Deployment / Use Cases
This switch excels in medium to large business environments where both connectivity density and power delivery are critical requirements. The combination of PoE++ support and high-speed ports makes it particularly suitable for modern office networks, educational institutions, and retail environments deploying power-hungry devices alongside bandwidth-intensive applications.
In enterprise edge deployments, the switch serves as an ideal aggregation point for access layer devices, with the SFP+ uplinks providing high-bandwidth connections to core switches. For surveillance installations, the PoE budget can power numerous high-resolution IP cameras while the 2.5GbE ports handle the increased video stream bandwidth. The compact 1U form factor allows for efficient use of rack space in network closets and data centers.
Office Network Core
Deploy as the central switching platform for modern offices, connecting workstations, wireless access points, IP phones, and conference room systems with both data and power over single cables.
Surveillance & Security
Power and connect high-resolution IP cameras across large facilities, with sufficient bandwidth for multiple 4K video streams and PoE budget for PTZ cameras with heaters and blowers.
Physical Profile
The switch features a professional rack-mountable design with dimensions optimized for standard 19-inch racks. The 1.73-inch (1U) height maximizes port density per rack unit, while the 17.42-inch depth accommodates proper cable management in enclosed racks. The galvanized cold-rolled steel construction provides structural integrity and effective electromagnetic shielding in dense rack environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (44 mm), 15.75" (400 mm), 17.42" (442.40 mm), 14.11 lb (6400 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the PoE budget of this switch and what devices can it power?
The switch provides a 600W PoE++ budget, which can power numerous high-demand devices simultaneously. This includes enterprise wireless access points, PTZ security cameras with heaters, VoIP phones with large color displays, and other PoE++ compliant equipment. The budget is distributed across all 24 RJ-45 ports, with the 2.5GbE and 10GbE ports all supporting PoE++ delivery.
How many SFP+ ports does this switch have and what are they used for?
This switch includes four SFP+ expansion slots that support 10GbE connections via fiber optic cables or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables. These ports are typically used for high-speed uplinks to core switches or servers, creating backbone connections between switches, or connecting to storage devices. The SFP+ slots provide flexibility to use either multimode or single-mode fiber transceivers based on distance requirements.
What does Layer 3 switching capability provide in this switch?
Layer 3 switching enables the device to perform IP routing between VLANs at wire speed, reducing the need for an external router for inter-VLAN traffic. This improves network performance by keeping traffic local to the switch when possible. The Layer 3 functionality also supports advanced features like static routing, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and quality of service (QoS) policies for traffic prioritization.
What are the physical dimensions and rack requirements for this switch?
The switch measures 1.73 inches high (44mm, standard 1U), 15.75 inches wide (400mm), and 17.42 inches deep (442.40mm), with a weight of approximately 14.11 pounds. It is designed for standard 19-inch racks and includes appropriate mounting hardware. The depth accommodates proper cable management in enclosed racks, while the galvanized steel construction ensures durability in rack environments.
What types of Ethernet speeds and media does this switch support?
The switch supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GBase-T), and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-X) across both twisted pair copper and optical fiber media. The 22 RJ-45 ports operate at 2.5GbE with PoE++, the 2 additional RJ-45 ports operate at 10GbE with PoE++, and the four SFP+ slots support 10GbE over fiber. This mixed-speed approach allows connection of legacy devices while providing higher speeds where needed.
What management features are available on this managed switch?
As a fully managed switch, it provides comprehensive control through a web interface or command line. Management features include VLAN configuration, port monitoring, traffic prioritization (QoS), link aggregation, spanning tree protocol, and SNMP monitoring. The switch also supports IEEE 802.1x for port-based network access control, allowing authentication of devices before granting network access for enhanced security.
