Product Features
Technical Overview
The ER-10X features ten Gigabit Ethernet ports that support 10/100/1000Base-T network technology, ensuring compatibility with modern network equipment. Ports 0-9 can be configured for line-rate Layer 2 switching, enabling efficient local traffic handling without compromising routing performance. The router achieves throughput of 1 Gbps for packets 1518 bytes or larger and processes 260,000 packets per second for 64-byte packets, balancing speed with handling of smaller network packets.
Power over Ethernet capabilities include 24V PoE input on port 0 and a 24V PoE passthrough option on port 9, allowing the router to receive power via Ethernet or pass it to another device. This eliminates the need for separate power injectors in certain setups. The device does not support redundant power supplies but operates reliably on standard power inputs.
