IP Network Switches

A strong business network needs a solid foundation. The Gigabit Switch provides that essential core. It supplies up to 15.4W of power for each of 12 connected devices, or 7.5W to each of the switch's 24 ports. This reduces the cabling needed to power external networked devices.

You can connect up to 24 networked devices to the switch, which itself supports gigabit networking for exceptional performance. The unit also prioritizes dataflow with a variety of traffic-shaping mechanisms, helping to ensure the clarity of heavy-traffic communications like video teleconferencing. The switch's robust management functions are easy to access through a number of clients, and its internal monitoring software keeps tabs on your network's every operation.

Additional features of the 24-port Gigabit Switch include:

• Nonblocking switching capacity of up to 48 Gbps
• Up to 256 active port- and 802.1q-based VLANs (4096 range)
• Secure access limitations using 802.1x port authentication and MAC filtering
• Standards-based IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) - 180W of total PoE power

Help your business achieve its fullest potential by putting a strong internal network in place. One of the Managed Switches, the 8-Port Gigabit Switch is the heart of your digital environment. You can connect up to eight separate devices to the switch's gigabit ports. But there's more to it than speed: It also helps maximize your Power over Ethernet capabilities by supplying each of eight attached devices with 15.4W of power.

Security is a priority, as the unit authenticates with every attached device before sending out information and allows access to be set on multiple levels. The unit also prioritizes the data passing along your network with a variety of traffic-shaping mechanisms to help ensure high performance and clarity for bandwidth-intensive communications like video teleconferencing.

Additional features of the 8-Port Gigabit Switch include:

• Non-blocking switching capacity of up to 16 Gbps
• Up to 256 active port- and 802.1Q-based VLANs (4096 range)
• A built-in Web interface for easy, browser-based customization
• Full management through the WebView browser interface or console port
