Product Features
Technical Overview
The TPE-3524SF operates as a Layer 2 managed switch, supporting advanced networking standards including IEEE 802.1Q for VLAN segmentation, IEEE 802.3ad for link aggregation (LACP), and IEEE 802.1x for port-based network access control. It is compliant with a broad range of IEEE standards for Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-X), ensuring interoperability in mixed-media environments using both twisted pair and optical fiber connections via the SFP+ slots.
The switch's power system accepts 120-230V AC input and delivers a total PoE budget of 740 watts, dynamically allocated across the 48 PoE+ ports. With a typical power draw of 52 watts, it maintains energy efficiency under normal operating conditions. The internal architecture supports non-blocking switching capacity, providing full wire-speed performance across all ports to prevent bottlenecks in high-traffic scenarios.
