Our top manufacturers for your gigabit switch
Rely on gigabit switches from leading manufacturers that stand for quality, reliability and optimum performance in the corporate environment.
- Lenovo: Popular thanks to powerful RackSwitch series
- IBM: Network expertise for enterprise environments
- Aruba: Premium switches for complex IT structures
- HPE: Proven performance for professional networks
- Dell: Dell EMC switches for scalable infrastructures
Network under control: Advantages of managed gigabit switches
In contrast to simple unmanaged switches, managed gigabit switches offer precise control options
- VLANs isolate critical business areas (e.g. finance department or production control) for greater security.
- QoS (Quality of Service) automatically prioritizes real-time communication such as VoIP telephony or video conferencing.
- SNMP protocols monitor network utilization and detect bottlenecks before they lead to problems.
Power over Ethernet (PoE): one cable for power and data
A PoE-capable Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch (e.g. the popular 2.5 Gbit LAN switch or 10 Gbit Ethernet switch) supplies connected devices such as IP cameras, access points or VoIP solutions directly via the Ethernet cable.
- PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at): Up to 30 watts per port - sufficient for most professional devices.
- PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt): Up to 100 watts for power-hungry applications such as PTZ cameras or digital signage.
Reduce installation costs by eliminating separate power cables - especially for retrofits or flexible working environments.
Future-proof with multi-gigabit switch and fiber optics
Rely on switches that are not only capable of gigabit but also enable multi-gig speeds and fiber optic connections today.
- Multi-gig ports (2.5 Gbit switch/5 Gbit switch/10 Gbit switch) offer upgrade paths for future requirements without having to replace the entire network.
- SFP/SFP+ slots enable the connection of fiber optic modules for interference-free connections over long distances or in EMC-loaded environments.
Use fiber uplinks to connect sites across campuses with up to 10 Gbits - ideal for manufacturing or logistics companies.
Scalability and management tools
Grow without a complexity explosion - thanks to intelligent management functions, you can keep even large switch farms under control.
- Stacking functions combine multiple switches into a logical unit that can be managed centrally - perfect for branch networks.
- Cloud management enables remote maintenance of all locations via a single interface.
You can also plan the required number of copper/fiber ports plus reserve ports for future expansion. The following variants, for example, are suitable for this:
- Gigabit switch 8 port: Ideal for small networks or individual workstation
- Gigabit switch 24 port: Standard for medium-sized companies with many end devices
- 10 Gigabit Switch 8 Port: Compact but powerful - for servers or data-intensive devices
- 10 Gigabit Switch 16 Port: For demanding environments with high data loads
In contrast to a layer 2 gigabit switch, you can even integrate routing functions directly into the switch with a layer 3 gigabit switch - ideal for large locations with multiple subnets.
