1-1. Overview of 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch

24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch is a standalone switch that meets IEEE 802.3/u/x/z standards. The switch is equipped with included 20 x 10/100/1000Mbps TP port and 4 x Gigabit TP/SFP Fiber auto-sense port Web Smart management Ethernet Switch. The switch is designed to incorporate a Web-based management unit that allows the network administrator to access the switch to monitor, configure and control the activity of each port. In addition, the switch implements the QoS (Quality of Service), VLAN, and Trunking features. It is suitable and optimized for office applications.

Port 21, 22, 23 and 24 are designed to support two types of connectors ---

TP and SFP Fiber (LC, BiDi-SC…). Each of these ports supports 10/100/1000Mbps TP or 1000Mbps SFP Fiber with auto-sense function. The 1000Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver is used for high-speed connected expansion.

1000Mbps LC, Multi-Mode, SFP Fiber transceiver

1000Mbps LC, 10km, SFP Fiber transceiver

1000Mbps LC, 30km, SFP Fiber transceiver

1000Mbps LC, 50km, SFP Fiber transceiver

1000Mbps BiDi-SC, 20km, 1550nm SFP Fiber WDM transceiver

1000Mbps BiDi-SC, 20km, 1310nm SFP Fiber WDM transceiver

The 10/100/1000Mbps TP is a standard Ethernet port that meets IEEE 802.3/u/x/z standards. The 1000Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver is a Gigabit Ethernet port that fully complies with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000Base-SX/LX standards.

1000Mbps Single Fiber WDM (BiDi) transceiver is designed with an optic Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology that transports bi-directional full duplex signal over a single fiber simultaneously.
