Additionally, the switch supports advanced security protocols like Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, ensuring secure remote management and preventing unauthorized configuration changes.

PoE+

The Cisco CBS350-8P-E-2G Rack-Mountable switch features Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), enabling both data and power transmission over a single Ethernet cable. This feature offers numerous benefits for businesses that rely on power-hungry devices and require a flexible and efficient power delivery solution.

Cost Efficiency

By eliminating the need for separate power cables and outlets for each connected device, PoE+ significantly reduces installation and maintenance costs. Businesses can avoid the expenses associated with electrical wiring, power adapters, and additional power outlets, resulting in cost savings. Additionally, PoE+ eliminates the risk of power outages for connected devices, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Flexibility and Scalability

With PoE+, the Cisco CBS350-8P-E-2G switch provides flexibility and scalability for network deployments. Users can easily add or relocate devices without the constraints of power availability, as the switch can provide power directly through the Ethernet cables. This eliminates the need for dedicated power sources in hard-to-reach areas or locations where power outlets are limited, offering greater flexibility in network design and expansion.

Device Compatibility

PoE+ compatibility ensures that a wide range of network devices can be powered and connected using a single cable. This includes devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, and even small-scale servers. With PoE+, businesses can efficiently deploy these devices without worrying about power supply limitations, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.

SFP

The Cisco CBS350-8P-E-2G Rack-Mountable switch is equipped with 1 Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) port. This feature provides users with additional flexibility and connectivity options for their network infrastructure.

Expanded Network Reach

The SFP port on the Cisco CBS350-8P-E-2G allows for the use of fiber optic cables, extending the reach of your network infrastructure. Fiber optic technology offers greater transmission distances compared to traditional copper cables, enabling connections over longer distances without sacrificing performance. This is particularly advantageous for businesses with multiple buildings or large office spaces that require seamless connectivity across different areas.

High Bandwidth Capability

The SFP port supports high-speed data transmission, making it an ideal choice for bandwidth-intensive applications. Whether you need to transmit large files, stream high-definition video content, or handle data-intensive tasks, the SFP port provides the necessary bandwidth to ensure smooth and reliable performance. This capability is especially crucial for industries such as media, entertainment, and healthcare, where high bandwidth is essential for critical operations.

Interoperability

The SFP port on the Cisco CBS350-8P-E-2G switch offers interoperability with various SFP modules, allowing users to choose the most suitable optics for their specific network requirements. This flexibility ensures compatibility with different network architectures and enables seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Users can select the appropriate SFP module based on factors such as transmission distance, media type, and data rate, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.
