tree protocol for loop prevention. Managed capabilities allow for VLAN configuration, QoS settings, and detailed port management, providing control over network performance and security.
What rack size does this switch fit?
The switch is designed for 1U rack mounting, meaning it occupies one unit of height in a standard 19-inch server rack. Its dimensions are 1.45 inches tall, 17.30 inches wide, and 10.10 inches deep, making it compact and suitable for data centers, server rooms, or network closets where space efficiency is important.
Does this switch support fiber optic connections?
Yes, the switch supports optical fiber connections through its SFP slots. It is compatible with Gigabit Ethernet over fiber (1000Base-X), allowing for high-speed data transmission over longer distances compared to copper cables. This makes it ideal for linking switches across buildings or in environments with electromagnetic interference.
What is the power supply configuration?
The switch includes a built-in power supply that provides accurate voltage to all components. It does not support redundant power supplies, so for critical deployments, consider external UPS backup. The PoE+ ports can deliver power to connected devices, with the total PoE budget dependent on the specific model and connected load.
