For some networks the so-called 'managed switches' are over-dimensioned regarding their functional diversity & are thus frequently very expensive. In these cases the Websmart switches are a good alternative! With the LANCOM GS-1224, LANCOM sets new standards for Websmart switches: The new switch offers the usual security features like 802.1x authentication on all ports & enables a monitoring via SNMP & LAN-monitor. In addition, it possesses effective power-saving functions, such as performance adjustment to different cable lengths & the automatic port switch-off for ports not being used. The fan-less design of the switch immediately brings two benefits: firstly, the power is saved & secondly, the switch works completely without noise, so that it can be used without any problems in offices & business rooms. Convince yourself: With its 20 W power consumption the GS-1224 is around one-third below of what the switches currently available in the market mostly need.
