This switch provides eight dedicated 2.5GBASE-T ports, delivering 2.5 times the speed of standard Gigabit connections over existing Cat5e or better copper cabling.
Key Features :
Eight 2.5G Multi-Gigabit ports for high-speed backhaul.
Essential L2 management including VLANs and QoS control.
Fanless design ensures silent operation in office spaces.
Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) for power savings.
