Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi-gig edge switch and why do I need one?
A multi-gig edge switch like the 5320 provides high-speed connectivity at the network edge while supporting legacy 1G devices and modern multi-gigabit endpoints. It's essential for enterprises deploying IoT sensors, wireless access points, and IP cameras that require both power (PoE+) and bandwidth without requiring a complete network overhaul.
Can the 5320-16P-2MXT-2X handle PoE+ powered devices?
Yes. The 5320 delivers 30W PoE+ power per port across all 16 copper ports, supporting power-hungry devices like enterprise-grade IP cameras, wireless access points, and industrial IoT equipment without requiring separate power injectors.
What uplink options does this managed switch provide?
The 5320-16P-2MXT-2X includes 2 multi-gigabit 10GBase-T copper uplink ports and 2 1G/10G SFP+ fiber uplink ports, giving you flexible options for backbone connectivity—whether you're using existing copper infrastructure or deploying fiber for higher-speed, longer-distance connections.
Is the 5320 stackable for larger deployments?
Yes. The 5320 Series features stackable architecture, allowing multiple units to be managed as a single logical switch, simplifying administration and scaling your edge network without adding management complexity.
