Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is tailored for small to medium businesses needing a reliable, scalable network backbone. It supports surveillance deployments by powering up to 24 IP cameras with its PoE+ ports, while the SFP uplinks connect to a core switch or router over fiber for high-bandwidth backhaul. In office environments, it can power VoIP phones and wireless access points, simplifying cabling and reducing clutter.
Educational institutions and retail stores benefit from its VLAN capabilities, separating guest traffic from administrative networks. The rack-mountable design integrates seamlessly into server rooms, and the desktop form factor allows for temporary or remote installations. Its low power draw and RoHS compliance also make it a suitable choice for organizations focused on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Surveillance Systems
Power and connect multiple IP cameras with PoE+, using SFP uplinks for reliable video feed transmission to a central NVR.
Office Networking
Deploy VoIP phones, wireless access points, and workstations with a single switch, reducing infrastructure complexity and maintenance.
Physical Profile
The switch features a sturdy metal chassis measuring 17.30" in width, 8.70" in depth, and 1.73" in height, designed for 1U rack mounting with included rackmount kit. Its compact footprint suits standard 19-inch racks, while rubber feet allow stable desktop placement. The all-metal construction dissipates heat effectively, ensuring reliable operation in continuous-use scenarios.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (43.94 mm), 17.30" (439.42 mm), 8.70" (220.98 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
