Cisco SG220-50-K9 50 Ports L2 Ethernet Switch 2 Combo Gigabit SFP

Ports

The Cisco SG220-50-K9 Ethernet Switch is equipped with a total of 50 ports, making it an ideal choice for businesses that require a high number of network connections. This feature provides users with the flexibility and scalability to connect multiple devices to the network without any limitations.

Increased Connectivity

With 50 ports, this Ethernet switch enables businesses to connect a wide range of devices, including computers, printers, IP phones, and servers. This increased connectivity allows for seamless communication and collaboration among employees, resulting in improved productivity and efficiency.

Reduced Network Congestion

The large number of ports on the Cisco SG220-50-K9 helps distribute network traffic evenly, reducing congestion and preventing bottlenecks. This ensures that each connected device receives sufficient bandwidth for optimal performance, even during peak usage periods.

Room for Expansion

Having 50 ports provides businesses with room for future growth and expansion. As the company expands, more devices can be easily connected to the network without the need for additional hardware investments. This scalability feature saves both time and money in the long run.

Enhanced Network Management

The extensive port count also simplifies network management tasks. Administrators can effectively organize and segment devices based on their functions or departments, making it easier to monitor and troubleshoot network-related issues. This level of control ensures a stable and secure network environment.

Combo Ports

In addition to its 50 standard ports, the Cisco SG220-50-K9 Ethernet Switch also includes 2 combo ports. These combo ports offer versatility and flexibility in connecting different types of devices to the network.

Multiple Connectivity Options

The combo ports on this Ethernet switch support both copper Ethernet and fiber optic connections. This allows businesses to connect a variety of devices, including those that require traditional Ethernet connections and those that require high-speed fiber connections.

Optimal Performance

By providing a choice between copper and fiber connections, these combo ports ensure that each device is connected using the most suitable medium for its requirements. This results in optimal performance and minimizes latency or other performance issues that may arise from using incompatible connection types.

Future-Proof Networking

The inclusion of combo ports future-proofs the network infrastructure. As businesses transition to faster and more advanced technologies, such as Gigabit Ethernet or even 10 Gigabit Ethernet, these combo ports can accommodate the necessary upgrades without requiring a complete overhaul of the network infrastructure.

Simplified Network Design

The versatility of combo ports simplifies network design and reduces the need for additional equipment. Businesses can connect a variety of devices using a single switch, eliminating the need for separate switches or converters to accommodate different connection types. This streamlines the network architecture and reduces potential points of failure.

Interface

The Cisco SG220-50-K9 Ethernet Switch features Gigabit SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) interfaces, enhancing the speed and performance of the network.

High-Speed Connectivity

Gigabit SFP interfaces provide businesses with fast and reliable connectivity. With data transfer rates of up to 1 gigabit per second, users can enjoy seamless access to network resources, such as files, applications, and cloud services.

Improved Bandwidth Allocation

The Gigabit SFP interfaces allow for efficient allocation of bandwidth across devices. This ensures that critical applications or devices receive the necessary bandwidth for uninterrupted operation, while non-essential traffic is prioritized accordingly. This optimized bandwidth allocation maximizes network performance and minimizes congestion.

Long-Distance Connectivity

Gigabit SFP interfaces also support fiber optic connections, which offer longer transmission distances compared to traditional copper Ethernet. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with multiple locations or large office spaces, as it allows for seamless connectivity across extended distances without any loss in performance.

Flexible Network Design

The inclusion of Gigabit SFP interfaces provides businesses with the flexibility to design their networks according to their specific needs. Whether it's connecting to core switches, aggregating multiple switches, or extending the network to remote locations, the Gigabit SFP interfaces offer versatile connectivity options.
