FAQ
How many devices can this switch power using PoE?
The switch has 16 ports that provide Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), compliant with IEEE 802.3at/af standards. With a total PoE budget of 250 watts, it can power a combination of devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras. The exact number depends on the individual power draw of each connected device, but the 250W budget offers substantial capacity for typical business deployments.
What are the SFP slots used for on this switch?
The two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots are expansion ports used for uplink connections. You can insert SFP modules to connect the switch to other network equipment using fiber optic cables for long-distance runs or shielded copper cables for shorter high-speed links. This provides flexibility for connecting to a core switch, router, or another network segment, enhancing the switch's backbone connectivity options.
Is this a managed or unmanaged switch?
This is a fully managed Layer 2 switch. It offers advanced management features including VLAN configuration for network segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, and support for protocols like IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1p. It can be managed remotely and is compatible with the TP-Link Omada Software-Defined Networking (SDN) platform for centralized cloud-based control across multiple devices.
What does 'Layer 2 support' mean for this switch?
Layer 2 support refers to the data link layer of the network, which handles switching and frame forwarding based on MAC addresses. This switch operates at Layer 2, providing features like VLANs to isolate network traffic, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for loop prevention, and link aggregation. These capabilities offer greater control over network traffic, improved security through segmentation, and more efficient bandwidth usage compared to basic unmanaged switches.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard server rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for standard 19-inch wide server racks. It has a 1U form factor, meaning it occupies one rack unit of vertical space (approximately 1.75 inches). The dimensions are 1.73" H x 17.32" W x 7.09" D, and it includes the necessary mounting hardware for secure installation. Its all-metal construction ensures durability in rack environments.
What is the power consumption of this switch?
The switch has a typical power consumption of 289.70 watts. This figure accounts for the switch's own operational power plus the power delivered to connected PoE devices up to its 250-watt PoE budget. It uses a built-in power supply and accepts input voltages of 120V AC or 230V AC, making it suitable for use in different regional electrical systems.
