What are the power requirements?

Power consumption is 10.4 VA or 11 W using an external supply. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for office environments. This low draw supports efficient power management in multi-switch setups.

What are the dimensions and weight?

Measures 228 mm wide, 60.6 mm high, 185.4 mm deep, weighing 1,000 g (2.2 lb). The compact footprint allows wall-mounting or desk placement, conserving space in small offices while maintaining easy access for cabling.

What is the operating temperature range?

Supports 0° to 40°C (32° to 105°F), suitable for standard indoor office conditions. Combined with 0-95% non-condensing humidity tolerance, it ensures reliable performance without additional cooling in typical SMB installations.

What compliance standards does it meet?

EMC: EN 55022 Class B, EN 55024, FCC Part 15 Class B; Safety: EN 60950-1, UL 60950-1, CSA 22.2 No. 60950-1; Functional: ISO 8802/3, IEEE 802.3, 802.3u. Certified for home/office use, minimizing interference and ensuring safety.

Is configuration required for setup?

No, as an unmanaged switch, it operates plug-and-play with auto-negotiation for speeds, duplex, and MDI/X. Connect devices via standard RJ-45 cables for immediate 10/100 Mbps connectivity, perfect for non-technical SMB teams.
