User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE+ devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The Intellinet 561983 switch has a total PoE budget of 250W distributed across its 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The actual number of devices it can power depends on the power requirements of each connected device. For example, it could power approximately 16 devices drawing 15.4W each (802.3af standard) or fewer devices requiring higher power under the 802.3at PoE+ standard. The switch intelligently manages power allocation to ensure connected devices receive appropriate power without exceeding the total budget.
What types of SFP modules are compatible with this switch?
This switch features two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports that support standard Gigabit SFP modules. Compatible modules include 1000BASE-SX for multimode fiber connections up to 550 meters, 1000BASE-LX for single-mode fiber connections up to 10 kilometers, and 1000BASE-T for copper connections up to 100 meters. The switch automatically detects and configures compatible SFP modules, providing flexibility for various network media and distance requirements without requiring manual configuration.
Is this switch manageable through a web interface or CLI?
No, the Intellinet 561983 is an unmanaged switch that operates without configuration interfaces. It functions as a plug-and-play device that automatically handles network traffic forwarding, VLAN tagging (if present), and power negotiation with connected PoE devices. This design eliminates the need for setup, management software, or ongoing configuration, making it ideal for environments where simplicity and reliability are more important than advanced management features.
What is the maximum distance supported for network connections?
For copper connections using twisted pair cables, the switch supports the standard 100-meter distance for Gigabit Ethernet over Category 5e or better cabling. For fiber connections using SFP modules, the distance depends on the specific module installed: multimode fiber typically supports up to 550 meters, while single-mode fiber can extend to 10 kilometers or more. The two SFP ports enable network extension beyond copper limitations, making this switch suitable for connecting buildings or covering larger physical areas.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard server rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for rack mounting in standard 19-inch server racks or network cabinets. With a height of 1.73 inches (44 mm), it occupies exactly 1U of rack space. The metal chassis includes mounting ears compatible with standard rack screws, and the front-to-back airflow design ensures proper cooling in enclosed rack environments. The compact depth of 8.15 inches allows installation in shallow racks while providing access to all ports on the front panel.
What networking standards does this switch support?
This switch complies with multiple IEEE networking standards including 802.3 for Ethernet, 802.3ab for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet over copper, 802.3az for Energy Efficient Ethernet, 802.3af and 802.3at for Power over Ethernet, 802.3u for Fast Ethernet, and 802.3x for flow control. These standards ensure interoperability with a wide range of network equipment and provide reliable performance across various network conditions while maintaining backward compatibility with older 10/100 Mbps devices.
