The switches provide 30 watts of power simultaneously to all RJ-45 user ports, making them ideal for transmitting power and data to IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, surveillance systems, or other PoE-powered devices.
Users can choose between SFP fiber uplink ports compatible with 1G/10G SFP and SFP+ transceivers, or RJ-45 uplink ports compatible with multi-gigabit data rates (100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps).
Dual uplink ports allow redundant fiber or copper links that provide protection and recovery for critical applications, as well as daisy-chaining to cascade multiple switches.
Advanced features include a PoE power reset function for power cycling, dual device mode to function as two logically separate switches that isolate networks, and directed switch mode, which prevents port saturation from multicast video traffic.
“With the explosion of high-power peripheral devices, such as Wi-Fi 7 access points and motorized security cameras with pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, standard power budgets are no longer sufficient. By delivering true, uncompromising 30 watts of PoE+ power across all 24 ports simultaneously, our new rackmount switch eliminates the hidden bottleneck of power rationing. “We’re giving network architects ultimate peace of mind: the freedom to connect any device to any port, anytime, without ever reaching the power limit,” said Sankar Ramachandran, vice president of Engineering and Product Management. He added, “The product features a unique, dynamic visual bar LED indicator that displays PoE power consumption directly on the front panel. This provides a real-time, at-a-glance view of the percentage of total PoE capacity being consumed, allowing IT administrators to instantly monitor system health and distribute device loads without any software configuration.”.
In addition to the 24-port PoE+ model, customers can choose models with 16 PoE+ ports and 8 Ethernet data ports, or 24 Ethernet data ports. All models are available with integrated AC or DC power input.
FlexSwitches are switches manufactured in the USA (Irvine, California) and comply with TAA, BAA, and NDAA standards. They are available in three temperature ranges: 0 to 50 °C (commercial), -40 to 60 °C (wide), and -40 to 75 °C (extended).
