Straightforward Fiber Aggregation for Growing Networks
When your network demands reliable fiber connectivity without the complexity of managed switching, the SL1622 delivers exactly what you need. This 16-port SFP Ethernet rack mount unmanaged switch packs 16 Fast Ethernet SFP downlink slots, two 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 uplinks, and two Gigabit SFP uplink slots into a compact 1U metal chassis. No configuration, no CLI, no hassle — just connect your fiber cables and power it on.
Why It Fits Small Business and Edge Deployments
We designed the SL1622 for IT admins and integrators who handle IP camera clusters, floor-level access switches, or fiber-to-copper bridging in office buildings. The 16 SFP ports let you extend connectivity up to 100 km over single-mode fiber, while the dual Gigabit RJ45 uplinks connect to your core network or NVR without extra media converters. Auto MDI/MDIX on all copper ports eliminates cable headaches, and the 10K jumbo frame support keeps video streams and large file transfers smooth.
Built to Stay Out of Your Way
The fanless metal housing silently dissipates heat, so you can mount it in a rack or place it on a desktop near workstations without noise complaints. A 1 Mbit buffer and 8K MAC table handle east-west traffic in small workgroups without packet loss. And with PoE 802.3af/at on the RJ45 uplinks, you can power an IP phone or a small access point directly from the switch, cutting down power adapter clutter.
Where It Shines
- IP surveillance backhaul — connect up to 16 fiber cameras and uplink to an NVR via Gigabit copper.
- Small enterprise fiber aggregation — bring multiple fiber segments into a single rack unit.
- Office network expansion — add fiber-capable endpoints without upgrading your entire switching infrastructure.
