Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates on Gigabit Ethernet technology (10/100/1000Base-TX and 100/1000Base-FX), supporting both cost-effective twisted pair cabling for runs up to 100 meters and high-speed optical fiber via its two dedicated SFP (mini-GBIC) expansion slots. These slots provide flexible uplink options for connecting to network backbones or extending distance without shared port constraints.
The switching fabric is built for modern network demands, adhering to a broad set of IEEE standards including 802.3at/af for PoE, 802.1Q for VLANs, 802.3ad for link aggregation, and 802.3az for energy-efficient Ethernet. With a total PoE budget of 250W and a power consumption of 296W, it efficiently manages connected devices. The device accepts 120-230V AC input, offering compatibility with standard power infrastructures.
This section brings together practical product details such as Features, Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Modular, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

- Delivers up to 25.5W per port
- Simplifies cable runs and installation
- Centralizes power management
Flexible Fiber Connectivity
The two independent SFP slots enable fiber optic uplinks for long-distance, high-bandwidth connections to core switches or between buildings, providing immunity to EMI and supporting greater reach.
- Dedicated, non-shared slots
- Supports various SFP transceivers
- Enables backbone and long-haul links
Deployment / Use Cases
This managed switch is particularly effective in segmented business environments such as multi-tenant units (MTUs) or multi-business unit buildings. Its Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limiters allow building managers or service providers to allocate specific network resources per tenant, ensuring fair usage and maintaining service level agreements.
Ideal for small to medium business networks, retail backbones, and office deployments, it provides the uplink flexibility for growth. The rack-mountable design with included brackets facilitates clean, professional installation in standard 19" racks, organizing cables and securing the switch in server rooms or wiring closets.
Multi-Tenant Office Building
Serve multiple businesses on a single physical switch by using VLANs (802.1Q) and per-port bandwidth limits to create secure, isolated networks for each tenant, all while powering their VoIP phones and Wi-Fi.
IP Surveillance & Access Control
Deploy as the core switch for a security system, powering multiple high-resolution PoE+ cameras and access control panels directly, with fiber uplinks sending high-bandwidth video feeds back to the NVR.
Physical Profile
Engineered for standard rack integration, the switch measures 1.73" (1U) in height, 17.40" in width, and 8.30" in depth, fitting seamlessly into most rack enclosures. Its solid metal construction and weight of 6.60 lbs provide stability. The fanless design not only reduces noise but also minimizes points of failure, contributing to higher mean time between failures (MTBF) in 24/7 operational environments.

User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power simultaneously with PoE+?
The switch has a total PoE budget of 250W and 16 PoE+ capable ports. The number of devices it can power simultaneously depends on the individual power draw of each connected device. For example, it could fully power 9 devices each drawing the maximum 25.5W, or a larger number of lower-power devices like standard IP phones, as long as the total power consumption does not exceed the 250W budget.
What are the SFP slots used for on this switch?
The two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots are dedicated uplink ports used to connect the switch to other network equipment using fiber optic or copper cabling. They allow for longer distance connections (via fiber), higher bandwidth aggregation, or linking to a network backbone. These slots are not shared with the RJ-45 ports, providing independent uplink capacity.
What does 'Layer 4 supported' mean for this managed switch?
Layer 4 support refers to the switch's ability to inspect and make forwarding decisions based on information in the Transport Layer (Layer 4) of the network model, such as TCP/UDP port numbers. This enables advanced features like traffic classifiers and bandwidth limiters based on specific applications or services, allowing for more granular quality of service (QoS) and security policies compared to basic Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches.
Is this switch fanless, and why is that important?
Yes, this switch features a fanless design. This is important for deployment in noise-sensitive environments like open offices, classrooms, or retail spaces, as it operates silently. A fanless design also improves reliability by eliminating a common mechanical point of failure, reduces dust intake, and can contribute to lower long-term maintenance needs.
What rack mounting hardware is included?
The package includes a Latin America 19" rack mount bracket, which allows the switch to be securely installed in a standard 19-inch wide equipment rack. This facilitates organized cable management and professional installation in server rooms, wiring closets, or network cabinets.
What is the warranty period for this Lantronix switch?
This Lantronix SMTATSA Ethernet Switch is backed by a 5-year limited warranty. This extended warranty period provides assurance of the product's durability and manufacturer support, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for five years from the date of purchase.
What uplink, SFP, fiber, or media support detail is listed?
The warranty or support detail listed is Twisted Pair,Optical Fiber, 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.
