Managed L2/L3 Switch Lancom Systems LANCOM XS-3526YUP — 24× 2.5G RJ‑45, PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt), 10G support, 1U rack

LANCOM XS-3526YUP is a managed L2/L3 1U rack-mount switch with 24 RJ-45 ports supporting 2.5G Ethernet (100/1000/2500) and extensive Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt) capabilities. The device offers eight 10G-capable multi‑gigabit ports, two SFP28 fiber ports for up to 25 Gbps uplinks, a MAC table sized for 32,000 entries, console RJ-45 access and an AC power supply. Designed for enterprise access or aggregation layers, the switch provides static routing and DHCP server functionality, secure access control and optional cloud management for centralized provisioning and monitoring.

Advantages

The LANCOM XS-3526YUP combines multi‑gigabit access performance with high PoE power reserves, enabling centralized power delivery to demanding end devices without additional electrical installation. With 10G-capable copper ports and SFP28 uplinks, it preserves existing fiber infrastructure while increasing per‑port bandwidth. Basic layer 3 features reduce load on routers and the device supports modern security standards and remote management protocols for professional network operation.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Wired access for high‑performance Wi‑Fi 7 access points and other multi‑gigabit endpoints
• PoE powering of cameras, touch displays, lighting fixtures and other high‑power devices
• Aggregation and distribution in medium enterprise networks and campus deployments
• Sites requiring centralised configuration and monitoring via cloud management

How to use

Install the LANCOM XS-3526YUP in a standard 19" rack (1U) and connect required uplink fibers to the SFP28 ports or copper uplink ports as appropriate. Attach access devices to the RJ‑45 ports using suitable cabling (Cat6a/Cat7 recommended for full 10G performance). Configure basic network parameters through the device web interface, command line (console RJ‑45) or integrate the switch with LANCOM Management Cloud for centralized provisioning. Enable and configure PoE profiles, VLANs, static routes or DHCP server settings according to network design and power requirements.

Recommendations

For optimal multi‑gigabit and PoE performance, use Cat6a or Cat7 cabling for 10G connections and verify connected devices’ PoE class before allocating power. When managing multiple sites, consider LMC integration for zero‑touch provisioning and consistent port profiles. Ensure adequate rack ventilation and monitor PoE budget to prevent overload during peak device activity.
