“With the growth of social, streaming media and IoT interactions, the network edge can be quickly overloaded unless you plan wisely and deploy managed Gigabit Ethernet as widely as possible,” said Philip Yim, Senior Vice President of Global Programs. “We are now in our 30th year of operation and our customers are well used to seeing highly practical, reliable and affordable technology that delivers the performance and value they need.”

GS970M models leverage a compact 1RU form factor which makes them ideal for open office and wiring closet environments. 2 or 4 fixed front panel 100/1000BASE-X (SFP) unpopulated ports can be utilized for high-speed backbone or link aggregation connections between wiring closets.
