The Switch has 16 shielded RJ-45, 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating ports and four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots on the front panel for easy, flexible connection to fiber-based Gigabit media. Each 10/100/1000 Mbps port automatically determines the speed and duplex mode of the connected equipment and provides a suitable switched connection. The four SFP ports support fiber Gigabit Ethernet short-wave (SX) and long-wave (LX) SFP transceivers in any combination. This offers you the flexibility of using SFP transceivers to provide connectivity between the Switch and a 1000 Mbps core network.

The Switch is suitable for office use where it can be free-standing, or rack mounted (in a wiring closet or equipment room).
