perfect for those cold winter nights!
Not PoE+ so no autonegotiation. I’ll never fuck with passive poe switches again it is such a headache.
Do you really need 48 ports? That things gonna consume a lot of power even while idle.
What is the autonegociation you’re talking about here ? I never owned a POE switch, I, of course, don’t need all the port, it was the cheapest POE switch I could find near me, everything else is like 250€ or more, or 150 for unmanagable. It won’t be ON often for the moment, I just wanted a POE switch to have fun with wifi AP and in the futur IP cameras!
Autonegotiation allows two devices, such as switches or network interface cards, to automatically exchange information about their capabilities and configure the best possible connection settings, like speed and duplex mode. This enables devices to establish a link with optimal settings for both. Without it, this needs to be done manually
That switch does it with CDP.
Auto negotiation is not an L2 process. It is a physical layer process that is performed before a CDP or LLDP packet can be transmitted.
He’s not talking about speed/duplex auto negotiation. He’s talking about automatic power negotiation.
Pretty sure it also supports lldp
I wrote a big thing about what I meant but this switch seems to have 802.11af so I may be wrong. Instead here’s a couple links to explain PoE better than I can

In this case the 3750G is a standards based PSE using 802.3af. It should not have any issues powering modern network equipment up to 15.4W
That’s awesome! A great switch to use for a home lab and learn IOS.
Yes!! I have many switches! I see this is a Cisco, so you will learn how to run a managed network using Cisco CL. Making that work with the TPLink will be fun and educational. Pretty nice!
I’d say rip your ears but the G series is far quieter then the E series.
It is pretty quiet yeah, but not fanless I might try to mod it with some small noctua fans, won’t be optimal but it won’t run at 100% all the time, I’ll put the noisy blower back if one day I buy a enclosed rack
What’s a switch for so I can feel slightly more justified when i buy one?
OP can now connect 48 Ethernet devices. So like your desktop, and uh, a sip phone, and, uhhh the other 46 things on your desk that don’t have wifi.
Now you can transfer files between computers without the need for an external storage device.
Get two of them and a stack cable and you can have a 96 port switch.
