PowerConnect 2808
Incredible value, flexible management capabilities and an energy-conscious design make this ideal for businesses, branch offices, schools and retail establishments with small networks. Fanless design is well-suited for quiet office environments.
PowerConnect 2816
Incredible value, flexible management capabilities and an energy-conscious design make this ideal for small networks that require a higher port density than the PowerConnect 2808. Fanless design is well-suited for quiet office environments.
PowerConnect 2824
Scalable from small workgroups to dense access solutions, the 2824 offers 24-port flexibility plus two combo small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports for connecting the switch to other networking equipment located beyond the 100 m distance limitations of copper cabling.
PowerConnect 2848
Scalable from small workgroups to highly dense acess solutions, the 2848 offers the highest port density in the PowerConnect 2800 family plus four combo small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports for connecting the switch to other networking equipment located beyond the 100 m distance limitations of copper cabling.
