Netgear XS512EM 12-Port 10/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch

As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR understands 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 and Multi-Gigabit Plus Switches from NETGEAR present the right solution for this requirement; delivering unprecedented non-blocking10-Gigabit bandwidth at the most affordable cost. All of them are perfect for removing the SMB network bottlenecks caused by the proliferation of Gigabit-to-the-desktop and the upcoming 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit high end workstations.

Hardware Features

10GBASE-T Connections
Support low-latency, line-rate 10G Copper "BASE-T" technology with backward compatibility to Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. Cost-effectively migrate current network to 10G capacity by utilizing the existing Cat 6 RJ45 short connections (up to 45m) and Cat 6a / Cat 7 connections up to 100m.

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.

Multi-Gigabit Connections
Support line-rate 2.5G/5G "NBASE-T" technology with backward compatibility to Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. Upgrade your current network without upgrading your existing cabling, thanks to Multi-Gigabit you will be able to run 5G and 2.5G over connections up to 100m.

Software Features

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.

• Port-based or 802.1p-based prioritization
• Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritization
• Port-based ingress and egress rate limiting

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.

Loop Detection / Auto DoS Prevention
Detect accidental network loops and protect against DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.

Port-based & 802.1Q-based VLANs
Segment network into smaller groups for more secure and efficient use of network resources.

Port Trunking / Link Aggregation (LAG)
Build up bigger bandwidth to support aggregated uplink/downlink traffic.

Energy Effiecient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az)
For maximum power savings and reduced energy costs.

Port Mirroring
For better and quicker network diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Cable Test
Easily identify bad Ethernet cables.
