PoE power budgets vary by model. Example totals shown across different PoE/PoE+ models include 370W, 193W, 78W and 65W.

Many models include Gigabit SFP uplinks — commonly 2 SFP ports on smaller units and 4 SFP ports on larger units for flexible fiber uplinks.

Common L2 and traffic-management features include VLAN support, bandwidth control, QoS, port mirroring, link aggregation, spanning tree, IGMP snooping, and static routing on many models.

Typical security features include access control lists (ACLs), 802.1X/RADIUS authentication, ARP spoofing prevention, DHCP server screening, and safeguard engines to help protect against traffic flooding.

Switches are offered in desktop and wall-mountable form factors; some smaller units are described specifically as desktop, metal‑cased, and fanless.

Most models are Gigabit-capable, supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) wired data transfer rates.
