SMC TigerSwitch 1000 8748L2 switch review

High Gigabit port density at a very low price ; easy to install and manage ; cost-effective fibre 10GbE uplink options

Layer 2 only, standalone switch

SMC's TigerSwitch 1000 8748L2 is good value for a switch with 48 gigabit Ethernet ports, but does not support layer 3 switching or stacking.

High Gigabit port density at a very low price ; easy to install and manage ; cost-effective fibre 10GbE uplink options

SMC's 10GbE uplink options are provided by a couple of single-port expansion modules that support industry-standard XFP fibre transceivers.
