Frequently asked questions
What happens when the included support ends?
Renew Switch Support and Services for the CS101-8FP. If it lapses, Sophos Fusion management becomes read-only, firmware updates stop, and 24/7 phone support and advance replacement end. The switch keeps working with its local configuration.
What warranty does it have?
A Sophos limited lifetime warranty. Under the Sophos hardware replacement policy, the lifetime ends at the End-of-Life date for the model, and advance replacement needs an active support subscription.
How many PoE devices can it power?
Sophos lists 7 at 15.4W or 3 at 30W, from a total budget of 110W. Add up the wattage of your cameras, phones and access points and we will check it fits.
Does it need a Sophos Firewall?
No. It works as a standalone managed switch, and Sophos says Active Threat Response on the switch does not need a Sophos Firewall. With a Sophos Firewall you get more automatic response actions.
Are transceivers included?
Plan them separately for the SFP or SFP+ ports you use. Tell us the cable run and we will quote the right optic or copper module.
How do I order?
Add it to your cart, or send us your device count and PoE needs and we will confirm the model and quote any support term or transceivers.
