⚙️ Key Features

• Intelligent Power Management: The switch can be powered using reverse power from any of the seven downlink ports, eliminating the need for a separate power source.
• Auto-Negotiation: Each port automatically detects the connected device’s speed (10/100/1000Mbps) and mode (half/full duplex), ensuring optimal performance.
• Non-Blocking Wire Speed: Ensures seamless forwarding and receiving of traffic without bottlenecks.
• Port-Based Isolation: Downlink ports are isolated from each other, preventing direct communication between clients and enhancing security.
• Surge Protection: Each port is equipped with surge protection to safeguard against voltage spikes.
• Cascading Capability: Supports cascading with other switches, allowing for expanded network coverage.
