gigabit desktop switch

The selection includes PoE/PoE+ models with varying port counts and power budgets. Examples shown: 48 PoE+ ports with a 370 W total budget, 24 PoE+ ports with a 193 W budget, and smaller 8‑port PoE+ models listing total budgets of 65 W or 78 W.

Security features include Access Control Lists (ACLs), 802.1X with RADIUS authentication, ARP‑spoofing prevention, DHCP server screening, and anti‑flood/safeguard engine protections to help block unauthorized traffic and IP assignment.

Several models comply with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and emphasize power savings. Some designs are fan‑less for silent desktop operation, while an audio/AV‑focused unit highlights a low‑noise architecture.

AV‑focused switches may include optical galvanic isolation or optical isolation, low‑noise architectures and precision internal components, femto‑precision clocking for low jitter, and dedicated ports such as optical SFP/SC and BNC clock in/out to preserve signal integrity.

Packaging and installation vary by model: some desktop/AV units include a vertical stand and anti‑slip pads for desktop use, while at least one managed switch ships with a rack‑mount kit. Several compact units emphasize fan‑less, silent desktop operation.
