User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The switch has 48 PoE+ ports and a 740W total PoE budget. It can power up to 48 PoE or PoE+ devices simultaneously, with each port supporting up to 30W under IEEE 802.3at (PoE+). The actual number of powered devices depends on their individual power requirements; for example, it could power 24 devices at 30W each or mix lower-power devices like IP phones (7W) with higher-power wireless access points (30W).
What are the uplink options on this switch?
This switch includes four SFP+ uplink slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. You can use SFP+ transceivers for either copper (10GBase-T) or fiber (10GBase-X) media, allowing flexibility based on distance and infrastructure. These uplinks are ideal for connecting to core switches, servers, or aggregation points, providing high-speed backbone connectivity without sacrificing port density for end devices.
Does this switch support Layer 3 routing?
Yes, this is a Layer 3 managed switch, meaning it supports routing functions such as static routing and policy-based routing.
