  • Plug-and-play deployment requires zero configuration or management
  • 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports plus 2 SFP uplinks for flexible connectivity
  • Fan-less design enables silent operation in office spaces
  • Energy Efficient Ethernet IEEE 802.3az reduces power use during idle periods

Ideal for small offices needing silent

This 26-port unmanaged Gigabit switch suits small businesses and home offices that want simple, reliable wired connectivity without any configuration. Its fan-less design runs silently in open workspaces, and the two SFP uplinks let you span longer distances to other switches or servers. Quality of Service prioritises voice and video traffic automatically. Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces power draw during idle periods.

Not for buyers who need VLANs.

Organisations requiring traffic segmentation, port-level security policies or SNMP monitoring should choose a managed model. The switch cannot power wireless access points, IP phones or cameras because it has no PoE budget. Installations that depend on CLI, web GUI or cloud-based configuration will find no such interface here.

The deciding spec: 24 RJ45 ports plus 2 SFP uplinks

With twenty-four copper ports at 10/100/1000 Mbps and two Gigabit SFP slots, the 1430 model connects up to twenty-four desktop devices while linking to the core network over fibre. The fixed port count and lack of PoE define whether this unit matches the cabling plan and power requirements of the site.

Questions about this item

Does the 26-port 1430 switch come with SFP modules or must they be purchased separately?

The unit includes 24 RJ45 ports and two empty SFP cages; SFP transceivers are not supplied and must be bought separately to use the fibre uplinks.

When should I choose the 26-port model over the smaller 1430 variants?

Select the 26-port version when you need 24 copper connections plus two SFP fibre uplinks; smaller models offer 5, 8, 16 or 24 ports without SFP cages.

What does the 16.4 W maximum power draw mean for daily operation?

The switch will not exceed 16.4 W under full load and idles at 8 W, so it adds minimal heat and cost in a typical office or wiring closet.
