User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The switch has 8 PoE+ capable ports with a total PoE budget of 124W. This allows it to power multiple PoE devices simultaneously, such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras, with the exact number depending on each device's power requirements. The switch automatically negotiates power delivery with connected devices to ensure efficient operation.
What are the SFP+ ports used for on this switch?
The two SFP+ ports provide high-speed uplink connectivity at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. They can be used to connect to servers, core switches, or network storage devices using either fiber optic or copper SFP+ transceivers. These ports offer significantly higher throughput than standard Gigabit Ethernet ports, making them ideal for backbone connections or high-bandwidth applications.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does management include?
Yes, this is a smart managed Layer 2 switch.
