SLM2024PT-EU

The Cisco SLM2024PT-EU is a 26-port managed Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small businesses by Cisco Systems. It combines reliable switching capabilities with basic network management features, making it suitable for expanding and managing wired networks in growing businesses. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

Model: SLM2024PT-EU

• Cisco: Identifies the manufacturer as Cisco Systems, a reputable brand in networking equipment.
• SLM2024PT:
  • SLM: Likely signifies Cisco's Small Business Line of networking products.
  • 2024: Indicates it has 24 ports for connecting devices to your network.
  • PT: Possibly stands for "Power over Ethernet," signifying it supports PoE functionality.
• EU: This suffix likely indicates the switch is manufactured for the European market or has an EU-specific power supply.

Key Features (refer to product specifications for confirmation):

• 24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Provides 24 RJ45 ports that support speeds of up to 1Gbps (Gigabit per second). This is significantly faster than Fast Ethernet switches, making it ideal for applications that require high bandwidth, such as video conferencing, large file transfers, and network backups.
• Managed Switch (Basic): Offers basic configuration options compared to more advanced managed switches. This might include features like VLANs for network segmentation (separating traffic) and Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize critical applications.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): Can deliver power over the same Ethernet cable used for data transmission (likely PoE+ standard supporting up to 30 Watts). This is particularly useful for powering devices like VoIP phones or IP security cameras that don't have a local power outlet.
• Automatic Speed and Duplex Negotiation: The switch can automatically detect the speed (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1Gbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of connected devices, ensuring optimal performance.
• Compact Design (possible): While the exact size depends on the model variation, Cisco's Small Business Line switches are generally designed for desktop or shelf placement.
