Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch delivers Gigabit Ethernet performance across all eight RJ45 ports, supporting 1000Base-T over twisted pair cabling up to 100 meters. The two independent SFP slots enable 1000Base-X fiber connections for longer-distance uplinks or backbone connections, with support for both multi-mode and single-mode SFP transceivers.
Layer 2 switching capabilities include VLAN support, QoS prioritization, and link aggregation for optimized traffic flow. The built-in power supply provides stable operation without external power bricks, though redundant power supply support is not included.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
