Cisco SG350-28MP-K9-NA Managed Switch, 28-Ports

Ports

The Cisco SG350-28MP-K9-NA Managed Switch is equipped with an impressive 28 ports, making it an ideal networking solution for businesses of all sizes. Whether you have a small office or a large enterprise, this switch provides the necessary connectivity to keep your network running smoothly.

Increased Flexibility and Scalability

With 28 ports, the SG350-28MP-K9-NA allows you to connect multiple devices to your network simultaneously. This means you can connect computers, printers, servers, IP phones, and other network devices without worrying about running out of available ports. The abundance of ports also provides room for future expansion, allowing your network to grow as your business grows.

Efficient Data Transfer

Each port on the Cisco SG350-28MP-K9-NA Managed Switch supports fast Ethernet speeds, ensuring efficient data transfer between connected devices. This high-speed connectivity is especially important for businesses that rely on data-intensive applications or require real-time communication. Whether you're transferring large files or streaming high-definition video, the 28 ports on this switch guarantee seamless and uninterrupted data flow.

Improved Network Performance

The 28 ports on the SG350-28MP-K9-NA also contribute to improved network performance. By distributing the network load across multiple ports, this switch prevents congestion and bottlenecks that can slow down data transfer and affect overall network performance. This ensures that each connected device receives optimal bandwidth and reduces the likelihood of network downtime or latency issues.

VLAN Support

In addition to its 28 ports, the Cisco SG350-28MP-K9-NA Managed Switch supports Virtual LANs (VLANs). VLANs allow you to segment your network into smaller, isolated networks, providing enhanced security and control over network traffic. With VLAN support, you can easily separate different departments or guest networks from your main network, ensuring data privacy and preventing unauthorized access.

Cost-Effective Solution

The 28 ports on the SG350-28MP-K9-NA offer a cost-effective solution for businesses. Instead of investing in multiple switches to accommodate all your network devices, this single switch provides ample connectivity. This not only reduces the cost of purchasing additional switches but also simplifies network management and reduces maintenance efforts.

Power Over Ethernet

One of the standout features of the Cisco SG350-28MP-K9-NA Managed Switch is its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability. This switch offers 1 PoE port, enabling you to power compatible devices directly through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies. This feature brings numerous benefits and is particularly advantageous in certain scenarios.

Simplified Installation

With the SG350-28MP-K9-NA's PoE capability, you can easily deploy network devices in areas where power outlets are limited or not easily accessible. By powering devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras directly from the switch, you can eliminate the hassle and cost of running additional power cables. This simplifies installation and allows for more flexibility in device placement.

Reduced Cable Clutter

By utilizing PoE, you can significantly reduce cable clutter in your network infrastructure. Traditional setups often require separate power cables for each device, leading to a tangle of wires that are not only unsightly but also difficult to manage. With the SG350-28MP-K9-NA's PoE capability, you can consolidate power and data into a single Ethernet cable, streamlining your network setup and improving aesthetics.

Improved Reliability

The PoE feature of the Cisco SG350-28MP-K9-NA Managed Switch also enhances reliability. By eliminating the need for external power supplies, you can reduce the risk of device failure due to power-related issues. Power failures or fluctuations in the electrical grid will have minimal impact on your network, as the switch can continue to provide power to connected devices through its internal power supply.

Remote Power Management

Another advantage of PoE is the ability to remotely manage and control power to connected devices. The SG350-28MP-K9-NA switch allows you to monitor and adjust power settings for individual ports, enabling you to reboot or power down devices without physical access. This remote power management feature saves time and resources, especially in large-scale deployments or when troubleshooting network issues.

Cost Savings

Implementing PoE with the Cisco SG350-28MP-K9-NA Managed Switch can lead to significant cost savings. By eliminating the need for separate power supplies and reducing cable requirements, you can lower installation costs and streamline maintenance. Additionally, PoE reduces energy consumption by optimizing power usage, resulting in lower electricity bills and a more environmentally friendly network.

In conclusion, the Cisco SG350-28MP-K9-NA Managed Switch's 28 ports provide increased flexibility, improved network performance, and efficient data transfer. The Power over Ethernet feature with its 1 PoE port simplifies installation, reduces cable clutter, enhances reliability, enables remote power management, and offers cost savings. With these features, this switch is an excellent choice for businesses seeking a reliable and scalable networking solution.
