Overview

The C2G124‐48P and C2H124‐48P are stackable switches that can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network requirements. These switches provide a management platform and an uplink to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight C2 switches.

The switches also support the use of a redundant DC power supply to help prevent downtime due to an internal power supply failure in the switch or AC power source.

You can install the switch on a flat surface or into a standard 19‐inch rack with user‐ supplied mounting hardware, and configure the switch functions using the WebView™ application, CLI switching commands, and/or SNMP.
