A switch is a functional network element that connects individual devices or other network elements. It is designed for coordinating network traffic. The Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 48, PoE 500W is made to be mounted in a rack. This model has a switching capacity of 140 Gb/s. The Switch has 48 × RJ-45 ports that facilitate connection with network elements. 2 SFP connectors serve to transport data via optical fibers. It uses Dual Personality ports, remarkable for incorporating both the RJ-45 and SFP connector ; however, only one of them can be used at a time. The switch dimensions are 485 × 347.6 × 44.5mm. QoS aka Quality of Service technology makes sure the switch doesn't get overloaded, and it also allows you to set up end station priority. The Ubiquiti device includes PoE technology, which provides power and signal connection to end devices with just one LAN cable. The switch weighs 5300g. The Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 48, PoE 500W also operates on the ISO/OSI model network layer, which means it can double as a router. Thanks to this neat feature, you won't have to buy any extra network element. Switch Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 48, PoE 500W ... Switch Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 48, PoE 500W ...
