POE+ Feature

What is POE+?

Power over Ethernet (POE) is a technology that allows network devices to receive power and data over a single Ethernet cable. The Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch is equipped with the POE+ feature, which provides enhanced power capabilities compared to standard POE.

Enhanced Power Capacity

The POE+ feature of the Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch offers a higher power capacity, allowing it to deliver up to 30 watts of power per port. This increased power capability is especially beneficial for devices that require more power, such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

With POE+, you can easily connect and power these devices without the need for additional power outlets or adapters. This simplifies installation and reduces clutter, as you can eliminate the need for multiple cables and power supplies.

Flexibility and Scalability

The POE+ feature of the Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch provides flexibility and scalability in your network infrastructure. You can easily add or relocate powered devices without the need for additional electrical wiring. This flexibility is particularly useful in environments where devices are frequently moved or added, such as office spaces or retail stores.

Additionally, the increased power capacity of POE+ allows for future-proofing your network. As technology advances and devices with higher power requirements become available, your network infrastructure will be ready to support them without the need for costly upgrades.

Simplified Network Management

The Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch's POE+ feature enhances network management capabilities. With centralized control and monitoring of powered devices, you can easily manage and troubleshoot your network infrastructure. This simplifies network administration and reduces downtime.

Furthermore, the switch provides power management features that allow you to allocate power efficiently. You can prioritize critical devices, set power budgets, and monitor power consumption. This level of control ensures that your network operates optimally, preventing power overload and ensuring reliable performance.

SFP+ Feature

What is SFP+?

The Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch is equipped with the SFP+ feature, which stands for Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus. SFP+ is an enhanced version of the SFP transceiver module, offering higher data rates and improved performance.

Higher Data Rates

The SFP+ feature of the Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch supports data rates of up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps). This increased speed allows for high-bandwidth applications and data-intensive tasks, such as video streaming, large file transfers, and data backups.

By leveraging the higher data rates of SFP+, you can ensure smooth and seamless network performance, even in demanding environments. This feature is particularly beneficial for organizations with growing bandwidth needs or those requiring fast and reliable connectivity.

Compatibility and Flexibility

The SFP+ feature of the Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch offers compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment. The standard SFP+ interface allows for easy integration with various switches, routers, and other network devices.

Additionally, the switch supports a variety of SFP+ transceiver modules, including fiber-optic and copper options. This flexibility enables you to choose the most suitable module for your specific networking requirements. Whether you need long-distance connections or short-range links, the SFP+ feature can accommodate your needs.

Future-Proofing Your Network

Investing in a switch with the SFP+ feature allows you to future-proof your network infrastructure. As technology advances and higher data rates become the norm, your network will be ready to handle the increased demands.

By choosing a switch with SFP+, you can avoid the need for costly upgrades or replacements in the future. This scalability and adaptability ensure that your network remains efficient and capable of supporting emerging technologies and applications.

Manageable Feature

What is Manageable?

The Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch is designed to be highly manageable, offering advanced features and capabilities that enhance network administration and control.

Centralized Network Management

The manageable feature of the Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch allows for centralized network management. With a comprehensive management interface, you can easily configure, monitor, and troubleshoot your network infrastructure.

Through a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) or command-line interface (CLI), you can access various management options. This includes configuring VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS) settings, security policies, and more. Centralized management simplifies network administration, reduces configuration errors, and improves overall efficiency.

Advanced Security

The manageable feature of the Cisco C6800IA-48FPDR Switch includes advanced security capabilities to protect your network from unauthorized access and potential threats. With features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), port security, and secure remote management protocols, you can safeguard your network infrastructure.

Furthermore, the switch supports authentication mechanisms such as 802.1X, which provides secure access control to network resources. This ensures that only authorized devices and users can connect to your network, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches.
