The XGS1935 series delivers improvements in energy efficiency and carbon emission reductions, while providing hassle-free and affordable 10GbE migration with high-performance switching technology.

Simplified to suit growing businesses

Startups and small businesses often find it challenging to provide seamless connectivity for the growing number of devices in the workplace – from laptops and servers to IP cameras and phones. Available in 28- and 52-gigabit port options, the XGS1935 series provides flexible and scalable networking while ensuring fast and reliable connectivity for dozens of devices simultaneously.

“The XGS1935 series meets the essential connectivity needs of small businesses by offering simple management and essential functionality, while still being affordable and more sustainable for our SMB customers,” said Mr Kell Lin, Senior Associate Vice President, Networking Strategic Business Unit, Zyxel Networks. “It removes existing network upgrade barriers that may otherwise hinder a smaller business, helping them unlock their potential with scalable, high-performance, and eco-friendly networking solutions.”

The inclusion of four 10GbE SFP+ uplinks help businesses bypass network bottlenecks, while Power over Ethernet (PoE) options simplify installation by delivering both power and data through a single cable. A total power capacity of 375W and support for PoE+ enables the XGS1935 series to meet the power demands of most connected devices, including surveillance cameras, access control systems, and wireless access points. Additionally, the switches have a built-in smart fan that automatically adjusts its speed based on the internal temperature of the device, reducing noise while ensuring stable connectivity for everyday operation.

Flexible management options

Businesses that adopt the XGS1935 series will also benefit from a license-free version of Zyxel Networks’ Nebula cloud management platform, for zero-touch deployment and remote network control via the web or through the app. The switch series also features standalone management with an intuitive wizard and user-friendly local web interface. This allows more in-depth configuration of capabilities such as enhanced QoS, Link Aggregation, IPv6, and IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 static routing, without the need to learn and use a complex command line interface (CLI).

Eco-conscious innovation

Zyxel Networks is dedicated to being environmentally responsible while continuing to innovate in product design. The XGS1935 series introduces several eco-friendly improvements over its predecessor. Its compact design has reduced packaging by up to 36%, resulting in a 48% increase in units per pallet and an estimated 18.84% reduction in carbon emissions. The XGS1935 series also incorporates next-generation energy-efficient components, offering energy consumption savings of up to 18.13% compared to earlier models.
