Two Gigabit Ports Plus Easy Browser-based Management
NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches fill the gap between unmanaged and fully managed
switches. The family of ProSafe Smart Switches is designed for growing businesses that
want control over their network without the cost and complexity of a full Layer 2/Layer 3
management implementation. This second generation Smart Switch, FS726T, with affordable
built-in gigabit power, easily 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. With the utility of 24 10/100 Mbps ports, 2 copper 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and an SFP
slot for optional fiber connectivity, growing business networks, classrooms and workgroups can
benefit from superior performance and keep up with expanding network needs. This highperformance switch features a non-blocking wire-speed architecture with an 8.8 Gbps switching
capacity for maximum data throughput. 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 the simple Smart Switch management,
making it a snap to monitor switch performance, configure ports, even set up port trunks,
VLANs, and traffic prioritization. Alternatively, use SNMP-based software to manage your Smart
Switch. Shipped ready for use straight out of the box, it delivers switching that’s easy to set up
and use. NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches are ideal for adding basic management to your
unmanaged networks and extending your managed networks.

Two RJ-45 copper Gigabit ports and an SFP slot for optional fiber make it possible to create
high-speed connections to a server or network backbone whether it’s nearby or far away,
Auto-Negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100,
1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance.
Web-based 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 on the front panel make switch status easy to observe and troubleshooting easy to
accomplish. Use as an unmanaged switch for plug & play operation or use the Smart Wizard to
easily access the intuitive web-based management features.
Made to last, this durable switch is housed in a 17” metal box and is backed by a lifetime
warranty. Comes complete with a rack mounting kit. Works with Windows, Macintosh O/S,
Linux and Netware Operating systems.
