Key Product Advantages
The FS310GP offers a balanced combination of PoE capacity, management features, and physical flexibility that makes it stand out in the smart switch category. Its 61W PoE budget supports multiple powered devices simultaneously, reducing the need for separate power adapters and simplifying cable management.
Layer 3 Switching Capability
Unlike basic Layer 2 switches, this model supports inter-VLAN routing and basic IP routing functions, allowing network administrators to create segmented networks without additional hardware.
- Reduces router dependency for internal traffic
- Enhances network security through VLAN isolation
- Improves performance for subnet communications
Dual Installation Options
The compact metal enclosure supports both desktop placement and wall mounting, with included mounting hardware for secure installation in various environments.
- Saves rack space in small network closets
- Ideal for retail counter or office desk deployment
- Secure wall mounting reduces desk clutter
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is particularly well-suited for small business networks where both data connectivity and device power need to be distributed efficiently. Its eight PoE+ ports can simultaneously support a mix of VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras, creating a unified infrastructure that reduces installation complexity.
The FS310GP also serves as an excellent edge switch in branch offices or retail locations, where its SFP uplinks provide reliable backhaul connectivity to central servers or cloud services. The fanless operation makes it appropriate for environments where audible noise must be minimized, such as conference rooms, libraries, or healthcare settings.
Small Office VoIP Deployment
Power and connect up to eight IP phones while maintaining Gigabit data throughput for computers and printers, with SFP uplinks ensuring quality voice transmission to the PBX.
Retail Network Expansion
Support point-of-sale systems, security cameras, and customer Wi-Fi access points from a single switch, with wall-mount capability keeping equipment secure and organized.
Physical Profile
The FS310GP features a compact, all-metal enclosure measuring 8.20 inches wide, 4.90 inches deep, and just 1 inch tall. This low-profile design allows it to fit easily on desks, shelves, or in shallow network cabinets. The metal construction provides durability and effective heat dissipation without requiring cooling fans, resulting in completely silent operation.
Multiple mounting options include desktop placement using the included rubber feet, wall mounting via the integrated keyhole slots, or standalone vertical orientation. The front panel clearly labels all ports and status indicators for easy monitoring during operation.

FAQ
How many devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The FS310GP has eight PoE+ ports with a total power budget of 61 watts. This allows it to power multiple compatible devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras at once, as long as their combined power draw does not exceed the 61W budget. Each port can deliver up to 30W under the IEEE 802.3at standard.
What are the SFP slots used for?
The two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots provide fiber optic or copper uplink connections to other network equipment. You can insert SFP transceivers to connect to fiber backbone networks for longer distance runs, or use them for high-speed copper connections to core switches or servers. These uplinks operate at Gigabit speeds (100/1000 Mbps).
What does Layer 3 switching capability provide?
Layer 3 switching allows the FS310GP to perform basic routing functions between different IP subnets or VLANs without requiring a separate router. This enables network segmentation for security, improves internal traffic performance by keeping local communications within the switch, and reduces the load on your main router for inter-VLAN communications.
Is this switch fanless, and why does that matter?
Yes, the FS310GP operates completely without cooling fans. The metal chassis dissipates heat effectively through passive cooling. This eliminates fan noise, making it suitable for quiet environments like offices, classrooms, or medical areas. It also increases reliability by removing moving parts that could fail over time.
What installation options are available?
This switch supports three installation methods: desktop placement using the included rubber feet, wall mounting via the integrated keyhole slots, or standalone vertical orientation. The compact dimensions (8.20" W × 4.90" D × 1" H) allow it to fit in tight spaces, and the metal construction ensures durability in all mounting scenarios.
What management features does this smart switch include?
As a managed switch, the FS310GP supports configuration through a web interface, CLI, or SNMP. It includes features like VLAN support, QoS prioritization, port mirroring, and link aggregation. The Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) feature allows for automatic configuration when connected to a compatible controller, simplifying deployment across multiple locations.
