The PLB2224 features support unmanaged, minimally managed (Smart), and fully managed Layer-2 switch configurations. The Gigabit ports can be used to daisy chain multiple devices in a system providing even higher port counts for medium to large office buildings and multi-tenant, multi-dwelling units where power and space are at a premium. The high level of integration in PLB2224 allows for design of systems with fewer components and a low bill of material.
