Technical Overview
This Layer 2 switch provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports with auto MDI/MDI-X support for automatic cable type detection, simplifying installation. All ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds over twisted pair cabling, with two dedicated SFP slots for Gigabit fiber uplinks using 1000Base-X technology. The switch is unmanaged, offering plug-and-play operation without configuration complexity.
The 130W total PoE budget complies with IEEE 802.3af/at standards, delivering up to 30W per port for PoE+ devices. The dual SFP slots accept standard SFP transceivers for fiber or copper uplinks, enabling long-distance connections to core switches or between buildings. The switch supports jumbo frames for improved throughput with large data packets.

Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is optimized for small office networks where PoE device density and reliable uplinks are priorities. Its compact size and silent operation make it suitable for wiring closets, retail back offices, or classroom installations where space and noise are considerations.
Typical deployments include powering VoIP phone systems with PoE phones and connecting to fiber backbones via SFP uplinks. The switch also serves well in surveillance setups, providing PoE+ to multiple IP cameras while using fiber uplinks for long-distance video transmission to network video recorders.
Small Office VoIP
Power up to eight PoE+ IP phones while using SFP uplinks to connect to the main network over fiber for clear voice quality and reduced cabling.
Branch Wireless
Deploy multiple wireless access points with PoE+, using SFP slots for high-speed uplinks to the central office network over fiber optic cables.
Physical Profile
The GS1100-10HP features a compact metal chassis measuring 1 inch high, 4 inches wide, and 10 inches deep, designed for 1U rack mounting with included brackets. Its slim profile conserves rack space in crowded cabinets, while the robust construction ensures durability in commercial environments. The front panel includes LED indicators for port status and PoE activity, providing at-a-glance monitoring.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1" (25.40 mm), 4" (101.60 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE+ devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The ZyXEL GS1100-10HP has eight PoE+ ports with a total budget of 130W, allowing it to power up to eight PoE+ devices concurrently, provided the combined power draw does not exceed 130W. Each port can deliver up to 30W, suitable for devices like wireless access points, IP phones, or security cameras that comply with IEEE 802.3af/at standards.
What types of SFP transceivers are compatible with this switch?
This switch supports standard SFP (mini-GBIC) transceivers that are compatible with 1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optic or copper cables. You can use SFP modules for multimode or single-mode fiber connections, or copper SFP transceivers for short-distance uplinks. The two SFP slots are dedicated and non-shared, allowing simultaneous use of different media types.
Is this switch manageable via a web interface or CLI?
No, the GS1100-10HP is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates as a plug-and-play device without configuration options like VLANs, QoS, or SNMP management. It is designed for simple deployments where automatic features like auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDX are sufficient, making it ideal for users who prefer minimal setup.
Can this switch be used in a rack-mounted setup?
Yes, the switch is designed for 1U rack mounting and includes the necessary brackets for installation in standard 19-inch network racks. Its compact dimensions of 1 inch height, 4 inches width, and 10 inches depth make it easy to fit into crowded rack environments, and the metal chassis ensures stability and heat dissipation in rack configurations.
What is the maximum distance supported by the SFP uplinks?
The maximum distance depends on the SFP transceiver and cable type used. With multimode fiber SFP modules, distances up to 550 meters are typical, while single-mode fiber can extend to 10 kilometers or more. Copper SFP transceivers support shorter distances, usually up to 100 meters. The switch itself supports 1000Base-X standards for Gigabit speeds over these media.
What connectivity or interface options are available?
Connectivity options include Gigabit Ethernet, helping the product integrate into common office or home setups.
