Connectivity at the LAN Edge
The Sophos Switch Series provides secure, scalable Ethernet access for your wired and wireless devices and puts your LAN connectivity fully under your control.
Devices, devices everywhere
Many businesses have pieced together a colorful range of network equipment in an attempt to make connectivity work amid rapidly changing requirements. Sophos switches provide a simple solution to connect an ever-increasing range of devices to your network.
Segmentation for security
A network segmentation approach to security often begins at your switch. Configure virtual LANs (VLANs) to segment your internal traffic and reduce the attack surface in case of an infection or breach. VLANs help prevent guest devices from introducing risk to your environment and enhance overall security at the access layer.
SMB and SD-branch
Ideal for remote and home offices, small and medium-sized businesses, retail outlets, and branch offices, Sophos switches come in a range of sizes to suit the connectivity needs of many organizations.
Sophos Switch Use Cases
Sophos switches are ideal to address many use cases and help solve some of the connectivity challenges that businesses are facing today.
SMB and Branch Offices
Switches can extend the connectivity options in small and medium-sized branch offices and offer the flexibility to scale as needed.
To enhance security, you can deactivate unused switch ports or set up restricted access policies.
SD-Branch
With a firewall in your main office and SD-RED remote Ethernet devices in your remote locations, Sophos Switch integrates perfectly into your SD-WAN deployments.

Retail/Franchise Outlets
Adding security and connectivity to your retail space helps you meet the growing need for an enhanced user experience.
Your Sophos Switch can power and connect devices such as security cameras, Wi-Fi access points, printers, kiosk systems, and more.
Remote Offices
By equipping your many remote workers with an entry-level switch, you’ll ensure better connectivity in the home while keeping work separate from consumer-grade (and risk-prone) smart devices.
You can add a Sophos wireless access point for an even better experience.
Access-Layer Switch Range
The Sophos Switch Series offers a range of network access-layer options for connecting and powering devices on your LAN while adding security controls and segmentation at the all-important LAN edge.
Ethernet options
We offer two different series within our model range:
- 100 Series models offer 1G Ethernet ports plus either an SFP or SFP+ interface.
- 200 Series models are equipped with 2.5G and 1G Ethernet ports plus an SFP+ interface; configuration varies by model.
Each series includes models with 8, 24, and 48 ports.
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows you to connect and power your PoE-capable devices, such as access points, security cameras, and IP phones, via a single Ethernet cable. Your management interface of choice provides visibility into your power consumption and remaining PoE budget.
Deployment options
While most 24- and 48-port models will find their future home in a rack, our entry-level 8-port models are suitable for wall mounting or desktop use, making them ideal for deployments outside the standard datacenter environment. All switches come with a suitable mounting kit.
