Description
Building a fast, reliable network for your small-to-medium business but don’t need PoE on every device? The Grandstream GWN7803 Pro is the smart choice. This Layer 2++ managed switch delivers 24 full Gigabit Ethernet ports plus two ultra-fast 10G SFP+ uplinks—perfect for smooth VoIP calls, 4K video streaming, large file transfers, and cloud applications without any power-delivery overhead.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The GWN7803 Pro is our top recommendation when you need high-speed switching without PoE (or when you already have separate PoE injectors or powered devices). The 88 Gbps switching capacity and 10G uplinks keep everything lightning-fast, while the lower power draw (just 21.4W) keeps your electric bill happy.
What we love:
- Full 24 Gigabit ports + 2x 10G SFP+ uplinks give you serious backbone speed.
- Same advanced Layer 2++ features and free GDMS cloud management as the PoE models.
- Completely silent operation and compact rack-mount design.
Pro setup tip from our team: When connecting to Grandstream APs or Yealink phones on separate PoE switches, enable LLDP-MED in the WebUI for seamless device discovery. Takes about 10 minutes and makes management effortless.
