4G SWITCH

A 4G switch refers to a second-generation Gigabit Ethernet switch, also known as a 2nd Gen switch. It is an advanced networking device designed to facilitate high-speed data communication within a local area network (LAN) at Gigabit speeds. The “4G” denotes the data transfer rate of 2 Gigabits per second (Gbps) supported by the switch.

Here are the key features and functionalities of a 4G switch:

Increased Port Density: A 4G switch typically offers a higher port density compared to its predecessor. It may have 24, 48, or more Ethernet ports available for connecting a larger number of devices to the network.

Gigabit Speeds: Similar to a 1G switch, a 4G switch supports data transfer rates of up to 1 Gbps per port. However, with improved hardware and higher overall capacity, a 4G switch can handle multiple concurrent Gigabit connections more efficiently.
