Frequently Asked Questions
What type of network requires 48 gigabit ports?
A 48-port switch serves large office campuses, multi-building enterprises, data centres, and institutions with hundreds of wired devices requiring high port density and scalable management.
Is this switch suitable for a university or large school?
Yes, the 48-port design with 70 Gbps throughput and fibre uplinks is ideal for educational campuses with numerous offices, classrooms, and support facilities requiring extensive connectivity.
What advantage do SFP+ ports provide over regular Ethernet?
The two SFP+ ports enable 10 Gbps fibre-optic uplinks, delivering high-capacity, long-distance connections to core infrastructure without the distance or bandwidth limits of copper cables.
Can this switch support future network growth?
Yes, the 48-port capacity and advanced Layer 2/3 features provide substantial headroom for expansion; the high throughput accommodates growth without requiring replacement.
What is Layer 2/3 switching and why does it matter?
Layer 2/3 switching combines local network switching (Layer 2) with routing capabilities (Layer 3), allowing intelligent traffic management and segmentation across complex network topologies.
How does 70 Gbps non-blocking throughput benefit my network?
Non-blocking 70 Gbps means all 48 ports can operate at full gigabit speed simultaneously without data congestion, ensuring consistent performance during peak usage.
What delivery and lead time should I plan for?
Procure.ae supplies the UAE and GCC on a request-a-quote basis; contact the team for current availability and estimated delivery timeframes.
