User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The switch has a 120W PoE budget distributed across its 16 PoE+ ports. This allows it to power multiple PoE devices simultaneously, such as IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras, with intelligent power allocation based on each device's requirements and IEEE 802.3af/at standards.
What are the uplink options on this Cisco switch?
This switch includes two SFP (mini-GBIC) expansion slots for uplinks. These slots support either fiber or copper SFP modules, providing flexibility for connecting to other switches over longer distances via fiber or maintaining Gigabit copper connections. The uplinks are modular, allowing you to choose the appropriate media type for your network.
Does this switch support Layer 3 routing?
Yes, this is a Layer 3 managed switch, meaning it can perform routing functions between VLANs. This capability enables more advanced network designs, such as inter-VLAN routing without a separate router, and supports routing protocols for scalable network topologies in business environments.
Is this switch fanless, and why does that matter?
Yes, this switch features a fanless design. This eliminates moving parts that can fail and reduces noise, making it suitable for deployment in office areas, classrooms, or retail spaces where quiet operation is important.
