SMC Networks Introduces New Line of EZ SwitchTM Unmanaged Switches
The provider of broadband connectivity and LAN hardware solutions, SMC Networks, has launched its new generation of unmanaged switches EZ Switch, SMCFS801P models, SMCFS1601P y SMCGS801P, three devices for SMEs that support the PoE+ standard and have 8 o 16 ports.
SMC Networks has announced the launch of the latest additions to its EZ Switch family, SMCFS801P/1601P, dos switches Fast Ethernet PoE+ 10/100 of 8 y 16 ports, and the SMCGS801P, un switch Gigabit PoE+ 10/100/1000 of 8 ports. The new devices are fully compatible with IEEE802.3at, the latest standard for PoE. Compared to the previous standard, IEEE802.3af, The devices are capable of almost doubling the power of each port, of 15,4 watts to 30, and have a much higher total power in the connected PoE devices.
As a result, This new generation of switches supports a greater number of PoE devices and the result in a more flexible scenario, even when establishing and deploying devices based on PoE technology. These are the ideal solutions for companies introducing VoIP, IP surveillance and wireless installations.
As with other switches in the EZ Switch family, are completely “unmanaged”, becoming ideal solutions for SMB and SoHo environments that want to have access to the latest standards in switching technology, avoiding complicated configurations, command interfaces and manuals endless sifting though.
Another key advantage of these switches is their adaptation to the new energy saving standard., IEEE802.3az. Built on the previous standard, allows energy savings of up to 75%. In addition to the functionalities that previous standards already had, such as temporarily putting unused ports to sleep or adjusting the signal to the cable length automatically, It is now possible to save additional power in the connection between two IEEE802.3az compatible switches.
Albert Li, Company VP Product Development, has indicated that “with this new series of PoE switches, SMC Networks has once again shown its leadership in adapting new standards and providing the latest technology to its customers. PoE+ will power a new generation of PD devices and support scenarios that will reshape the way people approach network design”.
Key features and benefits:
-PoE+ Capability IEEE802.3at: The switches can provide up to 30 watts of power to PD devices, like IP phones, wireless access points, video surveillance cameras, all about category cables 5 existing (cat. 5). They can provide up to 30 watts per port and have significantly increased power compared to previous generation.
-Built on QoS: When the switch receives a list of labels with a priority 802.1p label, is placed in the appropriate priority queue. Priority queuing is vital in time-sensitive data environments, like voice and video, that are downloaded over the network.
-Fanless design: Simple switch design does not include any fans, allowing the unit to work completely silently and reliably wherever it is installed. It is especially useful for deployments in noise-sensitive locations such as an office..
-Plug-and-play: Los switches son completamente plug-and-play, no configuration required. These plug-and-play switches are the ideal choice for integrating Fast/Giga Ethernet and LAN broadband for small and medium-sized workgroups.
-Latest energy saving technology, IEEE802.3az: When two 802.3az-compatible switches connect, you can save up to 74,2% of energy consumption.
