Slim Specs

Power and Data in One Cable

This switch integrates power and data transmission. It supports the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards. Consequently, you can power compatible devices without needing separate electrical outlets near each unit. The total PoE budget is 123 W, with up to 30 W available per port.

Reliable Gigabit Performance

It features nine Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed data transfer. The 20 Gbit/s switching capacity ensures smooth traffic flow for your network. Because it supports Auto-Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X, it automatically detects cable types. This reduces setup time and eliminates the need for crossover cables.

Silent Operation and Durability

The unit is completely fanless. This guarantees silent operation, which is ideal for offices, retail environments, or quiet residential areas. It also prevents dust buildup inside the unit. The robust design handles operating temperatures from 0 to 40 °C, suitable for typical indoor UK conditions.

Simple Plug-and-Play Setup

As an unmanaged switch, it requires no configuration or software installation. You simply plug it in, and it works. It supports store-and-forward switching and features a 14.88 MB packet buffer to manage data traffic efficiently. LED indicators on the front provide immediate status updates for power and link activity.

Scalability Options

While this unit is not rack-mountable, it fits easily on a desk or shelf. If you need to connect to a fibre network, it includes one SFP port. This allows for uplinking to a core network or extending distance via fibre. For larger deployments, you can daisy-chain additional switches.
