8100S Series Fiber Switches

LAYER 2–4 FAST ETHERNET STACKABLE SWITCHES

The 8100S Series fiber switches offers 100FX multimode fiber ports managed switches with high performance Layer 2-4 switching designed for the edge of network.

The 8100S Series consists of 16 100FX (SC and LC) MMF ports and 24 100FX (LC) MMF ports switch models. The

16-port models come with 16 100FX plus 8 10/100TX ports. All 8100S Series switches offer two Gigabit combo 10/100/1000T-SFP uplink ports plus two dedicated stacking connectors that deliver a total of 10Gbps stack bandwidth. The stackable Ethernet series offers fiber connectivity suitable for a network that requires high security and long distance connectivity.

Redundant Power Options

All variants of the 8100S fiber switch family feature two internal power supplies as standard, allowing the switches to be powered from two separate building feeds making the 8100S Series less susceptible to building power failures and ensuring continuous switch operation.

Stacking

The physical stacking capability integrated into this platform is designed to offer simplified management for higher port density applications. Up to three stackable switches of the 8100S copper and fiber series can be mixed and stacked together to a maximum of 78 ports.

Ease of Management

Designed for rapid deployment with the minimum of configuration time, the 8100S Series offers features such as Voice VLAN, LLDP-MED, Enhanced Stacking and Web management GUI that facilitates simple and effective approach to network management. Voice VLAN segregates VoIP traffic from regular Ethernet traffic and applies to it a higher QoS. It takes the complexity out of VoIP deployments, ensures high voice quality and protects time sensitive voice traffic from being flooded by other data. LLDP-MED lets the user auto-configure end stations to send preconditioned traffic that adheres to Voice VLAN configured network policies.

Enhanced Stacking with 8100S Series enables the user to make software upgrades for multiple switches with a single command, plus update all configurations in a single management session.

The industry standard CLI of AlliedWare Plus™ combined with the simple and intuitive Web management GUI reduces the training needs for those who require granularity of control, by providing a familiar interface for advanced users.

Key Features

Secure

»»The 8100S Series fiber switches are designed to offer 100FX multi-mode connectivity for a higher level of security not found in copper based Ethernet systems. This combined with advanced access security features protect the critical edge of the network.

Able to go the distance

»»Fiber connectivity is ideal for networks that demand high bandwidth over long distances. The 8100S Series fiber modules support Gigabit and 100Mbps up to a distance of 2 kilometers over multi-mode fiber, and up to 80 kilometers over single-mode fiber. Fiber is able to transport data over long distances without the type of degradation that you see with copper, allowing high scalable and flexible network design for big business campuses, educational campus and large retails stores.

Stable in harsh environment

»»Fibers complete immunity to electrical interference makes it resistant to cross talk between signals among different cables and environmental noise, such as radio waves and electric signals. This makes the 8100S Series ideal for high voltage environments and in places with high EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), such as alongside utility lines, conveyor belts, power lines, and railroad tracks.
