Pakedge Refreshes SE Switches

  • PDF

Pakedge Device & Software announces a pair of switch offerings-- the SE-8P and SE-8P4, two plug-and-play SE series switches designed for use with more simple networks with no need for advanced bandwidth management.

Pakedge SE switchThe two switches replace the earlier S8Pe and S8P4e, which currently are at the end of their lives. They can automatically discover connected devices before integrating them into the network, a task Pakedge takes just "seconds."

The SE-8P is an 8 port gigabit ethernet switch able to handle either 8 ports of PoE or 4 ports of PoE+. The SE-8P4 is similar, but handles either 4 ports of PoE or 2 ports of PoE+.

Further features include rear-facing ports and a "more unified and polished look."

The switches are unmanaged, but can be added to larger managed networks to quickly connect multiple access points, media devices and other clients to the same VLAN.

Pakedge says the SE series is the first to receive such a revamp, and will launch managed switches from the top-tier SX and SK series from early Q2 2015.
