Non-contractual photos

The visuals on this page are supplied by the manufacturer. They are frequently produced for a whole range — not for the exact model you are viewing: what you see in the photo is never a promise of what is included.

No exchange, return or cancellation will be accepted on the grounds that something seen in a photo (accessory, port, colour, keyboard layout, packaging…) is not found on the delivered product. Only the specifications written on the page are binding for the order.

What the image does not guarantee:

  • Ports : the number and type of ports (RJ45, SFP, PoE) differ between models of a single series, which nevertheless shares one photo.
  • Antennas : their number, gain and whether they can be removed depend on the reference.
  • Modules and cables : SFP modules, transceivers, DAC cables, PoE injectors and rack-mounting kits are not included unless stated.
  • Power : some equipment is powered over PoE and shipped without a power adapter.
  • Colour : one image often serves several colours, and the shade you see depends on studio lighting as much as on your screen settings; the colour sold is the one in the title and the specifications.
  • Props and accessories : the items shown around the product (cables, stands, decorative objects, content displayed on screen) are not included unless explicitly stated.
  • Packaging : boxes, labels and bundles change with the manufacturer's revisions: the packaging delivered may differ from the one in the photo.

What is binding: the product title, this page's technical specifications, the description and, when provided, the manufacturer's PDF datasheet available in the downloads.

Frequently asked questions about this product

How is the 370 W of PoE+ shared across 48 ports?
370 W shared by all 48 ports in Class 4, up to 30 W each. The budget fills up quickly: around thirty 12 W cameras use almost all of it. Add up the actual consumption of your devices before cabling.
What speed do the 4 uplinks reach?
They are 1G/10G SFP+ slots: you start with a Gigabit fibre module, then move to 10 Gigabit without changing switches. Essential when 48 access ports feed into the same network core.
How many VLANs can be created, and in what range?
256 simultaneous VLANs, with IDs taken between 2 and 4093: the range is wide, but the number of active networks is capped at 256. A dedicated management VLAN protects access to the interface.
How many link aggregation groups does this 48-port model accept?
Sixteen, of up to eight ports each, using LACP or manual configuration — twice as many as the 24-port models. Enough to spread the load of several servers and secure the uplink.
Can this switch let two VLANs communicate?
Yes, through static IPv4 routing: each VLAN gets its own address, manually or via DHCP, and the switch forwards traffic from one to the other, within a limit of 32 static entries. That is the hallmark of Layer 2+.
Can PoE power be scheduled by time of day?
Yes: PoE scheduling sets the day and time at which each port powers the connected device. Power allocation follows LLDP-MED, the PoE class or actual consumption, and the critical priority level is reserved for Instant On access points.
Is a licence needed to manage this switch?
No: all features are included in the price of the hardware, with no licence or subscription. Management is done from the Instant On mobile app, the hosted web portal or the local web interface, with no Internet access required.
What internal performance does this high-density model offer?
176 Gbps of switching capacity and 130.95 Mpps, with a 16,000-address MAC table. The sizing covers the 48 Gigabit ports and the 4 10 Gigabit links simultaneously, at peak times.
Is the switch new, and where can I view its documentation?
Yes, new equipment, with the invoice serving as the warranty document. The manufacturer's document details the Instant On 1930 series and compares its seven models, PoE and non-PoE: datasheet (PDF).
