48-Port PoE+ L3 Managed Switch | HSP-IO-48GE4XS-C3PA+

A 48-port PoE+ switch with 48 Gigabit ports and a 740W PoE budget can power a large number of devices such as Wi-Fi 6 access points, IP surveillance cameras, and VoIP phones simultaneously. Advanced features like per-port PoE scheduling, persistent PoE, and auto device recovery ensure reliable connectivity, energy efficiency, and simplified management—ideal for smart offices, educational campuses, and service providers.

A 48-port Gigabit switch with 4×10G SFP+ uplinks delivers 176 Gbps switching capacity and 130.944 Mpps forwarding performance, ensuring wire-speed, non-blocking connectivity. This makes it perfect as an aggregation switch for enterprises, data centers, and campus networks that demand high bandwidth, low latency, and seamless scalability.

Managed switches offer greater control, flexibility, and security compared to unmanaged switches. They allow administrators to configure VLANs, optimize traffic for critical applications, monitor performance, and enforce security policies, making them essential for enterprise and campus networks.

A Gigabit switch will not increase your internet speed, as that depends on your Internet Service Provider (ISP) plan. However, it will significantly improve local network performance, enabling faster file transfers, stable video conferencing, and smooth streaming by reducing internal network congestion.

• Layer 1 (L1): Operates at the Physical Layer (like a hub), simply repeating signals without any intelligence—inefficient for modern networks.
• Layer 2 (L2): The most common type, operating at the Data Link Layer, using MAC addresses to forward frames intelligently within a LAN.
• Layer 3 (L3): Combines switching and routing, operating at the Network Layer. It uses IP addresses to route traffic between subnets, making it ideal for large, segmented enterprise networks.
