Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch features 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports with full PoE+ capability, delivering up to 30W per port to compatible devices. The two dedicated Gigabit uplink ports facilitate cascading to core switches or routers, while the two SFP+ slots support 10GBase-X transceivers for fiber or copper uplinks, extending network reach and bandwidth.
Layer 2 switching provides VLAN support, QoS prioritization, and spanning tree protocols for network stability and segmentation. The manageable interface allows for configuration of port settings, security policies, and traffic monitoring via CLI or web management. Power consumption is optimized at 21.90W under typical load, reducing operational costs in always-on environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The switch has a total PoE budget of 139W and 12 PoE-capable ports. It can power multiple devices like IP phones (typically 3-7W each), wireless access points (10-20W each), or security cameras (5-15W each) simultaneously, as long as the total power draw does not exceed 139W. Each port supports the PoE+ standard, delivering up to 30W per port.
What types of uplink connections does this switch support?
This switch supports two types of uplink connections: two dedicated Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports for copper connections and two SFP+ expansion slots for 10 Gigabit uplinks. The SFP+ slots accept compatible transceivers for optical fiber or copper cables, allowing high-speed connections to core switches or routers over longer distances.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it offer?
Yes, this is a fully manageable Layer 2 switch. It supports features such as VLAN configuration for network segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing traffic like voice or video, spanning tree protocols for loop prevention, and port-based security. Management can be done via command-line interface (CLI) or web-based interface for easy configuration and monitoring.
Can this switch be mounted in a server rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for 1U rack mounting, fitting standard 19-inch server racks. It also supports wall mounting and surface mounting, providing flexibility for installations in server rooms, wiring closets, or on desktops. The compact dimensions make it suitable for space-constrained environments.
What is the difference between the Gigabit ports and the SFP+ slots?
The 12 Gigabit ports are RJ-45 ports that support 10/100/1000Base-T connections over twisted pair cables, with PoE+ capability to power devices. The two SFP+ slots are expansion slots that accept SFP+ transceivers for 10 Gigabit connections (10GBase-X), supporting either optical fiber for long-distance links or copper for shorter runs. The SFP+ slots provide higher bandwidth uplinks compared to the Gigabit ports.
What does refurbished condition mean for this switch?
Refurbished means the switch has been previously used or returned, then professionally tested, cleaned, and restored to full working condition. It may show minor cosmetic wear but functions like new, with all ports, PoE capabilities, and management features verified. Refurbished products offer a cost-effective alternative to new hardware while maintaining reliability and performance.
What uplink, SFP, fiber, or media support detail is listed?
The warranty or support detail listed is Yes, giving buyers a clearer picture of expected coverage after purchase.
Does the product support PoE or wireless networking?
Connectivity support is listed in the product specifications, including the relevant wireless or port options when available.
