What is the switching performance?

The switch delivers 20 Gbps switching capacity and 14.8 Mpps throughput with an 8000-entry MAC address table. Powered by Freescale PowerPC 8313 at 266 MHz, it ensures low-latency handling for Gigabit traffic in SMB networks.

How is the switch managed?

Management includes web browser, SNMP Manager, Telnet, RMON1, out-of-band RJ-45 Ethernet, and serial RS-232C. As a fully managed Layer 2 device, it supports VLANs, QoS, and security via intuitive interfaces for IT admins.

What PoE capabilities does it offer?

All 8x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports provide IEEE 802.3af PoE, supporting up to 15.4W per port for voice, video, or wireless devices. Energy-efficient design optimizes power for multiple connected endpoints without injectors.

What are the physical and environmental specs?

Rack-mountable compact form factor operates from 32°F to 131°F (0°C to 55°C). Memory includes 128MB DDR2 SDRAM and 32MB flash, with 384KB dynamic packet buffering for reliable performance in varied deployments.

Is it suitable for Gigabit networks?

Yes, all 8 PoE ports are 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing, paired with 2x SFP slots. 20 Gbps capacity and 8000 MAC entries handle full Gigabit loads for SMBs deploying high-speed PoE solutions.
