AD Net 8 Port Full Giga With 2 SFP Ports 1000 Mbps Network Switch (ADP-PS-1512)

The AD-net ADP-PS-1512 is a high-performance, 10-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for enterprise, small business, and industrial-edge networking. This switch provides a hybrid connectivity solution by combining standard copper ports for local devices with SFP slots for long-distance fiber optic uplinks.

Key Features & Description

1. High-Speed Connectivity

The switch features a “Full Giga” architecture, meaning every port is capable of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) speeds.

• 10 RJ-45 Ports: Supports 10/100/1000Base-TX auto-negotiation, making it compatible with legacy hardware while providing maximum speed for modern devices like servers, PCs, and IP cameras.

• 2 SFP Ports: These Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) slots are designed for fiber optic transceivers. They allow you to extend your network far beyond the 100-meter limit of standard Ethernet cables.

• 2. Plug-and-Play Simplicity

As an unmanaged switch (typical for the ADP-PS-1512 series), it requires no complex configuration. You can simply plug in your devices, and the switch automatically handles address learning and traffic forwarding.

3. Industrial-Grade Reliability

The “PS” in the model name often refers to its power-optimized design.

• Rugged Design: Built to operate in varied environments, often featuring a metal casing for better heat dissipation.

• Fanless Operation: Many versions of this 8-port model are fanless, ensuring silent operation and reducing the risk of mechanical failure in dusty environments.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Use Cases

• CCTV Surveillance: Connecting multiple IP cameras with a high-speed fiber uplink to a central NVR.

• SMB Office: Serving as a desktop or rack-mounted switch for a small team needing gigabit speeds for large file transfers.

• Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH): Acting as a distribution point in residential buildings where the incoming signal is fiber-based.
