Product Features

8 Gigabit Ethernet Ports with PoE Support

Equipped with 8 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports with PoE+ support (IEEE 802.3at), delivering both high‑speed data and up to 30 W of power per port to PoE‑enabled devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, and IP cameras without separate power adapters.

Smart Layer 2 Features

Supports essential Layer 2 functions such as VLAN segmentation, Link Aggregation (LACP), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP) to optimize network traffic, improve stability, and enable secure network segmentation.

Web‑Based Management Interface

Provides an intuitive web GUI for easy setup, monitoring, and configuration of network settings including PoE management, VLAN setup, port control, and QoS settings, making deployment and maintenance straightforward for IT administrators.

Quality of Service (QoS) Prioritization

Includes advanced QoS to prioritize traffic for voice and video applications, helping ensure consistent performance for VoIP calls, video conferencing, and other latency‑sensitive services.

Energy‑Efficient and Fan‑Less Design

Compliance with IEEE 802.3az Energy‑Efficient Ethernet standards reduces power consumption during periods of low traffic. The fan‑less design ensures quiet operation, ideal for offices and indoor environments.

PoE Power Management

Supports efficient PoE allocation with per‑port PoE control and power scheduling to conserve energy and ensure connected devices receive the required power without exceeding budget limits.

Secure Network Controls

Includes basic security features such as port security to restrict access and protect against unauthorized devices from joining the network.
