Whether you have a small office or a large enterprise, this switch offers the flexibility and scalability you need to connect all your devices and ensure smooth data transmission.

Increased Connectivity

With 52 ports, this switch provides ample connectivity options for all your devices, including computers, printers, servers, and IP phones. You can easily connect multiple devices simultaneously without the need for additional switches or hubs. This not only simplifies your network infrastructure but also reduces the overall cost of equipment.

Improved Network Performance

The Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch's 52 ports allow for efficient data transmission and prevent network congestion. Each port supports high-speed Gigabit Ethernet, enabling fast and reliable communication between devices. This ensures that your network operates at optimal performance, even during peak usage periods.

VLAN Support

With the abundance of ports, you can create multiple Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) to segregate your network traffic based on different departments, user groups, or security requirements. This enhances network security and allows for better management of network resources.

Efficient Power over Ethernet (PoE)

In addition to the 52 ports, the Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology on all its ports. This means that you can power compatible devices directly through the Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power sources. This is particularly advantageous for IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras as it simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter.

Cost Savings

By utilizing PoE, you can save on the cost of electrical wiring and power adapters. It eliminates the need for additional power outlets near each device, reducing installation and maintenance expenses. Moreover, PoE allows for more flexible device placement, as you are not limited by the availability of electrical sockets.

Increased Reliability

Power outages can disrupt network operations and cause downtime. With PoE, the Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch can provide power to connected devices through an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), ensuring continuous operation even during power failures. This enhances the reliability of your network infrastructure and minimizes any potential disruptions to your business operations.

Manageable

The Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch offers advanced manageability features that empower network administrators to have complete control over their networks. With its comprehensive management options, you can easily configure, monitor, and troubleshoot your network.

Web-based GUI

The switch provides a user-friendly web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to manage and configure the device through a web browser. This intuitive interface simplifies network management tasks, even for users without extensive networking knowledge. You can easily set up VLANs, monitor traffic, and apply security settings with just a few clicks.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

For advanced users familiar with command line interfaces, the Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch also supports a CLI for more granular control and configuration. The CLI provides a powerful tool for experienced administrators who prefer the command line environment for network management tasks.

Network Monitoring

The switch offers comprehensive network monitoring capabilities, allowing you to keep track of network performance and identify potential issues. You can monitor traffic patterns, bandwidth utilization, and error rates, enabling proactive troubleshooting and optimization of your network.

Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration

The Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch allows you to prioritize network traffic based on your specific requirements. With QoS configuration options, you can allocate bandwidth to critical applications or services, ensuring that they receive the necessary resources for optimal performance. This helps eliminate bottlenecks and ensures a smooth user experience for mission-critical applications.

Security Management

Network security is a top priority for any organization. The switch provides robust security features, including access control lists (ACLs), port security, and Secure Shell (SSH) encryption. These features enable you to control access to your network, prevent unauthorized access, and encrypt sensitive data during transmission.

PoE

The Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch offers Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability on one of its ports, providing significant benefits and convenience to your network infrastructure.

Powering Network Devices

The PoE feature allows you to power compatible network devices directly through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power adapters or electrical outlets. This simplifies the installation process and reduces cable clutter, making it ideal for devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras.

Flexibility in Device Placement

With PoE support, you are not limited by the availability of power outlets when deciding where to place your devices. You can easily deploy network devices in locations that are most convenient for your network design and coverage, without worrying about the proximity to electrical sockets.

Cost Savings

PoE technology eliminates the need for additional electrical wiring and power adapters, resulting in cost savings during installation and maintenance. It reduces the complexity of managing power supplies and saves on energy costs by optimizing power consumption.

Centralized Power Management

The Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch allows you to centrally manage the power distribution to your PoE devices. You can monitor and control the power usage of each connected device, ensuring efficient utilization of resources and preventing power overload situations.

Redundancy and Reliability

Power outages can disrupt network operations, but with PoE, you can connect your devices to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for backup power. This redundancy ensures that your network devices remain operational even during power failures, minimizing downtime and maintaining business continuity.

Stackable

The stackable feature of the Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch provides enhanced scalability and flexibility for growing networks. By stacking multiple switches together, you can expand your network capacity without adding complexity to your infrastructure.

Increased Network Capacity

Stacking allows you to combine multiple switches into a single logical unit, increasing the overall capacity of your network. With the Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch, you can stack up to four units together, creating a high-performance network fabric capable of handling demanding workloads.

Simplified Management

When switches are stacked, they can be managed as one entity, simplifying network operations. You can configure and monitor the entire stack from a single management interface, reducing the time and effort required for network management tasks. This centralized management approach also enhances network security as policies and configurations can be easily synchronized across the stack.

Resilient Stacking

The stackable feature provides redundancy and resiliency to ensure uninterrupted network connectivity. If one switch in the stack fails, the traffic is automatically rerouted through the remaining switches, minimizing downtime and maintaining network performance.

Hot-Swappable

The Cisco SG500-52P-K9 Switch supports hot-swappable stacking modules, allowing you to add or remove switches from the stack without disrupting network operations. This enables seamless expansion or maintenance without interrupting critical services or causing downtime.

Flexible Growth

As your network grows, the stackable feature allows you to easily add more switches to accommodate additional devices or users. This scalability ensures that your network can keep up with the increasing demands of your business, without the need for complex reconfiguration or replacement of existing equipment.
