NETGEAR XS724EM hallittava L2 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) 1U sininen, harmaa

The NETGEAR XS724EM is a managed L2 switch with 24 Multi-Gigabit RJ-45 ports that support 10G speeds and automatic link-speed negotiation. Designed for small and medium business networks, it delivers up to 480 Gbit/s switching capacity and a MAC address table of 32,000 entries to handle virtualization, flash storage, 4K video streaming and IP surveillance traffic without forcing devices down to 1 Gigabit.

Advantages

The switch provides per-port automatic speed detection so each connected device receives the exact required link rate from 100 Mbps up to 10 Gbps, reducing speed downgrade compared with conventional 10G switches. It supports managed L2 features and Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, fits in a 1U rack, and accepts standard Cat5e cable for Multi‑Gigabit connections, which reduces wiring upgrade costs. The model offers wide IEEE standards support for interoperability and energy-efficient Ethernet (802.3az).

Suitable for

• SMB networks requiring higher than 1 Gigabit throughput
• Virtualized server and storage environments
• 4K video streaming and media production workflows
• IP surveillance systems with high-bandwidth cameras

How to use

Install the XS724EM in a standard 1U rack or place it on a flat surface. Connect uplink and devices using Cat5e or better RJ-45 cables; the ports will auto-negotiate the optimal speed between 100 Mbps and 10 Gbps. Configure L2 management features and QoS policies via the switch management interface according to network topology and traffic requirements. Monitor the MAC table and port statistics to verify connectivity and performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use Cat5e cabling for existing infrastructure or Cat6/Cat6a for longer runs or maximum margin. Enable QoS for latency-sensitive services (VoIP, video) and keep firmware up to date. Plan port assignments to segregate high-bandwidth servers, storage and surveillance cameras to avoid congestion.
