Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Connect Gates recommends the D-Link DGS-1210-28 for business and CCTV projects that require a reliable 24-port Gigabit smart managed switch with flexible fiber uplink options.
• It is ideal for offices, schools, factories, surveillance systems, distribution racks, and SMB networks that need VLAN, QoS, static routing, security, and centralized management without moving to a full enterprise Layer 3 switch.
• The 24 Gigabit ports, 4 combo ports, 56Gbps switching capacity, Auto Surveillance VLAN, Auto Voice VLAN, ACL, Smart Binding, and fanless 0dB operation make it suitable for professional access layer installations.
• For best performance, Connect Gates recommends using suitable SFP modules according to fiber distance and keeping the combo ports reserved for uplinks or inter-cabinet fiber connections.
