The GS-1026 V2 is 24-port gigabit with 2 SFP slots rack-mount switch, that is designed for medium or large network environment to strengthen its network connection. Including rack-mount brackets, the 19" size switch fits into your rack cabinet. It is a superb choice to boost your network with higher performance & efficiency. Built-in 2 SFP slots The GS-1026 V2 is built in with 2 SFP slots to uplink to the server, storage, or other switch. You can make the connection by plugging in standard SFP fiber modules for long distance applications. Supports High-Speed Networking & Jumbo Frames The GS-1026 V2 is an excellent solution to expand your Gigabit network. With Gigabit speed, the GS-1026 V2 gives high flexibility & high bandwidth connectivity to servers, workstations & other attached devices. It enables you to save time when transferring large files. In addition, it also supports Jumbo Frames 9K to improve network utilization in large files transfer. Plug & Play, No Installation Required Just plug Ethernet enabled devices into the switch. Data can be transmitted through existing standard Cat-5e Ethernet cables with no additional cables or configuration required. High Performance The GS-1026 V2 switch also supports auto-negotiation, non-blocking wire speed, auto-MDI/MDI-X & store & forward architecture to give you the maximum speed & highest performance possible for each device connected to your network. • Auto-Negotiation Each of the GS-1026 V2 ’s ports automatically detect whether connected network devices are running at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps & half-duplex or full-duplex mode, & adjusts the speed & mode accordingly ensuring easy & hassle-free operation. • Non-Blocking Wire Speed Forwards & receives traffic seamlessly – each port supports speeds up to 200 Mbps in full-duplex mode simultaneously, providing full wire speed to connected devices & allowing you to run a high speed network smoothly. • Supports Auto-MDI/MDI-X Every port of the GS-1026 V2 can automatically detect the type of cables. There is no need to choose crossover or parallel cables when you are connecting this switch to another switch or to a computer. • Supports Store & Forward Architecture With the store & forward architecture filters fragment & CRC error packets, the GS-1026 V2 can maximize network performance while minimizing the propagation of bad network packets. Power Saving Along with the Fast Ethernet speeds critical for next-generation network applications, the GS-1026 V1 offers environmental efficiency. To comply with the IEEE802.3az standard, the GS-1026 V2 provides power saving functionality to reduce energy consumption & save costs: • Inactive Link Detection When a network device is shut down and/or an inactive link is detected, the power usage adjustment feature automatically reduces power usage. The switch’s power consumption will be dynamically adjusted according to the link status & the number of active network devices. • Cable Length Detection Devices equipped with this feature automatically detect the length of connected Ethernet cables & adjust power usage accordingly. The shorter the cable length, the less power it consumes. Fan-less Design Since the fan-less design provides quiet operation & helps to extend the device’s lifetime in office spaces, the GS-1026 V2 is the perfect solution for small business & SOHO office deployments.
