Ports

The Cisco SM-X-ES3-16-P Ethernet Switching Module is equipped with 16 ports, making it an ideal choice for businesses in need of multiple connections. These ports provide users with the flexibility to connect various devices, enabling seamless communication and data transfer within the network.

Increased Connectivity

With 16 ports, this Ethernet switching module offers increased connectivity options for users. Whether you need to connect computers, printers, servers, or other network devices, this module has you covered. The abundance of ports ensures that you can easily accommodate the growing number of devices in your network without the need for additional equipment.

Efficient Network Management

Having multiple ports at your disposal allows for efficient network management. You can segment your network into different VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) using these ports, ensuring better security and optimal performance. By assigning specific ports to different departments or user groups, you can control access and manage bandwidth effectively.

Improved Data Transfer Speeds

The 16 ports on the Cisco SM-X-ES3-16-P Ethernet Switching Module support high-speed data transfer rates, enabling seamless communication between devices. Whether you are transferring large files or streaming media content, these ports ensure quick and reliable data exchange, reducing latency and improving overall network performance.

Scalability for Future Growth

The 16 ports on this module offer scalability for future growth. As your business expands and more devices are added to the network, having additional ports readily available saves you from investing in new networking equipment. This scalability ensures that your network can adapt to evolving business needs without significant infrastructure changes.

Power Over Ethernet

The Cisco SM-X-ES3-16-P Ethernet Switching Module also features Power Over Ethernet (PoE) capability, providing users with the ability to power compatible network devices directly from the switch. This feature eliminates the need for separate power adapters and allows for a more streamlined and efficient network setup.

Simplified Installation

With PoE, you can easily install network devices in locations where power outlets are not readily available. This feature simplifies the deployment process, as you no longer need to worry about running power cables to each device. Simply connect your PoE-enabled devices to the Cisco SM-X-ES3-16-P Ethernet Switching Module, and they will receive both data and power through a single Ethernet cable.

Cost Savings

By utilizing PoE, businesses can achieve cost savings by eliminating the need for individual power adapters for each device. This not only reduces clutter but also lowers energy consumption. With PoE, you can consolidate power usage, resulting in lower electricity costs and more environmentally friendly network infrastructure.

Flexibility and Mobility

The PoE feature on this Ethernet switching module offers flexibility and mobility in network deployment. You can easily move and relocate devices within your network without the constraint of power outlets. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses that require frequent reconfiguration of their network or have temporary setups in different locations.

Centralized Power Management

With Power Over Ethernet, you can centrally manage and monitor the power consumption of your network devices. The Cisco SM-X-ES3-16-P Ethernet Switching Module provides comprehensive power management capabilities, allowing you to prioritize power allocation based on device requirements. This centralized control ensures efficient utilization of power resources and enables proactive troubleshooting of potential issues.
