Cradlepoint TAA-MBA5-2105-5GB-FA 4-Port 2.5G Switch
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-MBA5-2105-5GB-FA is a 4-port 2.5G managed switch purpose-built for managed service providers and enterprises requiring U.S. federal procurement compliance. Deploy this switch at branch offices, edge locations, or distributed infrastructure where you need multi-gigabit port density without oversizing on channel count. The TAA (Trade Agreements Act) designation eliminates compliance friction for government contracts and institutional buyers—no secondary vetting required.
Compatibility
This switch integrates into MSP-managed network frameworks and hybrid architectures. It works alongside Cradlepoint mobile routers and SD-WAN edge appliances in branch deployments, as well as traditional managed switch stacks in data centers and co-location facilities. The 2.5G ports accommodate modern server uplinks, NAS devices, and redundant network paths without requiring full 10G infrastructure investment.
Installation Notes
Mount in standard rack or cabinet environments. Connect via standard RJ-45 cabling (Cat5e minimum for 2.5G; Cat6 recommended for link stability over longer runs). Power supply and network interfaces draw within typical managed switch operating envelope. No special tools or torque specs required for standard mounting.
