Level One GEP-2821 switch

LevelOne GEP-2821 28-Port Gigabit PoE+ Unmanaged Switch

Upgrade and simplify your network infrastructure with the LevelOne GEP-2821, a high-performance 28-Port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE+ Switch designed for modern small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), educational institutions, and retail environments. This robust and cost-effective solution provides both high-speed data connectivity and power over a single Ethernet cable, streamlining the installation of network devices and significantly reducing cabling costs and complexity.

Key Benefits:

The GEP-2821 is engineered for reliability and ease of use. As an unmanaged switch, it offers a true plug-and-play experience—no configuration or software is required, allowing for rapid deployment and network expansion. Its substantial 380W total PoE power budget is a standout feature, enabling it to simultaneously power numerous devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and high-definition IP surveillance cameras (including PTZ models) directly through the network cable. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters and electrical outlets for each device, creating a cleaner and more flexible installation.

With full Gigabit Ethernet speeds across all 28 ports, the GEP-2821 ensures a bottleneck-free network environment. It delivers a total switching capacity of 56 Gbps, guaranteeing smooth performance for bandwidth-intensive tasks like large file transfers, 4K video streaming, and real-time communications. The inclusion of four combo SFP slots provides essential flexibility for fiber optic uplinks, allowing for high-speed, long-distance connections to a server or core network backbone, crucial for expanding networks across larger buildings or campuses. Housed in a durable 1U metal chassis, it is perfectly suited for standard 19-inch rack mounting in server rooms and network cabinets, ensuring a professional and organized setup.

Main Features:

* High-Port Density: A total of 28 Gigabit Ethernet ports for extensive network connectivity.
* Powerful PoE+ Capability: 24 ports support the IEEE 802.3at/af Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) standard.
* Generous Power Budget: A robust 380W total power budget, with the ability to supply up to 30W per port.
* Flexible Uplink Options: 4 Combo Gigabit (RJ-45/SFP) ports for high-speed fiber or copper uplinks.
* Effortless Installation: Unmanaged, plug-and-play design requires zero configuration for immediate operation.
* Superior Performance: A 56 Gbps switching fabric ensures non-blocking, line-speed performance for all connected devices.
* Large Device Capacity: An 8000 entry MAC address table efficiently handles a large number of network devices.
* Professional Form Factor: Standard 1U rack-mountable design for seamless integration into existing network infrastructure.
* Built-in Safety: Integrated overload and short-circuit protection safeguards both the switch and connected devices.
