Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
T2600G-28TS and T2600G-52TS are Gigabit Ethernet switching products recently
developed by TP-LINK. T2600G-28TS possesses 24 RJ45 ports and 4 SFP slots, while
T2600G-52TS characterizes with 48 RJ45 ports and 4 SFP slots. The SFP slot enables
remote connection with SFP slots on other devices through SFP module and fiber.
T2600G-28TS/T2600G-52TS is compatible with all kinds of gigabit SFP modules. Here
you are recommended to choose gigabit SFP module produced by TP-LINK, which can
perfectly extend your network and enlarge the bandwidth. T2600G-28TS/T2600G-52TS
is your first choice to extend the originally large and medium-sized network.
Designed for workgroups and departments, T2600G-28TS/T2600G-52TS from TP-LINK
provides wire-speed performance and full set of L2 management features. It provides a
variety of service features and multiple powerful functions with high security.
The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible
solutions for a variable scale of networks. ACL, 802.1x and Dynamic ARP Inspection
provide robust security strategies. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and
video application. Link aggregation (LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing
the transport of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB and CLI Log-in bring
abundant management policies. TP-LINK JetStream L2 Managed Switch integrates
multiple functions with excellent performance, and is friendly to manage, which can
fully meet the need of the users demanding higher networking performance.
