Ethernet Routing Switch Avaya 4524GT-PWR 24 x 10/100/1000 PoE+ 4 SFP

The Avaya 4524GT-PWR is a managed Ethernet routing switch with 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and PoE+ power delivery, plus four SFP uplink slots for fiber connectivity. Built for small to medium enterprise networks, the unit combines Layer 2 switching and basic Layer 3 routing functions, offering VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service controls and centralized management options. The integrated PoE+ capability supplies power to IP phones, wireless access points and PoE cameras directly over standard Ethernet cabling, reducing the need for separate power adapters and simplifying installation.

Advantages

The switch provides full Gigabit connectivity across 24 copper ports with PoE+ support, allowing simultaneous data and power delivery to connected devices. Four SFP uplink slots give flexibility for fiber connections to distribution switches or network aggregation points, enabling longer-distance links and uplink redundancy. Managed features include VLANs, QoS and basic routing to segment traffic, prioritize latency-sensitive applications and interconnect subnets. Rack-mountable design and enterprise-oriented management make it suitable for structured deployments while reducing cabling complexity by powering devices directly from the switch.

Suitable for

• Small to medium enterprise office networks requiring Gigabit Ethernet and PoE+
• VoIP deployments with IP phones that need inline power
• Wireless access point backhaul and PoE-powered AP installations
• Surveillance camera systems where PoE+ is required for cameras
• Network edge aggregation with fiber uplinks to core switches

Key specifications

• 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports with PoE+ capability
• 4 x SFP slots for fiber uplink modules
• Managed switch with Layer 2 features and basic Layer 3 routing
• VLAN support, QoS traffic prioritization and port-based security options
• Rack-mountable form factor and standard Ethernet management interfaces

How to use

Install the Avaya 4524GT-PWR in a standard equipment rack or place it on a stable surface with adequate ventilation. Connect network devices to the RJ45 ports using appropriate Cat5e/Cat6 cabling to achieve Gigabit links. Insert compatible SFP modules into the uplink slots for fiber connectivity where required. Configure the switch through its management interface—web GUI, CLI or SNMP—set up VLANs, QoS policies and PoE port allocation according to device power requirements. Monitor port status and power budgets to ensure PoE delivery across connected devices and adjust settings for traffic prioritization and routing as needed.

Usage recommendations

Plan PoE power distribution before deployment: verify total available PoE+ budget and allocate ports to avoid overloading the power capacity. Use Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for Gigabit performance, and select SFP modules that match the fiber type and distance requirements. Apply VLAN segmentation and QoS for voice and video traffic to maintain performance for latency-sensitive applications.
