Product Features

8 × Gigabit PoE+ Ports

Delivers both data and power (up to 30 W per port) to connected devices over a single cable, simplifying infrastructure and reducing power-outlet needs.

2 × Gigabit RJ-45/SFP Combo Uplink Ports

Provides two flexible uplink ports (each usable as either RJ-45 or SFP) for connecting to fiber or longer-distance network segments, enhancing backbone or aggregation flexibility.

Managed Switch with Advanced Security & Routing

Supports features such as VLANs, link aggregation (LACP), static routing, IPv6 first-hop security, DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection and more — ideal for business networks needing segmentation and resilience.

Fan-less, Quiet Design

With no internal fan (for the 8-port variant) it is suitable for office deployment where noise is a concern.

Compact Form Factor with Rack-mount Support

Measuring approximately 268 × 185 × 44 mm, this switch fits on desktop or can be mounted in a 19-inch rack with the appropriate brackets.
