Switch Ethernet Gigabit L2 Gerido Cudy GS2008S2 com 8 portas RJ-45 10/100/1000 e 2 SFP, montagem em rack 1U, Preto

Cudy GS2008S2 is a managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch that provides eight RJ-45 Gigabit ports (10/100/1000) and two preinstalled SFP fiber ports in a 1U rackmount metal enclosure. Built to support small and medium business networks, the switch delivers a 56 Gbit/s switching capacity, an 8,000-entry MAC table and an RJ-45 console port for configuration. It complies with industry networking standards such as IEEE 802.1Qav, IEEE 802.11k and IEEE 802.11j and is finished in black to match standard rack equipment.

Advantages

The Cudy GS2008S2 offers managed L2 features in a compact 1U rack form factor, combining eight Gigabit RJ-45 ports with two SFP fiber uplinks for mixed copper and fiber topologies. With a switching capacity of 56 Gbit/s and an 8,000 MAC address table, it supports traffic aggregation and LAN segmentation while the console port enables local management and configuration. Compliance with relevant IEEE standards helps with interoperability in multi-vendor deployments.

Suitable for

• Small to medium business access layer and aggregation layer switching
• Edge deployments requiring both copper Gigabit and fiber uplinks
• Rack-mounted network closets and server room installations
• Networks needing basic managed Layer 2 features and QoS awareness

When it may not be suitable

The GS2008S2 is designed as a Layer 2 managed switch and is not intended to replace advanced Layer 3 routed core switches; environments requiring extensive routing, firewalling or advanced WAN features should use a router or a Layer 3 device. Also, if a larger MAC table, higher backplane throughput or Power over Ethernet (PoE) are required, this model may not meet those specific needs.

Key specifications

• Port configuration: 8 × RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) and 2 × SFP fiber ports
• Switching capacity: 56 Gbit/s
• MAC address table size: 8,000 entries
• Management: Managed Layer 2 features with RJ-45 console port
• Standards: IEEE 802.1Qav, IEEE 802.11k, IEEE 802.11j
• Form factor: 1U rackmount
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 1.01 kg

How to use

Mount the Cudy GS2008S2 in a standard 19-inch rack using the included 1U mounting hardware. Connect network devices to the RJ-45 Gigabit ports for copper connectivity and use the SFP ports for fiber uplinks to aggregation switches or media converters. Access the switch management interface via the RJ-45 console port for initial configuration and enable required Layer 2 features such as VLANs, QoS or traffic prioritization according to your network design. Monitor MAC table entries and port statistics to confirm correct operation and to plan capacity.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm whether Layer 2 managed functionality meets your routing and security requirements or if a Layer 3 device is needed
• Verify required uplink media (SFP fiber modules) and compatible transceiver types for your fiber connections
• Check if Power over Ethernet (PoE) or higher switching capacity is required for your deployment
• Ensure available rack space and proper ventilation for a 1U rackmount device

Recommendations

Apply VLAN segmentation and QoS policies to prioritize critical traffic, use the SFP ports for resilient uplinks, and schedule firmware updates and backups of configuration to maintain reliable operation.
