Six real deployment scenarios matched to this model's actual datasheet specifications.
Simple All-Copper Gigabit Cabinet UpgradeAll 8 × 10/100/1000Base-T ports run full-rate Gigabit with no fiber optics or SFP modules to manage — a drop-in upgrade path for Fast-Ethernet cabinets that only need copper-to-copper Gigabit access.
DIN-Rail Cabinet Installation, Any Power TypeThree selectable power inputs — AC 220V (100–240V) single input, DC 24V (12–36V) redundant, or DC 48V (36–56V) redundant — and a compact 32×144×95 mm DIN-rail (or wall-mount) body fit directly into a standard electrical cabinet.
High-Density MAC Table for Busy Gigabit SegmentsAn 8K MAC address table with a 1 Mbit packet buffer — double the MAC table size of this series' Fast-Ethernet-only 8-port sibling — handles heavier device counts and traffic bursts on Gigabit-speed segments.
AC-Powered Retrofits Without DC InfrastructureThe -AC variant runs directly off AC 220V (100–240V) mains, letting sites without an existing DC 24V/48V control-panel supply add Gigabit copper switching without installing a separate DC power source.
Wide-Temperature Outdoor & Unheated Cabinet DeploymentA wide operating range of -40 to +75°C (-40 to +85°C storage) plus EN61000-4 Level 3 EMC immunity suit unheated roadside cabinets and unconditioned equipment rooms.
Gigabit Uplink Aggregation for Cameras & Access PointsWhere Fast Ethernet's 100 Mbps ceiling bottlenecks Gigabit-capable cameras or Wi-Fi access points, all 8 × 10/100/1000Base-T ports give each device a full 1000 Mbps uplink instead of throttling it to 100 Mbps.
