24-port SFP Layer 2+ Switch

The Planet GS-5220-16S8CR is a managed Layer 2+ switch with 24 dual-speed SFP slots and eight shared RJ-45 ports. It provides hardware IPv4 and IPv6 static routing with up to 128 static routes and route summarisation. The 1U rackmount chassis includes redundant AC and DC power inputs.

Suited for fibre backbone deployments

Network teams building a high-density fibre backbone for SMBs, campuses or enterprises will benefit from the 24 SFP interfaces and long-reach capability. Buyers who need Power over Ethernet for access points or IP cameras should look elsewhere because this model has no PoE support.

Dual-speed SFP slot count

The switch offers 24 100/1000Base-X SFP slots that accept 1000Base-SX/LX or 100Base-FX transceivers. Distances range from 550 metres to 2 kilometres over multi-mode fibre and up to 120 kilometres over single-mode or WDM fibre.

Questions about this item

How do I install the GS-5220-16S8CR in a rack and avoid the shared-port wiring mistake?

Mount the 1U chassis using the included brackets, connect AC and DC feeds for redundancy, then cable only one medium per pair — either the RJ-45 or the SFP for ports 1 to 8, never both simultaneously.

What maintenance will the GS-5220-16S8CR need over time?

Replace SFP transceivers if link budgets degrade, clean fiber end-faces when inserting new modules, and apply firmware updates from Planet to keep the 128 static-route table and IPv6 routing current.

Which limit appears first when the GS-5220-16S8CR runs at full load continuously?

The 128-entry static routing table fills before port bandwidth saturates, so route summarisation must be planned early in large VLAN deployments.
