Switch 16 PoE
USW-16-POE€269 excl. VAT
Switch 16 PoE is a fanless Layer 2 switch for a 19-inch rack with PoE output, SFP ports and a touchscreen on the front.
Who it suits
Suits small offices, shops and homes with a rack or network cabinet, where access points, cameras and phones are powered over PoE from the rack, alongside ordinary wired devices such as computers and printers. It is fanless and quiet, so the rack can sit in a room where people work. As a Layer 2 switch it does not route traffic between networks itself; the gateway does that.
