- How many devices can it power over PoE?
- It has 48 PoE/PoE+ ports and a 1000W power budget. The exact number of devices depends on each one's draw; access points and phones typically leave plenty of headroom, while power-hungry pan-tilt-zoom cameras use more.
- Does it support 10-Gigabit connections?
- Yes, through two SFP+ uplink ports. The 48 copper ports are Gigabit, and four additional SFP ports handle 1G fiber links.
- Is it rack-mountable?
- Yes. It is a 1U switch about 17.3 inches wide and 15.3 inches deep, so it needs a standard 19-inch rack with enough depth.
- Is it managed or unmanaged?
- It is a managed switch, so you can configure VLANs, link aggregation, PoE scheduling and monitoring rather than running it as a plug-and-play unit.
- What is in the box?
- The switch itself, rack-mount hardware and a power cord. SFP and SFP+ transceivers and fiber cables are not included and must be matched to your links.
- Who is it for compared with 24-port PoE switches?
- It suits denser deployments: twice the copper ports and a much larger power budget than most 24-port PoE units. A smaller office with few powered devices would be over-served by it.
