Product Description

Enhanced Scalability & Network Convergence for Growing Businesses The Pro SAFE® Stackable Smart Switch series is unique in delivering the scalability, reliability, & performance growing small & medium-sized businesses need in an affordable & easy-to-manage package. The second generation of these Stackable Smart Switches consists of 4 models in 28/52-port configurations. Each switch in the series comes with a total of 6 SFP ports for fiber connectivity. Among them, 2 are shared, & the other 4 are dedicated for either stacking or uplinks. This new generation of Stackable Smart Switches offers two models that support Po E+ (up to 30W per port) allowing more flexible network deployments of Po E devices. The Pro SAFE® Stackable Switch series offers the flexibility & scalability that will make it easier for growing businesses to seamlessly expand their network capacity. Stacking for Scalability & High Availability The new Generation of Stackable Smart Switches use 2 dedicated ports in the front of the switch for stacking, providing a 10 Gbps, dual-ring, highly redundant stacking bus that carries intra-stack traffic & provide highest level of resilience, allowing you to stack up to six switches or up to 300 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, forming a virtual chassis for easy management under a single IP address. This stacking technology also provides several high-availability features to ensure business continuity: Resiliency: Due to redundant stacking port connections, there is an automatic fail-over in case any switch in the stack fails, with rapid reconfiguration, thus preventing network downtime. Hot-swappable: All switches in the stack are hot-swappable, & can be integrated or removed without disrupting the network. Full-featured, Flexible 802.3at Power over Ethernet (Po E+) With a total power budget of 192 Watts for the GS728TPS & 384 Watts for the GS752TPS, customers can choose to connect up to 48 802.3at IP-based devices in their
