Product Features
Technical Overview
The AT-GS950/8-10 operates as a full-featured Layer 2 switch, supporting advanced networking protocols like IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and spanning tree for optimized traffic flow and redundancy. Its eight 10/100/1000Base-T ports auto-negotiate speed and duplex settings, while the two SFP slots allow fiber or copper uplink connections for extended reach or higher bandwidth aggregation.
Managed via a web-based interface, this switch provides VLAN support, QoS prioritization, and security features such as port-based access control. The twisted pair media support enables cost-effective cabling up to 100 meters, and the switch's low power draw and silent operation make it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.
