• Vacuum design - absolutely silent
• Power consumption of only 14.4W

An ideal pro

The switch is armed with 16 gigabit ports that provide up to 2,000 Mbit/s throughput as they communicate in both directions and support Jumbo frames. The RJ-45 port in the interface adds a pair of SFP slots to connect optional mini GBIC modules to create a long distance optical network. Each port automatically detects the correct speed and full/half duplex mode, and Auto Uplink automatically adapts itself. The intuitive web interface greatly simplifies port configuration, transmission and performance checks. Settings can also be made using SNMP software.

Simplicity is appreciated

An outstanding feature of the model is enhanced QoS (Quality of Service) support. QoS queuing priority ensures ideal and efficient transmission, even with data flow congestion. If businesses use network telephones or video conferencing, they need immediate voice and video traffic at the expense of other applications. Gentle transmission ensures reliability and quality even in the event of increased network load. Enhanced features include 802.1p preference and speed limitation.
