The Cisco Catalyst 2950ST-8-LRE is a highly reliable, managed switch designed for desktop deployment in small to medium-sized businesses or branch offices. This switch provides 8 Fast Ethernet ports alongside an additional Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) module slot, offering flexibility and expansion options for enhanced network connectivity.
One of the prominent features of the device is its capability to support Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE), enabling data transmission over greater distances using existing copper wiring. This feature reduces the need for additional infrastructure investment, making it a cost-effective solution for environments requiring extended connectivity.
Thanks to its managed capabilities, IT administrators can monitor, configure, and manage the switch to optimise network performance easily. The switch allows for virtual LAN (VLAN) support, providing the ability to split network traffic into different segments, improving security and traffic management within the network. It also includes support for Quality of Service (QoS), which prioritises traffic based on application needs, ensuring a smoother performance for critical tasks.
The Cisco Catalyst 2950ST-8-LRE is a desktop unit, though it is also suitable for wall mounting. Its compact size and quiet operation make it well-suited for environments where space is at a premium, allowing for a clean and efficient setup.
