What is the switching capacity of this switch?

It provides 96 Gbps non-blocking switching architecture, supporting a forwarding rate of 1,448,000 pps for 64-byte packets. This ensures wire-speed performance across all 48 ports, with 16K MAC address table and 1.5MB packet buffer handling high traffic efficiently.

Is the GS348 suitable for rackmount installation?

Yes, the rackmount form factor (440 x 204 x 43 mm, 3.15 kg) includes a rackmount kit. Fanless design offers silent 0 dBA operation, with metal housing for durability and internal power supply (23W max) simplifying deployment in 19-inch racks.

Does it support energy-efficient features?

Compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, plus short cable detection and auto power-down. Maximum consumption is 23W, reducing costs in multi-switch environments while maintaining Gigabit performance and jumbo frame support up to 9,720 bytes.

What are the operating conditions?

Operates from 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F), suitable for office and data center use. Fanless cooling ensures reliability with MTBF over 1 million hours, and metal construction withstands standard environmental stresses in SMB networks.

Is configuration required for the GS348?

No, it's a plug-and-play unmanaged switch requiring no setup. Auto-sensing ports and non-blocking 96 Gbps capacity provide immediate Gigabit connectivity for up to 48 devices, ideal for quick SMB network expansions.
