Where to Use This Product
1. Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Extension
Ideal for residential fiber setups in Dubai or Nairobi. Use the SFP port to connect directly to your fiber provider's line and distribute Gigabit internet to your TV, gaming console, and PC.
2. Office Desk Aggregator
Perfect for workstations in Business Bay or JLT. Instead of running five cables from your server room to one desk, run one fiber line to the RB260GS and connect all your local peripherals locally.
3. Network Edge for ISPs
For ISPs in Africa, this switch is a cost-effective way to provide managed Gigabit service to small business clients, allowing for bandwidth shaping and VLAN isolation at the customer's premises.
4. Home Labs & Media Centers
A great choice for tech hobbyists. Use it to isolate your smart home devices or media server on a separate VLAN to ensure maximum security and performance for your main internet traffic.
