User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can I connect directly to this switch?
The TP-Link FS352G provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, allowing direct connections to up to 48 devices such as computers, printers, IP phones, or wireless access points. Additionally, the four SFP slots can be used for uplinks to other switches or routers, expanding network capacity without using downlink ports.
What types of uplink connections does this switch support?
This switch supports uplink connections through its four dedicated Gigabit Ethernet ports and four SFP (mini-GBIC) slots. The SFP slots accept standard transceivers for fiber optic or copper uplinks, enabling long-distance connections up to 100 meters with twisted-pair cabling or longer distances with fiber, suitable for backbone links in larger networks.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it offer?
Yes, the FS352G is a managed Layer 2 switch. It supports smart management features including VLANs for network segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, and IEEE 802.1ab standards for enhanced network control. It also includes Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) to simplify initial setup and configuration in multi-switch deployments.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard server rack?
