Networking Switches

Robust and Highly Available System Design
ZyXEL ES-3148 is a high-density L2+ managed switch with 48 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports, two GbE copper ports and two dual-personality SFP/copper GbE interface. Coupled with the advanced ASIC hardware and switching capacity of 17Gbps, the ES-3148 is an ideal platform to power premium triple-play applications. What makes the ES-3148 unique is its robust and highly available system design. The support of 802.3ad Link aggregation reduces network downtime by providing more packet paths and bandwidth aggregation to critical paths. In case a link is down, IEEE 802.1w RSTP allows the ES-3148 to quickly recover from failed links and send packets through a backup link. The 4G uplink not only gives superb transmission bandwidth, but also allows you to set up Gigabit aggregation. In addition, BPS is also available for feeding in extra DC back-up power to prepare for any unexpected power failure. All these great features and more in the ES-3148 give you the network performance you need with minimum downtime.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support
ZyXEL ES-3124PWR, an intelligent L2+ managed Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch designed for enterprises and campuses need to deploy powered networking devices on remote locations. The ES-3124PWR conforms to IEEE 802.3af standard supporting all the different kinds of PoE network infrastructures in the corporate. The PoE technology adopted by ES-3124PWR allows enterprises to transmit both data and electrical power to remote powered devices, such as IP camera, IP phone, and wireless AP or routers through existing CAT-5 UTP cabling. This provides several advantages like single cabling, centralized remote power monitoring, as well as plug-and-play convenience and flexibility. These advantages will result in to lower deployment cost, higher management efficiency, and future reconfiguration flexibility.

Easy ETTx Deployments
ZyXEL's ES-3124F is a series of carrier-class L2+ managed access switches. With robust performance in network resiliency, QoS, IP multicasting and security, the ES-3124F is the ideal solution for cable, utilities or municipality operators and service providers to adopt in Active Ethernet ETTx deployments. ES-3124F supports 4 GbE SFP slots for establishing fiber rings to offer better network resiliency, while ES-3124F has 24 100BASE-X SFP open slots for superior fiber aggregation capability. ES-3124F can be combined with ES-2108-F to form an end-to-end fiber access solution. All above models support the latest single fiber transceiver (BX type) for better system flexibility and easier fiber installation.

Availability and Extensibility
With twenty-four 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports, two GbE copper ports and two shared SFP / copper GbE interface, ZyXEL ES-3124 boasts a high performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 12.8Gbps. Its four built-in GbE uplink ports also offer incredible extensibility, flexibility and connectivity to the Core switch or Servers. Featuring "Backup Power System Support" design for even higher availability, ZyXEL ES-3124 adds a built-in DC power receptacle on its rear panel for external Backup Power System connection; and the system can switch to the alternative power source automatically in response to different situations.
