How to use

Connect your devices to the 2.5G Ethernet ports using existing Cat 5e cables to increase local network speed. For higher-capacity uplinks or NAS access, insert a compatible SFP+ module into the 10G slot and connect it to a 10G-ready device or storage. If using a PoE model, plug PoE devices such as WiFi 6/6E access points or IP cameras into the PoE++ ports to receive both power and data over the same Ethernet cable. The device is plug-and-play for basic setups and requires no additional configuration for standard operation.

Recommendations

Use Cat 5e cabling to upgrade to 2.5G without replacing cables; choose the PoE model when you need to power WiFi 6/6E APs or PTZ cameras from the switch. For large media transfers, employ the SFP+ 10G uplink to connect to NAS or servers.
