User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The switch has 24 PoE+ ports and a 370W total PoE budget. The number of devices it can power depends on their individual power requirements. For example, it could power around 24 standard VoIP phones (each using ~7W) or a mix of higher-power devices like wireless access points (up to 30W each), with the total not exceeding 370W. The smart management interface allows per-port power monitoring to optimize usage.
What are the SFP+ uplink ports used for?
The four SFP+ uplink ports support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections, which are typically used for high-speed backbone links between switches, connections to servers, or uplinks to a core network. They accept SFP+ transceivers for fiber optic or direct-attach copper cables, enabling longer-distance connections and reducing bottlenecks in bandwidth-intensive applications.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it support?
Yes, this is a smart managed Layer 2 switch. It supports features such as VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q), QoS (IEEE 802.1p), port mirroring, IGMP snooping, and spanning tree protocol (IEEE 802.1D/w/s).
