32 PoE+ ports and 195W of budget Of the switch's 48 Gigabit RJ45 ports, 32 deliver PoE+ output, backed by a total PoE budget of 195W. This is enough to power a meaningful number of access points, IP phones, or cameras directly from the switch, while the remaining non-PoE ports serve regular wired devices such as desktops or printers on the same unit.
Four 1G SFP ports for fibre uplinks Alongside its copper ports, the switch includes 4x 1G SFP ports, giving it fibre uplink options for connecting back to a core switch or router over a longer run than copper supports, without needing a separate media converter.
Fanless operation for shared spaces A silent, fanless cooling design means the switch can be placed in an office, classroom, or reception area without contributing to background noise, which matters for access-layer switches that often end up closer to people than a switch sitting in a dedicated server room.
Managed Layer 2 feature set Despite being positioned as the "Standard" tier, the switch includes a full Layer 2 management feature set: LACP port aggregation, STP and RSTP, 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping and guarding, storm control, port isolation and mirroring, and voice VLAN support. For most access-layer deployments that don't need inter-VLAN routing on the switch itself, this covers what's actually required day to day.
