ECS4100-12PH
L2+/L3 Lite UPoE Gigabit Ethernet Access Switch

Product Overview
The Edgecore ECS4100-12PH switch is an 8-port PoE Gigabit Ethernet access switch with 2 combo and 2 FE/1G uplink SFP ports.
The switch is ideal for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Multiple System Operators (MSOs) to provide home users with
triple-play services and up to a Gigabit of bandwidth. The PoE function can be used to connect to WiFi APs for a hotspot service, or
to connect to IP surveillance devices. It is also an ideal Gigabit access switch for SMB, enterprise, and campus networks connect
to IP phones, WiFi APs, and IP surveillance cameras. The ECS4100-12PH switch is packed with features that bring high availability,
comprehensive security, robust multicast control, and advanced QoS to the network edge, while maintaining simple management.
The switch also supports the most advanced IPv6 management, IPv6 security, and IPv6 multicast control in accordance with the
growth of IPv6 deployment. ISPs can expand their services for home to business users by providing a more reliable and resilient
network (ITU-T G.8032 ERPS), L2 VPNs, and advanced OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) functions to ensure
service-level agreements. This is the first Edgecore PoE switch that supports up to 60 W Ultra PoE IEEE 802.3bt.
