GWN7710R 6-Port Outdoor L2 Lite Managed Switch

The GWN7710R is a specialized, outdoor-rated Layer 2 Lite managed switch designed for demanding environments. Essentially, this device stands out due to its rugged IP66-rated waterproof and dustproof casing, which allows it to operate reliably in harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C. It is, therefore, a crucial component for building resilient networks in outdoor locations such as parks, campuses, and public areas.

Furthermore, a key feature of the GWN7710R is its flexible and powerful Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. In addition to offering five Gigabit RJ45 ports, it can be powered by PoE itself (PoE input on one port) and, at the same time, provide PoE output on four other ports to power connected devices.

However, despite its rugged exterior, the GWN7710R provides a comprehensive set of management features. By the same token, it supports advanced QoS, VLANs, and storm control, which allow for intelligent traffic segmentation and prioritization. For instance, these features enable administrators to ensure that critical applications, such as video surveillance, receive the necessary bandwidth.
