Nortel Networks BayStack 460-24T-PWR Power over Ethernet Switch is a resilient, secure stackable switch with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities to IEEE P802.3af compliant devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and net cameras. The switch has all of the features of BayStack Business Policy Switch such as advanced Quality of Service (QoS) and high-resiliency, with the addition of Power over Ethernet capability. It enables enterprise customers to power IP devices while maintaining connectivity to standard 10/100Mbps Ethernet devices such as PCs and servers. The BayStack 460-24T-PWR Switch has 24 10/100Mbps ports, one MDA (Media Dependent Adapter) slot for uplink connectivity, and one cascade module slot for stacking. Up to eight switches can be stacked to achieve up to 224 10/100 ports (using 4-port 10/100Mbps MDA per switch). The 2.5Gbps cascading bandwidth offers dedicated bandwidth between switches without sacrificing any uplink ports. The uplink ports can be used for connections to backbone switches such as the Passport 8600.
