Overview

Scale Beyond Gigabit with Adaptive Multi-Speed NetworkingEngineered for modern multi-speed enterprise networks, NETGEAR's 5-Speed Multi-Gigabit switches intelligently adapt from 100Mbps to 10Gbps per port, delivering exact bandwidth each device needs.With the demands of hybrid work, cloud services, AI-enhanced productivity tools, and high-definition video conferencing, modern networks need to extend beyond the 1-Gigabit barrier. The 10-Gigabit/ Multi-Gigabit Easy Smart Managed series from NETGEAR delivers on these evolving requirements, providing reliable 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit bandwidth at an affordable cost.Each port automatically detects which speed is needed by the connected device and provides the optimal performance. Unlike standard 10-Gigabit switches that only provide 1-Gigabit connectivity to devices requiring less than 10-Gigabit, the XS512EM and XS724EM deliver the exact speed required with no downgrades. Additionally, these NETGEAR MultiGigabit switch ports support a range of existing cable types-Cat5e cables for speeds up to 5 Gbps and Cat6/Cat6A for full 10-Gigabit performance maximizing your current infrastructure investment while providing flexible upgrade paths.Highlights | Hardware Highlights5-speed NetworkingXS512EMv2: 10-port Multi-Gigabit + 2 dedicated SFP+XS724EMv2: 24-port Multi-Gigabit + 4 dedicated SFP+Dedicated Fiber Uplinks: Pure SFP+ ports for high-speed backbone connectionsRackmount or DesktopActive fans for whisper-quiet operation0°C to 50°C tested performanceSoftware HighlightsVLAN support for traffic segmentationQuality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritizationAuto \"denial-of-service\" (DoS) prevention Link Aggregation to add redundancy and increase your network speed (Static LAC and LACP supported)Loop prevention and broadcast storm controlsIGMP snooping v1, v2 and v3 support for multicast optimizationRate limiting for better bandwidth allocationPort mirroring for network monitoringJumbo frame supportEnergy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE802.3az) support for maximum power savingsTroubleshoot connection issues via cable testIndustry leading warrantyLimited Lifetime 24/7 Technical Support
