Energize your network with our latest 10-gigabit switch

Given the surge in cloud computing, video streaming, AI, and other data-intensive technologies, conventional gigabit Ethernet (GE) networks are facing challenges in keeping pace. Delays and latency issues are impacting application performance and overall user satisfaction.

The most recent inclusion in the Sophos Switch lineup, CS1010-8FP, presents a cost-efficient solution to cater to the high-speed, low-latency demands of contemporary networks and applications, including:

• Streaming high-definition media
• Transferring large files, for instance, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), video editing
• Performing server-to-server and server-to-NAS data backups
• Communicating with 10-gigabit servers
• Connecting multiple 1-gigabit switches to enhance performance
• Establishing a faster LAN to leverage high-speed internet, such as Fiber to the premises

Key features of the product

To get a quick insight into the new model, you can watch the following video:

The CS1010-8FP features eight 10-gigabit PoE-capable ports (PoE++/802.3bt) and four SFP+ interfaces. The Power over Ethernet budget of 410W is adequate to power up to six devices consuming 60W each or eight PoE++ devices with slightly lower power consumption, like our AP6 840E access points

Connectivity of CS1010-8FP

• 8 x 1/2.5/5/10 GE multi-gigabit copper ports
• 4 x 1/10G SFP+ fiber ports
• 410W PoE budget
  • Ports 1-8 (maximum 60W per port)
  • 802.3bt/PoE++

10 GE is fully interoperable with previous Ethernet standards, enabling easy integration with existing networks (provided the necessary Cat6 cables are utilized).

By incorporating Sophos’ multi-gig connectivity across your firewalls, access points, and switches, you secure a forward-looking solution to prevent network congestions and achieve the essential throughput to address evolving connectivity needs. This empowers you to expand your operations and seamlessly accommodate emerging technologies, ensuring the productivity of your employees and the agility of your business.
