Key Specifications

High-Density PoE Deployment

With 32 PoE+ and 16 PoE++ ports, this switch powers multiple devices simultaneously without additional injectors. Each port delivers up to 15.4 W, supporting VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras across your network. The 720 W total PoE budget handles even the most demanding PoE deployments, eliminating the need for separate power supplies for connected devices.

Enterprise-Grade Layer 3 Management

Layer 3 switching provides advanced routing capabilities beyond basic Layer 2 switching. With 12,000 IPv4 routes and static routing support, this switch handles complex network topologies efficiently. Quality of Service (QoS) prioritisation ensures critical applications receive bandwidth priority, while features like IGMP snooping optimise multicast traffic for IPTV and streaming services.

Robust Network Security Features

Comprehensive security includes 1,000 VLAN support with voice VLAN capabilities for segregating voice traffic. DHCP guarding prevents rogue DHCP servers, while port mirroring enables network monitoring and troubleshooting. Loop protection and broadcast storm control safeguard your network from common configuration errors, ensuring stable operation in production environments.

Scalable Redundancy Options

Redundant power supply support provides backup power capability for critical deployments. The switch operates across 100-240 V AC input with hot-swappable power options. With 820 W maximum power consumption and active cooling, it maintains reliable performance under heavy load conditions. The 1U form factor fits standard 19-inch racks while providing enterprise-level features.
