NETGEAR 28-Port 10G Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch (XS728T) – with 4 x 10Gigabit SFP+, Desktop/Ra

10-Gigabit Transition with Base-T

• 10GBase-T, like other Base-T technologies, uses the standard RJ-45 Ethernet jack
• It is backward compatible, auto-negotiating between higher and lower speeds – thereby not forcing an all-at-once network equipment upgrade
• CAT5/CAT5E are supported for Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters
• CAT6 twisted pair copper cabling supports 10-Gigabit speeds up to 45 meters
• CAT6A or newer CAT7 cabling will allow for up to 100 meter 10GBase-T connections

Designed as a Core Switch for SMB Networks

• 10G connection to 10G-capable servers and network storage
• Powerful L2+/Layer 3 Lite features make them the most cost-effective core switches for SMB and virtualization environment
• Future-proof your network with 10G bandwidth, advanced traffic management and comprehensive IPv6 support
• Static routing helps to route internal traffic for more efficient use of network resources
• IGMP and MLD snooping provide advanced multicast filtering

Act as an Aggregation Switch for Medium Sized Networks

• 10-Gigabit switches help to resolve the congestion issue between network edge and core, which is caused by the broader adoption of Gigabit-to-the-desktop
• 10-Gigabit Ethernet provides greater scalability than multiple Gigabit Ethernet links, resulting in a simplified and highly efficient network infrastructure
• Up to eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet links can be aggregated into a virtual 80-Gbps connection
• 10-Gigabit Ethernet reduces cabling complexity and uses existing cabling efficiently
