The API 510-SW-1 is a Layer 2+ managed industrial Ethernet switch engineered for deployment in demanding commercial and light industrial environments. It combines Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with optional high-speed SFP/SFP+ uplinks, supporting virtual stacking for centralized management across multiple units. The switch incorporates advanced networking protocols including RSTP, MSTP, ERPS, and IGMP functionality to ensure network redundancy and efficient traffic handling.
## Technical Specifications
**Ethernet Interfaces:**
• Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports available in configurations of 4, 8, 16, 24, or 48 ports
• SFP ports supporting 100 Mb and 1 Gb speeds in multiple quantities
• SFP+ ports supporting 100 Mb, 1 Gb, 2.5 Gb, or 10 Gb speeds, typically 4 ports for high-speed uplinks
**Power Delivery:**
• Optional IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE+ at 30 W available on select models
## Key Features
• Virtual stacking capability enabling single web GUI control across geographically distributed units
• Layer 2+ managed switching with advanced protocol support
• Redundancy protocols: RSTP, MSTP, ERPS
• IGMP support for multicast traffic management
• Rack or desktop mounting configurations
• Mixed port options combining RJ45, SFP, and SFP+ interfaces
## Typical Applications
The API 510-SW-1 serves industrial networking deployments requiring high availability and flexible connectivity options. Multi-rate SFP+ ports accommodate legacy 1 Gb infrastructure alongside modern 10 Gb uplinks. PoE+ capability enables powered device integration without separate power infrastructure. Stacking functionality simplifies management in distributed industrial facilities.
## Compatibility & Integration
Supports standard Ethernet protocols and industrial network topologies. Virtual stacking allows integration of multiple switches into a single logical management domain. IEEE 802.3at PoE+ compliance enables connection to compliant powered devices.
