Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is ideal for office networks, small to medium business data centers, and educational environments where reliable switching with management capabilities is required. The 1U form factor makes it suitable for standard rack installations in server rooms or network closets.
Common deployment scenarios include acting as a distribution switch in hierarchical network designs, providing connectivity for VoIP phone systems, or serving as the core switch for departmental networks. The refurbished condition makes it particularly valuable for budget-conscious organizations seeking enterprise-grade hardware.
Office Network Core
Connect workstations, printers, and servers with Gigabit speeds while maintaining separate VLANs for different departments or security zones through managed switching features.
Server Room Distribution
Provide high-density connectivity for server racks with the option for fiber uplinks to core switches or other network segments, utilizing the SFP slots for high-speed backbone connections.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 1.73" in height, 17.50" in width, and 17.63" in depth, fitting standard 19-inch rack systems as a 1U device. The rack-mountable design includes appropriate mounting hardware for secure installation in data center environments. The weight of 15.15 pounds reflects the robust construction typical of enterprise networking equipment.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (43.94 mm), 17.50" (444.50 mm), 17.63" (447.68 mm), 15.15 lb (6871.924406 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
