TP-Link TL-SG1048 48-Port Gigabit Rackmount Switch
The interface panel features comprehensive, unmanaged multi-port connectivity optimized to handle large volumes of high-bandwidth network traffic smoothly
-
- 48 Gigabit Ports: Provides forty-eight physical 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports to attach wire-only clients like desktop computers, high-definition IP cameras, print servers, or network-attached storage arrays.
- 96Gbps Switching Capacity: Features a high-performance non-blocking internal switching fabric that processes concurrent data streams from all forty-eight ports at maximum wire speed without internal data delivery bottlenecks
- Auto-MDIX Technology: Automatically detects and adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports, eliminating the need for specialized crossover cabling.
- Auto-Negotiation Support: Evaluates the maximum operational speed of connected client hardware dynamically to establish the most stable transmission links
- Flow Control Protocol: Utilizes IEEE 802.3x flow control for Full Duplex mode and backpressure for Half Duplex mode to alleviate data traffic congestion and protect data integrity.
Rugged Steel Architecture and Rack Installation
The physical design focuses on industrial durability, structural protection, and seamless integration into standard network enclosures:
-
- 19-Inch Steel Chassis: Houses internal components inside a rugged, heavy-duty metal enclosure designed to withstand the physical demands of crowded server rooms.
- Rackmount Ready Mounting: Package includes standard installation brackets and screws to secure the unit firmly into standard 19-inch equipment racks and cabinets.
- Internal Power Supply: Features a built-in safety-certified internal switching power supply, eliminating bulky external wall adapters and streamlining power cord management.
Green Technology and System Automation
The internal systems optimize electrical consumption to decrease operating costs without sacrificing full data transmission performance:
-
- Innovative Green Tech: Features energy-saving mechanisms that automatically analyze the connection status and length of attached network cables.
- Power Draw Adjustments: Lowers electrical usage by reducing power to inactive ports and adjusting output based on cable length, helping to decrease your overall carbon footprint and energy bills.
- MAC Address Learning: Implements self-learning and self-aging MAC address protocols, supporting a large address table to ensure precise data routing across large client counts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this network switch support power over Ethernet
No, the device does not distribute electrical power over network cables and must be paired with standard power cables connected to an electrical outlet to function.
Is this switch fanless or does it have internal fans
This specific high-density model contains internal cooling fans to regulate internal temperatures efficiently, ensuring operational stability during peak network loads.
What network cable category is recommended for this gigabit switch
To achieve full 1000Mbps gigabit speeds over the maximum transmission distance, it is recommended to use standard Category 5e, Category 6, or higher copper cables
