Product Features

24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

Provides 24 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports for wired network connectivity, supporting desktops, servers, wireless access points, IP phones, and other network devices with stable Gigabit throughput.

2 × 10G SFP+ Fiber Uplinks

Includes two 10 Gbps SFP+ fiber uplink ports that enable high‑capacity backbone connections to switches, core routers, servers, or network aggregation layers, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall network performance.

Dual Management Modes

Supports both SwOS (SwitchOS) for simplified switch‑centric management and RouterOS for advanced networking features such as VLAN routing, firewall rules, dynamic routing, QoS, and bandwidth shaping. Administrators can choose the mode that best suits their network needs.

VLAN and Network Segmentation

Enables VLAN configuration for logical network separation, secure traffic zones, and efficient bandwidth allocation. This supports segmentation of guest networks, management networks, and departmental zones for improved performance and security.

Link Aggregation and Redundancy

Supports LACP link aggregation for increased throughput and redundancy, along with spanning tree protocols (STP/RSTP) to prevent loops and maintain resilient network topologies.

QoS and Traffic Prioritization

Quality of Service controls allow prioritization of critical traffic such as voice, video, or business‑critical applications, ensuring optimal performance in busy network environments.

Rack‑Mountable Enterprise Design

Housed in a durable 1U metal chassis with rack ears for structured installation in server racks, network closets, or telecom cabinets, delivering consistent performance for professional network infrastructure.

Flexible Monitoring and Control

Managed via web interface, SwOS/RouterOS dashboards, or command‑line tools, providing detailed port statistics, configuration options, and real‑time network visibility.
