12-port Fast Ethernet switch with PoE

The Nortel Networks 50FE-12T is a desktop switch that delivers 12 Fast Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet support. It provides web-managed Layer 2 functionality for straightforward setup and ongoing administration. The unit suits small businesses with up to 50 network users who need a simple converged networking solution. It can also be wall-mounted or rack-mounted for flexible deployment.

Who this suits and who it does not

This switch fits offices that need to power IP phones, wireless access points or cameras through the network cable without separate injectors. It also matches teams that prefer browser-based management rather than a command-line interface. Buyers who require Gigabit uplink speeds or more than 12 powered ports should consider other options. Environments that need Layer 3 routing or advanced security features will not find them here.

10/100Base-TX port speed

Every port on the 50FE-12T operates at 10/100Base-TX, so the maximum throughput per connection is 100 Mbps. This speed ceiling determines whether the switch can handle the bandwidth demands of your devices and applications. If your workflow depends on faster link rates, this model will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

The built-in web interface provides Layer 2 configuration such as VLANs, port mirroring and QoS without requiring a separate management appliance.
