Barcelona, 21st October. SMC Networks (www.smc.com), a leading provider of LAN hardware and broadband connectivity devices, today announced the launch of the new SMC6152PL2 TigerSwitch™ 10/100– a feature rich, Managed Fast Ethernet switch that includes 802.3af Power over Ethernet on all 48 Fast Ethernet ports, IP clustering and an extra 4 Gigabit ports.

Key features and benefits:

High density Power over Ethernet – enables easier deployment of multiple new IP devices such as IP phones, wireless access points and IP surveillance cameras where the availability of power sockets is limited.

IP clustering – simplifies the management of the network by allowing up to 32 switches, located across the network or in multiple wiring closets, to be grouped together into a single logical collection of switches – with a single point of authentication and management.

Gigabit throughput – reliability and resilience is assured with two additional Gigabit copper ports and 2 Gigabit combo ports (RJ-45/SFP), providing enhanced uplink capabilities for greater throughput.

The SMC6152PL2 also boasts advanced Quality of Service features that can reduce the latency of packets through the network, with specific traffic prioritization improving the delivery of converged data such as voice and high quality video over IP.

Frank Emmerlich, Product Marketing Manager Europe and Africa at SMC Networks, commented: “The new Managed TigerSwitch™ SMC6152PL2 makes it simple for companies to add significant numbers of new IP devices to the network, manage multiple switches in different locations and balance network capacity. The high port density Power over Ethernet capability makes it the ideal solution for small to medium sized businesses that need flexibility combined with robust, reliable performance."
