Product Features
Technical Overview
The GS1900-48HPV2 operates as a full Gigabit Ethernet switch, supporting 10/100/1000Base-T over twisted pair and 100/1000Base-X over optical fiber via its SFP slots. Its 48 RJ-45 ports are split into 24 PoE+ ports compliant with IEEE 802.3at, delivering up to 30W per port, and 24 non-PoE Gigabit ports for standard devices. The two SFP expansion slots accept mini-GBIC transceivers, enabling uplinks to other switches or routers over fiber for extended reach and reduced interference.
Layer 2 switching features include IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging for network segmentation, 802.1p QoS for traffic prioritization, and 802.3ad Link Aggregation for increased bandwidth and redundancy. The switch also supports spanning tree protocols (802.1w RSTP, 802.1s MSTP) for loop prevention and 802.1x for port-based network access control. Management is accessible via a web-based GUI, CLI, or SNMP, providing tools for monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting.
Key Product Advantages
The GS1900-48HPV2 stands out with its balanced port configuration and substantial PoE budget, making it ideal for powering and connecting a diverse range of network devices.
