The Cisco EtherSwitch NM-16ESW-PWR= is a highly versatile Managed switch designed to provide reliable communication across 16 Ethernet ports. This plug-in module is compatible with certain Cisco router models, allowing it to enhance network performance with the integration of routing and switching capabilities in a single platform. Specifically, it offers users a streamlined method of leveraging both routing and switching functionalities in an integrated manner.
Each of the switch’s 16 ports supports Fast Ethernet functionality, which offers transmission speeds of up to 100 Mbps. This makes the module suitable for networks that require moderate to high-speed connectivity for various devices, including computers, printers, and wireless access points. Additionally, its plug-in module form factor enables easy installation into compatible Cisco router slots, reducing the need for additional space or separate hardware.
One of the standout features of this model is its Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing users to power compatible devices such as IP phones and wireless access points directly through the switch ports. By integrating both power and data transmission over the same cabling, it simplifies the network setup and reduces infrastructure costs, while adhering to the IEEE 802.3af standard for PoE.
The Cisco EtherSwitch NM-16ESW-PWR= includes advanced Layer 2 management functionalities, providing users with enhanced capabilities such as VLAN support, STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), and QoS (Quality of Service), which are essential for optimizing network traffic and ensuring the consistent performance of critical applications.
In summary, this Cisco module is an ideal choice for businesses looking to expand their network capabilities through a managed switch that supports PoE, reliable Layer 2 features, and integrates into an existing Cisco router environment with ease.
