Baseline Switch 2816-SFP Plus is a versatile,
easy-to-use configurable Switch. It is ideal for users who want
the high-speed performance of 10/100/1000 switching with the
added functionality of Gigabit links, but do not need
sophisticated management capabilities. The Switch is shipped
ready for use. No configuration is necessary.
Baseline Switch 2816-SFP Plus
The Switch has 16 shielded RJ-45, 10/100/1000 Mbps
auto-negotiating ports and four Small Form Factor Pluggable
(SFP) transceiver slots on the front panel for easy, flexible
connection to fiber-based Gigabit media. Each 10/100/1000
Mbps port automatically determines the speed and duplex mode
of the connected equipment and provides a suitable switched
connection. The four SFP ports support fiber Gigabit Ethernet
short-wave (SX) and long-wave (LX) SFP transceivers in any
combination. This offers you the flexibility of using SFP
transceivers to provide connectivity between the Switch and a
1000 Mbps core network.
The Switch is suitable for office use where it can be
free-standing, or rack mounted (in a wiring closet or equipment
room).
