ABOUT THE
TIGERSTACK III 10/100
Overview
SMC’s TigerStack III 10/100 SMC6826MPE is a 24-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch with 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports and two combination ports — 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that operate in combination with Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots*. An optional SFP stacking transceiver is available for connecting up to eight units to a 2 Gbps stack backplane.
All the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on this switch support IEEE 802.3af standard (802.3af) Power-over-Ethernet capabilities. Each port can detect connected 802.3af-compliant network devices, such as IP phones or wireless access points, and automatically supply the required DC power.
As well as its Power-over-Ethernet capabilities, the switch provides comprehensive network management features, such as Spanning Tree Protocol, multicast switching, virtual LANs, and Layer 2/3/4 CoS services that provide reliability and consistent performance for your network traffic.
*If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port is disabled
