Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch features 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports (10/100/1000Base-T) that deliver both data and up to 30W per port to connected devices. The four SFP (mini-GBIC) slots support 1000Base-X fiber optic connections for long-distance uplinks or backbone links, with media support for both optical fiber and twisted pair cabling.
Layer 3 switching enables advanced routing, VLAN segmentation, and quality of service (QoS) for optimized network traffic management. The switch operates with a single internal power supply using a standard C14 connector, consuming 35.80W under typical loads while providing a substantial 300W total PoE budget for connected devices.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

Unified Communications Infrastructure
Support VoIP phones, wireless access points, and video conferencing equipment with reliable PoE+ power and managed switching capabilities.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 17.32" wide × 10.12" deep × 1.70" high (440 × 257 × 43.20 mm) and weighs 9.48 lb (4300 g). The 1U rack-mountable design includes two sets of brackets for flexible mounting in two-post racks, allowing installation with ports facing either front or rear. Rubber footpads enable stable tabletop operation when rack mounting isn't required.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 10.12" (257 mm), 17.32" (440 mm), 1.70" (43.20 mm), 9.48 lb (4300 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
How many PoE+ devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The switch provides 300W of total PoE budget distributed across all 24 ports. Each port supports the PoE+ standard with up to 30W per port. The actual number of devices that can be powered simultaneously depends on the power requirements of each connected device. For example, it could power approximately 10 devices drawing 30W each, or more devices with lower power requirements like VoIP phones or basic access points.
What types of SFP modules are compatible with this switch?
The four SFP (mini-GBIC) slots support standard Gigabit SFP modules for 1000Base-X connections. Compatible modules include both fiber optic SFP modules (such as 1000BASE-SX for multimode fiber or 1000BASE-LX for single-mode fiber) and copper SFP modules for twisted pair connections. The switch includes rubber caps to protect unused SFP sockets from dust and debris.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for 1U rack mounting in standard 19-inch racks. The package includes two sets of brackets: regular short brackets for standard mounting and longer brackets that recess the switch by 2 inches to provide additional cable management space. These brackets allow installation with ports facing either the front or rear of the rack, providing flexibility for different rack configurations.
What management interfaces does this switch support?
This managed switch supports multiple management interfaces including serial console connectivity via the included DB9 cable and USB management through the included USB Type-C to USB-A 2.0 console cable. As a Layer 3 managed switch, it provides web-based management, CLI access, and supports advanced features like VLANs, QoS, and routing protocols for comprehensive network control and monitoring.
What is the difference between Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching on this device?
This switch supports Layer 3 switching, which goes beyond basic Layer 2 switching by adding routing capabilities. Layer 3 switching enables inter-VLAN routing, allowing different network segments to communicate while maintaining separation. It supports IP routing, access control lists (ACLs), and quality of service (QoS) based on IP addresses and protocols, making it suitable for more complex network architectures than basic Layer 2 switches.
What is included for console connectivity and management?
The switch includes both a serial console cable (DB9 connector) and a USB Type-C to USB-A 2.0 console cable for out-of-band management. This dual-cable approach ensures compatibility with older equipment that uses serial ports as well as modern systems with USB connectivity. The console access provides direct management interface for initial configuration, troubleshooting, and advanced setup without requiring network connectivity.
