Enterprise Wiring Closets
Deploy in office buildings or campuses to provide PoE+ to endpoints while maintaining high-speed Gigabit connectivity and security segmentation.
Converged Networks
Unify voice, data, and wireless traffic across a single network, leveraging the four SFP slots for fiber uplinks to core switches or servers.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 1.70" in height, 17.30" in width, and 12.20" in depth, fitting standard 19-inch racks with a 1U footprint. Its weight of 11.20 lb ensures stable mounting without excessive load. The rack-mountable design includes front-accessible ports and SFP slots for easy cabling and maintenance in constrained spaces.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.70" (43.18 mm), 17.30" (439.42 mm), 12.20" (309.88 mm), 11.20 lb (5080.23 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
