Overview:
Unlock your Network Potential with 10-Gigabit/ Multi-Gigabit 5-Speed Networking Switches
Revolutionary 5-speed 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit technology built in the NETGEAR multi-speed switches allows your devices to speed past the Gigabit barrier.
With the growth of virtualization, flash Storage, 4K videos , video streaming and IP surveillance, SMB networks need to extend beyond 1 Gigabit barrier. The 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Plus series from NETGEAR presents the right solution for this requirement; delivering unprecedented 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit bandwith at an affordable cost.
Each port automatically detects which speed is needed by the connected device and provides the adequate speed. As opposed to regular 10-Gigabit switches that will only provide 1-Gigabit connectivity to any device that require less than 10-Gigabit, the XS512EM and XS724EM gives the exact speed required, no downgrade. Also, the new NETGEAR Multi-speed switch ports can be connected with regular Cat5E Ethernet cables, without the need to upgrade to Cat6/Cat6A wiring, therefore reducing wiring costs and hassle.

Features and Benefits:
| Hardware Features: | Benefits: |
|---|---|
| 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit support | Each copper interface supports 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G giving the exact speed required to any device regardless of the cable that's been used. |
| Active Fans | Active Fans make the XS512EM and XS724EM silent switches, well below offices ambient background noise. |
| 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports | Providing flexibility to uplink to 10G-capable core or aggregation switches that support fiber links. Backward compatible to Gigabit fiber. Support copper or fiber modules. |
| Rackmount or desktop | Flexible deployment for either rackmount or desktop placement. |
| Software Features: | Benefits: |
| Port-based and 802.1Q-based VLANs | Segment network into smaller groups for more secure and efficient use of network resources. |
Comprehensive QoS features:
|
Advanced controls for optimized network performance and better delivery of mission-critical traffic such as voice and video. Ingress and egress rate limiting allows for bandwidth shaping for mitigating network resources constraints or for optimizing guest access bandwidth on the network. |
| IGMP Snooping | For improved network efficiency on delivering multicast traffic. Save cost and improve network efficiency by ensuring multicast traffic only reaches designated receivers without the need of an extra multicast router. |
| Link Aggregation ( Static LAG and LACP) | Build up bigger bandwidth to support aggregated uplink/downlink traffic or to provide redundant link(s) using Static Manual LAGs or LACP. |
| Voice VLAN | The feature enables auto assignment of voice traffic (based on OUI) to a special VLAN (AKA Voice VLAN); allowing the assignment of special QoS parameters to that traffic, giving it high priority services. Port has to be MANUALLY assigned to be a member of the Voice VLAN. |
| Loop detection and auto DoS prevention | Detect accidental network loops and protect against DoS attacks. |
| Port Mirroring | For better and quicker network diagnostics and troubleshooting. |
| Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) | For maximum power savings and reduced energy costs. |
| Cable Test | Easily identify bad Ethernet cables. |
