GS1915 Series
8-port GbE Smart Managed Switch
The Zyxel GS1915 Series offers two 8-port GbE Smart Managed Switches with and without PoE connectivity to small business network. The GS1915 Series supports NebulaFlex that comes with handy features and superior performance. This series is the most affordable hybrid switch solution for SB/SMB market. It can be easily setup through Nebula Control Center for cloud based unified management, or with its friendly Web GUI if you still prefer local setting.

Simple, affordable way to go cloud
Our visual step-by-step guide makes it easy to setup switches and other network devices to Nebula either through the Web Interface and mobile APP. Pro-users, small businesses, and chain stores can take advantage of Nebula to access real-time network information and enjoy centrally managed control over the GS1915 Smart Managed switches along with access points and security gateways. GS1915 series switch can satisfy requirements for a wide range of users; for Prosumers, it is able to ensure the quality connectivity for growing home IOT devices, for small business users, it can provide a sturdy network performance for daily operation, for chain store adoptions, it can manage and maintain multiple stores, all while carrying the flexibility to expand networking solution for new store locations instantly

NebulaFlex – simply manage it your way!
The GS1915 Series supports NebulaFlex technology which provides extended flexibility for users to easily switch network management modes between standalone and our license-free Nebula cloud management platform. The NebulaFlex even allows you to change your mind at any time without additional cost while protecting previous investments on wired technology.

Compact size, silent operation
Both models in the GS1915 Series come with desktop dimensions and fanless design. The slim and silent Switch can perfectly blend into any working environment without disturbing fan noises.

Intelligence to power more devices
All 8 ports of GS1915-8EP support IEEE 802.3at for max deployment of modern PoE devices. Each port provides up to 30 W with a total of 60W power budget, ideal for setup just a few more AP and camera for small businesses. The GS1915-8EP features a default PoE consumption mode that delivers only the actual power required by your networked devices, reserves the rest to optimize its power budget, allowing the switch to power more devices, ensuring a better ROI for your business.

At the same time, it’s important to be responsive to changing customer needs – and this why we are introducing the new GS1915 switch to our popular 1900 family.

The GS1915 is an eight-port switch that comes with NebulaFlex dual mode management i.e. it can be configured and controlled through our Nebula cloud platform or controlled as a stand-alone unit. This makes it different to the GS1900, which is managed as a stand-alone device through a simple web interface i.e. it is what we call a ‘smart managed’ switch in its simplest form.

The GS1915-8 comes in two versions – one without PoE (the GS1915-8), the other with a PoE budget of 60W (the GS1915-8EP). This is a perfect power budget rating for the likes of powering a couple of PoE devices ie at small offices or even home offices.

The new model is then, distinctive for two reasons; first it can be managed either through the cloud with Nebula, or as a stand-alone unit; and second, it is available with a power budget that is less than half of that on the next model in the range. In addition, we apply our intelligent automated management to this relatively lean PoE power budget to ensure it is used efficiently. Any PoE device connected will only draw the power it actually needs.

Ideal for small spaces
This carefully managed 60W budget is ideal for a few devices. If you wanted to power a wireless access point and an IP phone in a reception area or shop, for example. Or for a smaller office with a couple of access points, or a very simple IP surveillance set-up. In addition, as it has NebulaFlex, the GS1915 can be monitored and controlled via the cloud, so it can be managed from a back office or remotely.

We have introduced the GS1915 in response to increased demand for a switch that would cater for the many scenarios where there is a need for flexible management and perhaps only two or three PoE devices need to be supported. A lower PoE budget also means a lower acquisition cost, enabling customers to take advantage of this amazing technology without having more capability and capacity than they really need.

One final point worth mentioning is that – like most of the GS1900 range – the GS1915 has a compact, fanless design, making visually and audibly unobtrusive, all of which is perfect for small spaces.
