Product Features
Technical Overview
The USW-24-POE operates as a Gigabit Ethernet switch with full support for 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-X network technologies, ensuring compatibility with both copper and fiber media. Its port configuration includes 16 auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ ports, which automatically detect and deliver power to connected PoE devices, simplifying deployment and reducing cable clutter. The remaining 8 ports are dedicated Gigabit Ethernet connections, while the two integrated Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports provide additional bandwidth for network aggregation.
Expansion capabilities are enhanced by two SFP (mini-GBIC) slots, allowing for fiber optic connectivity to extend network reach or connect to higher-tier switches. The switch supports Layer 2 switching, enabling VLANs, QoS, and other advanced networking features for optimized traffic management. Power is supplied via an external power supply, and the switch is designed with energy efficiency in mind, complying with environmental standards like the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE).
