Performance & Throughput

The switch delivers a switching capacity of 52 Gbps and a non-blocking throughput of 26 Gbps, ensuring all 24 Gigabit ports and 2 SFP uplinks can operate at line rate simultaneously without packet loss. A forwarding rate of 38.7 Mpps handles even the most demanding traffic patterns. Jumbo frame support and flow control further optimize data transmission across the network.

PoE+ Power Delivery

All 24 RJ45 ports support auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+, with a total power budget of 500W. This simplifies infrastructure by powering devices such as access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones directly over the Ethernet cabling. The internal 500W AC/DC power supply accepts 100–240V AC input, and a DC power backup input provides redundancy for critical deployments.

Advanced Layer 2 Features

Fully managed via Ethernet, the switch offers a comprehensive set of Layer 2 protocols for secure, efficient network operation:

• Spanning Tree: STP and RSTP for loop-free topologies
• IGMP Snooping: with advanced configuration including querier, fast leave, and router port
• 802.1X Control: port-based network access control
• Access Control Lists: IPv4 (128 entries) and MAC-based (128 entries) ACLs with device isolation
• DHCP Snooping & Guarding: to prevent rogue DHCP servers
• Storm Control: multicast and broadcast rate limiting
• Port Mirroring: for traffic analysis and troubleshooting
• LACP Port Aggregation: for increased bandwidth and redundancy
• LLDP-MED: for advanced device discovery and voice VLAN support
• Loop Protection: and port isolation for enhanced security

Deployment & Reliability

Housed in a robust SGCC steel enclosure, the switch measures 485 x 285.4 x 43.7 mm (19.1 x 11.2 x 1.7") and weighs 4.8 kg (10.6 lb). It supports rack mounting with a depth range of 400–1200 mm (15.7–47.2"). ESD protection of ±24kV (air/contact) and an operating temperature range of -5 to 40° C (23 to 104° F) ensure dependable performance in demanding environments. Certifications include CE, FCC, and IC, and the switch is NDAA compliant.
