Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules

Introduction

17-Port Modular Fast Ethernet Switch

High Port Count

The 17-Port Switch is a modular switch consisting of three expansion slots: two for 8- port 10/100BaseTX/FX module, and one for 1-port 10/100BaseTX or 100BaseFX module. This allows the switch to provide up to 17 ports when all the three slots are fit with modules.

Cost-Effective Migration

The 17-Port Switch is capable of integrating legacy 10Mbps networks with 100Mbps Fast Ethernet networks. In addition, the 17-Port Switch provides an easy and affordable solution for migrating from copper cabling to fiber connection when it is equipped with suitable modules to provide both TX and FX ports.

Flexibility through Modules

Seeing fiber connection become popular while the fiber cabling in small business environment is still not widespread, the 17-Port Switch is designed to deliver flexibility through a wide variety of TX and FX modules. Most of the modules combine TX and FX ports to provide more customization options.

<NOTE> Desired module shall be ordered separately.

Fiber-Connectivity

As a Fast Ethernet switch, the 17-Port Switch is specifically designed to meet the demanding need for fiber. The switch provides up to 17 ports for 100BaseFX, multi- mode or single-mode fiber. For multi-mode fiber port, it allows SC, ST, MT-RJ, VF-45 or LC connector. For single-mode fiber port, it allows SC or ST connector. The fiber ports allow maximum segment distance of 120 km when using single-mode fiber, and therefore, the 17-Port Fiber Switch is an optimum solution for long distance connection.

Basic Configuration Features

The 17-Port Switch supports port-based Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN) and MAC-based trunking technologies. Such advanced features bring network administrators a powerful yet easy-to-use tool to reduce unnecessary traffic, efficiently segment the network, and enhance network security.

Standards Compliant

The 17-Port Switch fully complies with IEEE802.3 10BaseT as well as IEEE802.3u 100BaseTX/FX standards.

Its plug-and-play functionality simplifies installation, requiring no complex configuration. The LB9215A also features a compact design, allowing it to fit seamlessly into any workspace.

The LB9218A extends functionality with eight ports and also supports 10/100/1000 Mbps transmission speeds. This switch is equipped with advanced VLAN capabilities, enabling users to segment traffic efficiently for improved network performance and security. The LB9218A is particularly useful in environments where data privacy and security are paramount.

For those needing a more powerful solution, the LB9219A offers a robust feature set with 16 ports, and it also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). This technology allows network cables to deliver electrical power alongside data, simplifying installations for devices like IP cameras and wireless access points. The LB9219A's user-friendly web interface permits easy management of configurations and monitoring of traffic, making it a favorite among IT administrators.

Meanwhile, the LB9216A, housing 12 ports, is another high-performance option. This model is tailored for larger networks that require a balance between performance and capacity. Similar to the LB9218A, it supports VLAN tagging and QoS (Quality of Service), ensuring bandwidth is allocated effectively across various applications within the network.

All these Black Box Ethernet switches are engineered for longevity and come with features such as fanless designs for silent operation, as well as rugged cases that resist dust and heat. They are compatible with standard Ethernet protocols, ensuring broad compatibility with existing network structures.

In summary, the Black Box LB9215A, LB9218A, LB9219A, and LB9216A Ethernet switches stand out for their combination of flexible configurations, advanced management features, and robust security protocols, making them excellent choices for any modern networking setup.
