SKU: CX102S-8MT-M Category: Campus Access and Aggregation Switch Tags: 2.5G Enterprise Switches, 2.5G RJ45, 8 Ports, 10G SFP+ Uplinks, PoE+(802.3at), PoE++(802.3bt)

Asteraix 8-port 2.5G PoE++ switch CX102S-8MT has 8x 2.5G RJ45 ports with 2x 10G SFP+ ports uplinks, which is designed for high-performance WiFi 6/6E access points, HD/4K security camera systems, digital signage, IoT, and small business networks. These 8x 2.5G ports support PoE++(IEEE 802.3bt), and the maximum PoE power budget is 150W. The PoE power output per port is up to 60W(PoE++), these ports are backward compatible with PoE+ and PoE devices.

Compare to 8 port gigabit PoE++ switch, the 2.5G PoE++ switch increased bandwidth that better support for multiple high-bandwidth devices such as WiFi 6/6E APs.

Upgrade WiFi network deployment, and run bandwidth-intensive applications, a power over ethernet switch 8 port 2.5GbE is a good choice, preloaded commercial SONiC NOS – AsterNOS that supports rich features of layer 2 and layer 3, such as OSPF and BGP, and additional capabilities such as MLAG and IPV6. The optional PTP module provides accurate time synchronization, enhanced security, simplified network management, and improved network performance.
