What is the switching performance?

Switching capacity is 16 Gbps, throughput up to 11.8 Mpps, latency <3 μs at 100Mb and <2.6 μs at 1000Mb, with 1.5 Mb packet buffer and jumbo frames to 9,216 bytes. These deliver non-blocking Layer 2 performance for SMB traffic.

Is it fanless and what are the environmental specs?

Yes, fanless for silent operation. Operating temperature 0°C to 40°C, humidity 5-95% non-condensing; non-operating -40°C to 70°C. Ideal for office desks with compact 0.5 kg weight and 2.69 x 15.77 x 10.49 cm size.

What is the power consumption?

Maximum 4.5 W at 100-240 V AC rated voltage. Energy-efficient design supports IEEE 802.3az, auto power-down on idle ports, and short cable power saving, minimizing costs in deployments.
