Intellinet 561044 24-port Gigabit Rackmount Switch 2 Sfp

Product Description

The INTELLINET 561044 is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet rackmount switch designed for structured network installations in commercial and light industrial environments. It provides 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports that automatically negotiate optimal link speeds, eliminating the need for manual configuration on mixed-speed networks. Two dedicated SFP (small form-factor pluggable) GBIC module slots extend connectivity over fiber for longer cable runs. These SFP slots are independent uplink ports, not shared combo-ports, bringing total switching bandwidth to 52 Gbps. Network technicians and IT infrastructure installers are the primary audience for this unit.

The 561044 is suited for server rooms, wiring closets, and data distribution points where rackmount form factor is required. The 24 RJ45 Gigabit ports support a wide range of end devices including workstations, servers, VoIP phones, and access points. The two SFP uplink slots allow fiber backbone connections between IDF and MDF cabinets or across building segments where copper runs would exceed standard distance limitations. This makes the unit a practical choice for multi-floor or multi-building LAN deployments requiring high-density port counts in a compact 1U or 2U rack footprint.

Key Features

• 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports with automatic speed negotiation
• 2 dedicated SFP GBIC module slots for fiber uplink connectivity over extended distances
• Total switching bandwidth of 52 Gbps across all ports
• Rackmount form factor for installation in standard equipment racks and enclosures
• Non-shared SFP ports operate independently from the 24 copper Gigabit ports

Compatibility

Designed as a standard unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch compatible with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab network environments. SFP slots accept standard GBIC modules for fiber uplink connectivity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed network technician or structured cabling professional. Power down the switch before connecting or removing SFP modules to avoid damage to the module or port circuitry. Rack mounting should follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and comply with applicable electrical codes for grounding and circuit loading. Verify fiber module compatibility and polarity before committing fiber runs to the SFP uplink slots.
