- How many devices can it power over Ethernet?
- All eight copper ports support PoE+, so up to eight powered devices such as access points, cameras or phones. The total power budget is shared, so check the draw of each device before filling every port.
- Do I need special cables for the 10 Gigabit ports?
- Yes. The two SFP+ ports take SFP+ transceivers or direct attach copper cables, which are separate purchases. Copper RJ45 devices connect to the eight Gigabit ports.
- Is it hard to set up?
- It is a managed Layer 3 switch, so expect to configure VLANs, routing and PoE settings through the web interface. It is not a plug-in-and-forget unmanaged switch.
- Can it be rack-mounted?
- Yes, the chassis is rack-mountable. It can also sit on a desktop for small installations.
- Does it support VLANs and routing between them?
- Yes. As a Layer 3 managed switch it handles VLANs, inter-VLAN routing and QoS, which is the main reason to pick it over a Layer 2 model.
