8-port, Gigabit switch delivers high-quality performance and reliability for business-class management, security and speed. Numerous QoS features ensure that traffic is prioritized properly to deliver the best possible user experience for real-time applications like voice and video along with bandwidth-intensive graphic/video file uploads and downloads. IGMP snooping limits IP multicast traffic to the ports that requested it, enabling the rest of the network to operate at peak efficiency. Smart switches help secure networks through port authentication and MAC-based port security, requiring clients to authenticate themselves before any data is passed. Advanced DHCP snooping and IP-MAC binding functions ensure network integrity and help prevent network attacks. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Storm Control features let you confidently build a mesh of switches and quickly expand your network to support your growing workforce.

Save installation time and money with this advanced Power Over Ethernet. 24-Port PoE Plus Web-Managed Desktop Gigabit Switch is designed to pass both data and electrical power to a number of PoE-compatible devices via standard Cat5e or Cat6 network cables. Equipped with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, all of which support 802.3at/af PoE/PoE Plus, this switch can power Wireless LAN access points and bridges, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephones, IP surveillance cameras and more while delivering network speeds of up to 1000 Mbps. It supports the IEEE 802.3at protocol and is designed to inject up to 30 watts of power per port with a 180-watt total budget. IEEE802.3af or IEEE802.3at compliant devices attached to the switch require no additional power, eliminating the time and expense of electrical rewiring and minimizing the unsightly clutter. Two form-factor, pluggable GBIC module slots (SFP) provide fiber connectivity for greater distances. Switch includes 19" rackmount brackets.
