Avaya 700305873 C364T-PWR 48x 100Base-TX LAN 2x SFP (mini-GBIC) Switch

Product Description

The Avaya C364T-PWR, identified by SKU 700305873, is a versatile managed Ethernet switch engineered to meet the demands of modern business environments. Its primary function is to facilitate high-speed data transfer within a local area network (LAN), connecting a multitude of end-user devices such as computers, printers, and IP phones. The switch boasts 48 Fast Ethernet ports, each capable of operating at 100 Mbps, ensuring ample bandwidth for typical office applications and user traffic. Complementing the abundant copper ports, the C364T-PWR includes two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) slots. These slots are designed to accept mini-GBIC transceivers, offering flexibility for network expansion and high-speed uplinks. Users can deploy fiber optic modules for longer-distance connections or specialized network requirements, enhancing the switch's adaptability to various network topologies and infrastructure needs. The 'PWR' designation in the model name strongly suggests Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, allowing the switch to simultaneously provide network connectivity and electrical power to compatible devices like IP cameras and wireless access points, thereby simplifying deployment and reducing cabling complexity. As a Layer 2 switch, the Avaya C364T-PWR operates at the data link layer of the OSI model, managing traffic flow based on MAC addresses. It is designed for efficient packet forwarding within a LAN segment, supporting features crucial for network performance and manageability. While specific details on advanced features like Quality of Service (QoS), advanced security protocols, or Layer 3 routing capabilities are not explicitly detailed in the title, its enterprise-grade design implies robust performance and reliability for workgroup and departmental network aggregation. The switch is typically housed in a rack-mountable chassis, facilitating integration into standard network closets and data centers.
