Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is ideal for environments requiring both high-density connectivity and substantial PoE power distribution. Its 48-port configuration with 600W budget makes it suitable for office networks supporting numerous wireless access points and IP phones, educational campuses with extensive surveillance systems, and retail locations with multiple PoE-powered digital signage displays.
The Layer 3 capabilities allow it to serve as a distribution switch in multi-VLAN architectures, handling inter-VLAN routing while providing PoE to edge devices. The 10G uplinks ensure sufficient bandwidth back to core switches or servers, preventing bottlenecks in data-intensive applications. The 1U rack-mount design makes it particularly valuable in space-constrained data centers or network closets where rack real estate is at a premium.
Physical Profile
Constructed from galvanized cold rolled steel (SGCC), the switch offers durable protection in rack environments. Its dimensions of 1.72" height, 17.42" width, and 15.73" depth conform to standard 1U rack specifications, with a weight of approximately 13.78 pounds. The integrated fans provide near-silent cooling suitable for office environments, while the front-to-back airflow design optimizes thermal management in enclosed racks.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.72" (43.70 mm), 17.42" (442.40 mm), 15.73" (399.60 mm), 13.78 lb (6250 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
