The Layer 3 features enable inter-VLAN routing, making it effective for segmented networks with multiple departments or security zones.
In educational or healthcare environments, the switch's PoE capabilities power wireless access points and IP cameras, simplifying cabling and reducing installation costs. For retail or branch offices, the compact 1U form factor and dual power voltage support allow deployment in space-constrained racks with standard power outlets. The manageability features support remote configuration and monitoring, reducing on-site IT overhead for distributed organizations.
Campus Access Layer
Deploy as an access switch in campus networks, connecting end-user devices and providing PoE to VoIP phones and Wi-Fi APs. The 10G uplinks aggregate traffic to distribution switches without bottlenecks.
Small Data Center Top-of-Rack
Use as a top-of-rack switch in server racks, connecting rack servers via Gigabit Ethernet and providing 10G uplinks to spine switches or core routers for high-speed east-west traffic.
Physical Profile
The switch features a black, steel chassis with a 1U rack-mountable form factor, measuring 1.72 inches in height, 17.42 inches in width, and 11.20 inches in depth. This compact design fits standard 19-inch racks, with front-to-back airflow for efficient cooling in enclosed spaces.
