Product Features

High-Power PoE+ Support

Sixteen PoE+ Gigabit ports support IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, delivering up to 30 W per port with a total PoE power budget of 250 W for powering multiple devices simultaneously.

Flexible Connectivity Options

Includes 16 PoE+ Gigabit RJ45 ports, 2 non-PoE Gigabit RJ45 ports, and 2 combo Gigabit SFP slots for flexible fiber or copper uplink connections.

Intelligent PoE Power Management

Automatically allocates power based on device requirements and protects the switch from overload by cutting off lower-priority ports when total power usage exceeds the limit.

PoE Auto Recovery

Continuously monitors connected PoE devices and automatically reboots unresponsive devices to ensure uninterrupted operation and reduced maintenance.

Quality of Service for Critical Traffic

Built-in QoS prioritizes latency-sensitive applications such as video surveillance and voice traffic, ensuring smooth and reliable performance.

Advanced Layer 2 Network Features

Supports IGMP Snooping, VLANs, port mirroring, loop prevention, and link aggregation to improve traffic control, network efficiency, and security.

Easy Smart Management

Web-based management interface and Easy Smart Configuration Utility allow simple setup, monitoring, and control without the complexity of fully managed switches.

Rack-Mountable Business Design

Durable metal housing with rack-mount support and dual cooling fans ensures stable operation in business and enterprise environments.
