The ComNet CNGE3FE8MS[POE][HO] has three 100/1000Base-FX SFP ports and eight
10/100Base-T(X) ports. Two of the SFP ports support 2.5 Gbps SFPs for high speed
communication in bandwidth intensive applications. All SFP ports utilize ComNet
SFP modules for fiber and connector type and distance. The IEEE802.3-compliant unit
offers multiple Ethernet redundancy protocols (MSTP/RSTP/STP/ERPS (G.8032)) which
protect your applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions by
redirecting transmission within the network. The switch provides advanced IP-based
management that can limit the maximum bandwidth for each connected IP device,
allowing the user to adjust usage. Two models are available which supply Power
over Ethernet (PoE). The CNGE3FE8MSPOE model provides eight electrical ports
supporting up to thirty watts of power. On the CNGE3FE8MSPOEHO model, four
of the eight PoE ports can support up to sixty watts of PoE power. All PoE ports are
IEEE802.3at compliant.
