Cisco WS-C3750X-48PF-S Network Switch

One of the important hardware for setting up a computer network is a switch. The switch has the task of communicating between the devices in the network and also sends and receives the information packets (data) between these devices. In fact, the switch can be considered as an interface between the devices in the network. Among the brands of switch manufacturers, Cisco switches are the most powerful and best-selling products because they have the highest lifespan and security. Cisco’s various series include 3850, 2960, 3750, etc., and the switch we are reviewing is from the 3750X series.

A closer look at Cisco WS-C3750X-48PF-S 

As we said at the beginning of the article, the 48PFS switch has two golden features: PoE and stack, which we will briefly explain the use of these two features of this switch:

• PoE capability or Power over Ethernet: If you have an IP phone or network camera in your network and the switch is normal, you will have to connect these devices to the power separately. connect The PoE feature gives you the ability to supply power to your device (IP-Phone or camera) through the Ethernet port. The Cisco WS-C3750X-48PF-S switch has 48 ports of all PoE type.
• Stack capability: In short, stacking switches means connecting several switches to each other through a special cable and turning them into a single switch. That is, if you have 8 switches in your network and all of them have stack capability like the Cisco 3750X 48PFS switch. You can connect them to each other through a cable and have a single big switch and manage and configure the same switch.
