FAQ
How many ports does this ComNet switch have and what are their speeds?
The ComNet CNGE2FE4SMS Ethernet Switch features six total network ports. This includes four Fast Ethernet ports operating at 10/100 Mbps and two Gigabit Ethernet ports for higher bandwidth requirements. The Fast Ethernet ports use 10/100Base-TX technology, while the Gigabit ports support 1000Base-FX connections.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this switch does not support Power over Ethernet. The CNGE2FE4SMS requires connected devices to have their own power sources. The switch itself is powered by an included DC plug-in power supply, which provides stable voltage to all switch components.
What expansion capabilities does this switch offer?
The switch includes two dedicated SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots for expansion. These slots support optical fiber connections, allowing you to extend network reach using fiber optic cables. The SFP slots are not shared with other ports, providing dedicated expansion capability without affecting existing copper connections.
What mounting options are available for this Ethernet switch?
The CNGE2FE4SMS offers three mounting options: wall mounting, rail mounting, and rack mounting. This flexibility makes it suitable for various installation environments. The compact 1.10" width allows for high-density deployments in standard rack systems, while wall mounting provides space-saving solutions for smaller network closets or conference rooms.
What Layer does this switch operate at and what features does it support?
This is a Layer 2 managed switch that operates at the data link layer of the OSI model. It supports essential Layer 2 features including IGMP snooping for multicast traffic management, port mirroring for network monitoring and troubleshooting, and spanning tree protocol for network loop prevention. These features provide reliable switching with basic management capabilities.
What is included in the warranty for this ComNet switch?
