Power supply iA second power supply gives redundancy and can raise the switch's total PoE budget. Larger power supplies are needed if many ports must deliver high PoE. Read the guide: PoE – is there enough power? →1 option
Storage (SSD) iThe module adds ports to the switch or router. The number is the port count and the letter the speed: G = 1G, X = 10G, Y = 25G, Q = 40G, C = 100G, M = multigigabit copper. Transceivers are ordered separately. Read the guide: Uplink modules – which one? →1 option
Rack mount iBrackets and rails for ceiling, wall or rack. A standard bracket is often included – choose here if you need a different mounting. Read the guide: Which access point? Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 →2 options
Transceivers 40G QSFP+ iEvery fibre port needs a transceiver. SR = multimode fibre within the building, LR = single-mode up to 10 km, T = copper (RJ45). Between switches in the same rack a DAC cable (CU) is cheapest. Read the guide: Transceivers and cables – what fits? →39 options
