Recommendations

Choose a PoE Plus model (GS1900-8HP/10HP/24HP/48HP) if you plan to power multiple high-power devices from the switch. For mixed copper and fiber deployments or longer-distance uplinks, select a model with SFP slots (GS1900-10HP/24/24HP/48/48HP). Ensure firmware is kept up to date and apply appropriate VLAN and access controls to maintain network security.
