Product Features

48 Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet Ports

Equipped with 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 PoE+ ports compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at standards. Supports simultaneous data transfer and power delivery to multiple PoE devices, reducing infrastructure complexity and eliminating the need for separate power sources.

4 x 1G SFP Uplink Ports

Provides four dedicated 1 Gigabit SFP slots for fiber uplinks to core switches, aggregation layers, or backbone infrastructure. Enables long-distance connectivity and flexible network expansion across multi-floor offices or campus environments.

Advanced Layer 2 and Lite Layer 3 Features

Supports VLAN segmentation, static routing, Link Aggregation (LACP), Spanning Tree Protocols (STP, RSTP, MSTP), and IGMP snooping to optimize traffic flow and ensure high network efficiency.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Offers comprehensive security including Access Control Lists (ACLs), 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, and port security to protect against unauthorized access and internal network threats.

Quality of Service (QoS)

Advanced QoS prioritizes voice, video, and other critical applications to maintain reliable performance for VoIP, video conferencing, and cloud-based services.

High PoE Power Budget

Delivers a total of 370W PoE power, supporting a dense deployment of powered devices across enterprise floors, wireless access networks, and surveillance systems.

Flexible Management Options

Supports web-based graphical user interface (GUI), command-line interface (CLI), and SNMP for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting by network administrators.

Durable Rack-Mountable Design

Constructed with a robust metal chassis suitable for 19-inch rack installation, providing long-term reliability in server rooms, network closets, and professional environments.
