Black Box Corporation LGB2118A-R2 Web Smart Eco Fanless Gigabit Ethernet Switch - 18 Ports with Fiber SFP Support

Black Box Gigabit Ethernet Switch - Web Smart Eco Fanless, 18-Port

The Black Box Corporation LGB2118A-R2 is a versatile and environmentally friendly network switch designed to enhance your office infrastructure. Featuring 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 SFP ports, this rack-mountable switch provides high-speed connectivity options for both copper and fiber networks, allowing you to seamlessly integrate fiber optic links for longer-distance communication. Its fanless design ensures silent operation and fewer moving parts, reducing maintenance needs and increasing reliability in your network environment. Supporting IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, this switch actively minimizes power consumption by turning off unused ports, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious organizations looking to reduce energy costs without sacrificing performance. The switch's web-based management interface simplifies configuration, monitoring, and control, enabling network administrators to efficiently manage traffic, security settings, and device performance from any web browser. Compatibility with SNMP V1/V2c further enhances manageability within larger network setups, providing comprehensive oversight and troubleshooting capabilities. The switch supports advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing real-time applications like VoIP, port mirroring for error diagnostics, and VLAN support for traffic segmentation and improved security. The inclusion of port autosense and autonegotiation for speed and duplex ensures optimal link performance, while the support for link aggregation (multilink trunking) allows for increased bandwidth between switches and high-volume data transfer. The SFP ports accommodate optional transceivers (sold separately), enabling flexible fiber optic connections for short, medium, or long distances, depending on your network needs. With its compliance to environmental standards including WEEE and TAA, the switch is suitable for enterprise environments requiring reliable, eco-friendly hardware. The package includes the switch, power cord, rubber feet, rackmount hardware, and a quick installation guide, all backed by a one-year warranty for peace of mind.
