What is the switching capacity and MAC table size?

Switching capacity is 48 Gbps with an 8000-entry MAC address table and full-duplex support. This ensures wire-speed performance for high-traffic networks, handling large numbers of devices without performance degradation.

Is it rack-mountable and stackable?

Yes, it's a 1U rack-mountable switch with included rack kit, weighing 8.6 lbs. Stackable design allows easy expansion, fitting standard 19-inch racks for scalable enterprise deployments.

What power supply does it use?

It has a fixed internal power supply, providing reliable operation without external adapters. Complies with Dell's product safety, EMC, and environmental standards for enterprise use.

Is it unmanaged or managed?

Classified as an unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch per specs, but can be configured for managed mode via web GUI. Supports features like VLAN, QoS, and DHCP for flexible operation in SMB environments.

What are the key compliance standards?

Meets product safety, EMC, and environmental compliance per Dell regulatory datasheet. Designed for secure, energy-efficient Gigabit switching in fixed-port enterprise setups.
