Power Redundancy for Uninterrupted Operation

The VigorSwitch G2282x offers dual power options with both AC and DC inputs, providing seamless operation and minimised downtime. This flexibility ensures continuous network availability even if one power source fails. For businesses where network uptime is critical, this redundancy is a key advantage over standard switches that rely on a single power supply.

High-Speed Uplinks for Growing Networks

With four dedicated 10GbE SFP+ ports, the switch enables ultra-fast connections to servers, network-attached storage, or other switches at up to 10Gbps per port. This high-speed backbone is essential for handling bandwidth-intensive applications and ensuring smooth data flow across your network infrastructure without bottlenecks.

Advanced Management for Business Control

As a fully managed Layer 2+ switch, the VigorSwitch G2282x includes VLAN support, Quality of Service (QoS) prioritisation, IGMP snooping, and Access Control Lists (ACLs). These features allow network administrators to segment traffic, prioritise critical applications, and enhance security. The web-based management interface and system event logging make monitoring and configuration straightforward.
