Grandstream GWN7721PE L2-Lite Managed Multi-Gigabit PoE Switch (8x 2.5G PoE+, 1x 10G PoE++, 1x SFP+)
The Grandstream GWN7721PE is a high-performance Layer 2 Lite Managed Multi-Gigabit PoE Switch designed to deliver high-speed networking for small-to-medium businesses, SOHO setups, and multi-dwelling units (MDUs). Featuring 8x 2.5GbE PoE+ ports, 1x 10GbE PoE++ port, and 1x 10G SFP+ optical uplink, it provides the multi-gigabit throughput and power delivery needed to support advanced Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, IP surveillance cameras, and high-density network setups.
Equipped with an 80 Gbps switching capacity and a total PoE budget of 150W, the GWN7721PE ensures continuous network stability through features like PoE Watchdog, loop detection, and spanning tree support (STP/RSTP). It offers versatile management options, including embedded local Web GUI, GDMS Cloud management, GWN Manager on-premises software, and GWN mobile app control.
High-Speed Multi-Gigabit & 10G Connectivity
- Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Includes 8x 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and 1x 10GbE RJ45 port for ultra-fast device connections without bottlenecking.
- Dedicated 10G SFP+ Uplink: Features 1x 10G SFP+ fiber port for high-speed trunk connections to core routers or servers..
- Massive Switching Capacity: Delivers 80 Gbps switching capability and 40 Gbps total non-blocking throughput for concurrent heavy bandwidth traffic.
Advanced PoE++ & Intelligent Power Management
- Flexible PoE Output: Supports 802.3af/at PoE+ on Ports 1–8 (up to 30W/port) and high-power 802.3bt PoE++ on Port 9 (up to 90W) with a 150W total PoE budget.
- PoE Watchdog: Automatically detects unresponsive connected devices (like IP cameras or APs) and reboots them by power-cycling the port to minimize on-site maintenance.
- Uninterruptible PoE: Maintains PoE power output to connected endpoints during soft switch reboots to prevent service downtime.
Robust L2 Lite Management & Network Security
- Traffic Control & QoS: Built-in VLAN isolation, 802.1Q tagging, DSCP/802.1p priority mapping, and bandwidth control for optimal voice/video prioritization.
- Comprehensive Security: Features DHCP Snooping, IGMP Snooping, Port Loopback Detection, Storm Control, and Kensington Lock support.
- Flexible Cloud & Local Management: Manage easily via embedded local Web GUI, free GDMS Cloud platform, GWN Manager software controller, or mobile app.
