Product Overview

TP-Link 10-Gigabit Smart Switch provides wire-speed performance and abundant L2
and L2+ management features. It provides a variety of service features and multiple
powerful functions with high security. With the 10-Gigabit Smart Switch, you can create
high-speed connections to a server or network backbone, connect switches to each
other with high-speed links, link to high-speed servers, or provide 10G copper and fiber
connectivity.
You can use Category 5e (CAT 5e) or better Ethernet cable (CAT 6, CAT 6a, or CAT 7) to
make 10G connections. TP-Link recommends that you use CAT 6a or CAT 7 cables if
the cable distance is greater than 148 feet (45 meters).
The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible
solutions for a variable scale of networks. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize
voice and video application. Link aggregation increases aggregated bandwidth,
optimizing the transport of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB and CLI Log-
in bring abundant management policies. TP-Link 10-Gigabit Smart Switch integrates
multiple functions with excellent performance, and is friendly to manage, which can
fully meet the need of the users demanding higher networking performance.
