Description
The Nortel 4550T is a robust Layer 2 managed Fast Ethernet switch designed to provide high-density port density and Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities for enterprise networks. It features 48 x 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports that support IEEE 802.3af PoE, allowing it to power connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. This simplifies network infrastructure by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable, reducing installation complexity and costs. For network expansion and high-speed connectivity, the 4550T includes two combo ports that can function as either Gigabit copper (10/100/1000Mbps) or 1000Mbps SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports. This flexibility allows for seamless integration with higher-speed network backbones or connections over longer distances using fiber optic modules, making it suitable for various deployment scenarios at the network edge. As a Layer 2 managed switch, the 4550T offers essential network management features including support for VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) for network segmentation, QoS (Quality of Service) for traffic prioritization, and link aggregation. With a switching capacity of 10.4 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 7.7 Mpps, it is designed to handle the traffic demands of converged networks, providing reliable performance for voice, video, and data applications in enterprise environments.
