The switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring network connections. The switch can be used as an
aggregation switch in a larger network or as a backbone switch in a small office or home office network to support
10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps Ethernet and fiber routers, switches, and hubs and to support 10G high-speed
devices and uplinks over fiber or copper.You can connect PoE and PoE+ devices (model GC728XP or model
GC752XP) and non-PoE devices (model GC728X, GC728XP, GC752X, or GC752XP) directly to the switch.
