Product Features
Technical Overview
The GS1900-10HP delivers full Gigabit Ethernet performance across all eight ports with support for 10/100/1000Base-TX and 1000Base-X network technologies. The switch supports both twisted pair and optical fiber media types, with two dedicated SFP (mini-GBIC) slots that provide uplink flexibility without sharing bandwidth with the copper ports. These expansion slots support fiber optic connections for longer distance runs or high-speed copper connections for backbone integration.
This Layer 2 managed switch includes comprehensive networking features for modern business environments. The switch supports IPv6 for future-proof networking, DoS prevention for enhanced security, and link aggregation (LAG) for bandwidth optimization. The smart power management includes Consumption Mode that allocates PoE power efficiently across connected devices, maximizing the available 77W budget to power more PoE devices simultaneously.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The GS1900-10HP has a total PoE budget of 77W across all eight ports. With smart power allocation, it can power multiple PoE devices simultaneously, with each port supporting up to 30W for 802.3at PoE+ devices. The exact number of devices depends on their individual power requirements, but typical deployments include 4-8 IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras.
What are the SFP slots used for on this switch?
The two SFP (mini-GBIC) expansion slots provide uplink connectivity options for connecting to other switches or network infrastructure. These slots support SFP modules for fiber optic connections (for longer distances or electrical isolation) or copper SFP modules for Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. The slots are dedicated and do not share bandwidth with the eight copper PoE+ ports.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it support?
Yes, the GS1900-10HP is a smart managed Layer 2 switch with web-based management. It supports VLAN for network segmentation, QoS for traffic prioritization, IGMP snooping for multicast optimization, link aggregation (LAG) for bandwidth combining, IPv6 for future-proof networking, and DoS prevention for security. The web interface includes a setup wizard for easy configuration.
What mounting options are available for this switch?
The switch supports multiple mounting configurations including desktop placement, under-table installation, and wall mounting. The compact dimensions of 10" x 4" x 1" (254 x 101.6 x 25.4 mm) and lightweight design at 1.59 lb (720 g) make it suitable for space-constrained locations. A wall mounting kit is included in the package for flexible installation options.
What PoE standards does this switch support?
The switch supports both IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) standards. This means it can power devices requiring up to 15.4W per port (802.3af) as well as higher-power devices requiring up to 30W per port (802.3at). The smart power management allocates the 77W total budget efficiently across connected devices based on their actual power requirements.
