Two Gigabit Ports Plus Easy Browser-based Management

NETGEAR's Smart Switch delivers built-in gigabit power at a very attractive price. With the

utility of 24 10/100 Mbps ports and 2 copper Gigabit Ethernet ports, growing business networks

can benefit from superior performance and keep up with expanding network needs. This

high-performance switch connects to servers or a Gigabit-speed backbone for a non-stop

10/100/1000-enabled network that can quickly deliver large multimedia, image, and video files.

All 26 RJ-45 ports automatically negotiate to the highest speed and support Auto Uplink™

technology to make the right link. In addition, an intuitive, Web-browser interface offers simple

switch management, making it a snap to monitor switch performance, configure ports, even set

up trunks, VLANs, and traffic prioritization. Shipped ready for use straight out of the box, it

delivers switching that’s easy to set up and use.

Two RJ-45 copper Gigabit ports make it possible to create high-speed connections to a server or network backbone.

Smart management features include performance monitoring, port configuration, VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization.

LEDs integrated with the network ports located on the front panel make switch status easy to observe and troubleshooting easy to accomplish.

Made to last, this durable switch is housed in a 13" metal box and is backed by a five-year warranty. Comes complete with a rack mounting kit.
