GEL-5271 52-Port L2 Plus Managed Gigabit Switch, 48 x 1GbE RJ45, 2 x 1GbE SFP, 2 x 1/2.5GbE SFP Uplink Slots

The LevelOne GEL-5271 is a 52-port L2 Plus managed Gigabit switch designed for enterprise networks, campus backbones and large workgroups that need reliable, high-density copper and fiber connectivity. It provides 48 x 1GbE RJ45 access ports for desktops and edge devices, plus 2 x 1GbE SFP and 2 x 1/2.5GbE SFP uplink slots for flexible aggregation over short- or long-distance fiber links.

Featuring a non-blocking, wire-speed switching fabric, the GEL-5271 delivers consistent Gigabit performance for VoIP, IP surveillance and high-volume data applications. Advanced L2+ functions include rich VLAN options (port-, MAC-, protocol-, private VLAN, Q-in-Q), IEEE 802.1D/w/s Spanning Tree for loop protection, IEEE 802.3ad LACP link aggregation, IGMP Snooping for efficient multicast streaming, and granular QoS for traffic prioritization.

For management, the switch offers an intuitive web GUI along with console, Telnet and SNMP access, and supports both IPv4 and IPv6 operation. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) and storm control help reduce power consumption and protect the network from broadcast and multicast storms. The GEL-5271 is an ideal core or distribution switch for organizations seeking an affordable, feature-rich and scalable layer-2+ solution.
