48-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

This 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switch provides plug-and-play wired connectivity for small offices and home networks. It operates silently with a fanless design and a durable metal case. The unit supports both desktop and rack mounting with the included kit. Auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX simplify cable connections.

Suits Simple Networks, Not Managed Needs

Ideal for users who need many ports without configuration complexity. It prioritises voice and video traffic automatically using 802.1p QoS. Buyers requiring VLAN support, link aggregation, SNMP monitoring, or PoE power delivery should look at managed or powered alternatives. The unmanaged design offers no software interface for traffic control.

96 Gbps Non-Blocking Architecture

The switching fabric delivers 96 Gbps total throughput, allowing all 48 ports to run at wire speed simultaneously. A 16K MAC address table and 1.5 MB buffer memory handle frame forwarding efficiently. Jumbo frame support up to 9216 bytes accommodates large data packets. Maximum power draw is 23.0 W.
