420 Series L3 Managed Partial Multi-gig Switch with Full PoE | 16 Plus 4 Rear Port
The Araknis 420 Series sits between the entry-level 320 and the advanced 620, combining fully managed Layer 2 and Lite Layer 3 routing with entry-level multi-gig performance. Static and inter-VLAN routing happen locally on the switch instead of relying entirely on the router, and 2.5Gbps multi-gig throughput on select ports makes the 420 Series a strong fit for AV-over-IP, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and multi-gig ISP service.
Scales From 16 to 48 Ports
The 420 Series is available in 16, 24, 44, and 48-port configurations, all with full PoE+ (up to 30W per port) and quad SFP+ transceiver ports for 10G fiber uplinking over extended distances. Choose front- or rear-facing ports on the 16- and 24-port models for the cleanest cable routing in your rack.
Quiet, Reliable Cooling
Redesigned cooling fans keep the 420 Series running efficiently with reduced noise even under a full PoE load — important in AV racks and equipment closets where every added decibel is noticeable.
Managed Through OvrC
Every 420 Series switch reports into OvrC for cloud-based remote configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, backed by a 5-year limited warranty on parts and labor.
