Robust System Design Fits Any Network
To cope with diverse requirements of branch offices or SME businesses, the ZyXEL GS1500-24P Switch comes with 24 Gigabit PoE copper ports plus 4 dual-personality (RJ-45/SFP) Gigabit ports to provide a 52Gbps non-blocking connection for branches or SME networks. This flexible multi-function design fits into any network easily.

Smart Interface for Easy Configuration and Management
The ZyXEL GS1500-24P Switch provides stress-free operation for branch offices or SME networks. Through the Web-based interface, switch configurations such as 802.1Q VLAN, 802.1p traffic priority and static port aggregation can be implemented locally or remotely for easy administration; even people who are not IT experts can setup and configure the switch with just a few mouse clicks. The versatility and easy operation can really help enterprises to manage their networks easily.

Freedom of Installation by Power over Ethernet
The ZyXEL GS1500-24P supports IEEE802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) to ease installation in challenging spaces such as ceiling or wall mounting. It works with devices such as WLAN AP, VoIP phones and IP surveillance cameras that can be powered by Ethernet connectivity over CAT-5 cables less than 100 meters in length; so there is no need for extra power adapters, and powering the devices installed on the ceiling is no longer a headache. This feature helps enterprises to reduce installation time and cost when many new devices are needed.

Intelligent PoE for Cost Savings
ZyXEL's Intelligent PoE feature provides two power supply modes:

• Classification Mode – the switch reserves the maximum power (mW) to each powered device (PD) according to the priority levels.
• Consumption Mode - the switch manages the total power supply, so each connected PD gets the actual power it needs. PDs of higher priorities also get more power than those of lower priorities.

In the Consumption Mode, ZyXEL's Intelligent PoE provides actual amount of power PDs need. When power consumption of an attached device is detected, ZyXEL's Intelligent PoE will reserve the required power automatically. In addition, you can set power feeding priorities on different ports to get the best use of power resource. This capability can increase the number of devices connected and deliver a better ROI for the business.
