How many PoE devices can the X1026P power simultaneously?

The X1026P supports 24 PoE ports with 369W total budget. All 24 ports can deliver 802.3af power (15.4W), while up to 12 ports support PoE+ (30W). Actual device count depends on individual power requirements. For example, 12 PoE+ devices at 30W each would consume 360W, leaving minimal headroom.

What is the difference between the X1026P and X1026 models?

The X1026P includes PoE/PoE+ capability with 369W budget and 450W maximum power consumption. The X1026 is a non-PoE model with 40W maximum power consumption and fanless operation. Choose X1026P for IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points; X1026 for basic switching without PoE requirements.

Can the X1026P be rack-mounted?

Yes, the X1026P is a 1U rack-mountable switch with half-rack width form factor. It features front-to-back airflow design (I/O panel to PSU) for proper cooling in standard 19-inch racks. Dimensions are approximately 43.7mm x 449.4mm x 486.4mm with 8.3lbs weight.

What management capabilities does the X1026P offer?

The X1026P features intelligent web-based management GUI for easy configuration without CLI expertise. It supports QoS, link aggregation, 4,096 port-based VLANs, and virtual cable diagnostics. Management ports include 1x Mini USB Console and 1x USB for local access and firmware updates.

How does the X1026P handle network expansion?

The two 1GbE SFP fiber uplink ports enable high-speed connections to core switches or redundant uplinks without consuming copper ports. This architecture supports future growth while maintaining the 24 copper ports for end devices. SFP ports support standard 1GbE transceivers for flexible fiber connectivity.

What is the MAC address table capacity?

The X1026P maintains a 16,000-entry MAC address table, supporting large networks with multiple connected devices and subnets. This capacity is sufficient for SMB deployments with hundreds of networked devices across multiple VLANs and network segments.

Does the X1026P support VLAN segmentation?

Yes, the X1026P supports up to 4,096 port-based VLANs with full 4,096 VLAN tag support. This enables network segmentation for security, traffic isolation, multi-tenant deployments, and compliance requirements in SMB environments.
