Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch supports Gigabit Ethernet across all ports, with network technology covering 10/100/1000Base-T for copper connections and 1000Base-X for fiber uplinks. The 48 copper ports handle data transfer up to 100 meters over cost-effective twisted pair cables, while the 4 SFP slots enable fiber optic connections for longer distances or higher bandwidth needs.
Layer 2 switching capabilities include VLAN support, QoS for traffic prioritization, and basic security features like port-based access control. The manageable interface allows network administrators to configure settings via a web-based interface, simplifying setup and ongoing maintenance. The switch does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) on its RJ-45 ports, making it ideal for data-only deployments where powered devices are handled separately.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Modular, Port/Expansion Slot Details, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
