XS708T-100AJS | Netgear XS708T ProSAFE 10-Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switch - 8-Port

Overvview

As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEARunderstands the importance of reliable and high performance networks. With the growth of virtualization, cloud-based services and applications like VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance, SMB networks need to extend beyond simple reliability to higher speed and performance. The 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Switch series from NETGEAR presents the right solution for this requirement; delivering unprecedented non-blocking 10-Gigabit bandwidth at an affordable cost.

The NETGEAR ProSAFEXS708T, XS716T, XS728T, and XS748T are powerful Smart Managed Switches that come with 8, 16, 24, or 44 10-Gigabit Copper ports and either 2 Shared (Combo) Copper/SFP+ ports (XS708T/XS716T) or 4 additional Dedicated SFP+ ports (XS728T/XS748T) for 10G Fiber links. The NETGEAR 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Switches are purposely designed as a cost-effective way to provide 10G connections to 10G-capable servers and NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems. They can be used at the center of a small business network or as an aggregation / access switch in a larger organization including workgroup access, connecting to a 10Gigabit NETGEAR ProSAFE Fully Managed Switch on one end and extending the 10G connections to the edge. The XS708T and XS716T are also ideal for smaller workgroups that need high bandwidth for sharing, collaborating, editing, and publishing high-density content like video or animation.

• It is backward compatible, auto-negotiating between higher and lower speeds thereby not forcing an all-at-once network equipment upgrade
• Cat 5 / Cat 5e are supported for Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters
• Cat 6 twisted pair copper cabling supports 10-Gigabit speeds up to 45 meters
• Cat 6a or newer Cat 7 cabling will allow for up to 100 meter 10GBASE-T connections
