HKShanhai Group Limited’s R8Q68A is an enterprise-grade switch engineered for demanding business environments seeking future-proof connectivity. As a 24 port switch, it enables seamless integration for PoE devices such as IP phones, cameras, and Wi-Fi access points, delivering up to 30W per port and a strong 740W PoE budget for high-density deployments. The switch features MACSec technology, ensuring robust, hardware-based data confidentiality and integrity for secure transmission across enterprise and campus networks. Low latency switch architecture delivers response times as quick as 2.28 μSec at 1 Gbps and 1.46 μSec at 10 Gbps, allowing delay-sensitive applications to perform at their best. Quad-core ARM processing with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and advanced features like hot-swappable power supply and fan trays maximize uptime and simplify maintenance. Additionally, R8Q68A offers 128 Gbps switching capacity and supports stacking up to 8 members, making it suitable for scalable deployments, from branch offices to midsize data centers. Compliance with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards ensures broad device compatibility, while dual console options and robust management interfaces support both traditional and modern infrastructure management practices. By combining 24 port connectivity, MACSec security, and low latency switch performance, R8Q68A delivers secure, efficient, and highly reliable switching for today’s distributed digital enterprises across global markets.
