PLANET 8-Port 10/100/1000T + 2-Port 100/1000X SFP

The PLANET GS-4210-8T2S is a high-performance 8-Port Managed Gigabit Switch with two additional SFP fiber interfaces, tailored for edge and backbone deployments in business networks. With fanless, silent operation and 20 Gbps switch fabric, it is an excellent choice for SOHOs and SMBs looking to expand or optimize their network performance and security.

It delivers robust L2/L4 features including VLANs, ERPS, link aggregation, IGMP snooping, and advanced QoS. Equipped with strong cybersecurity protocols like 802.1x authentication, ACLs, and SNMPv3, it ensures reliable and secure data transmission, especially across fiber optic uplinks with integrated SFP diagnostics.
