Powerful

High-Speed, Layer 2 Managed Gigabit Switching

NETGEAR delivers wirespeed Gigabit performance and a full set of Layer 2 management
features with unsurpassed affordability. This next-generation, high-speed switch delivers
maximum throughput where you need it — to high-performance workgroups at the edge of
the network, or as a backbone for 10/100 switches and Gigabit servers in demanding small
networks. The non-blocking design offers full Gigabit throughput simultaneously to all 12
10/100/1000 ports to ensure reliable performance. Layer 2 management functionality
delivers reliability, control, and availability. The very affordable NETGEAR ProSafe 12 Port
Gigabit L2 Managed Switch GSM7212 creates a more productive — and future-proof —
network. With increasing bandwidth requirements from applications such as video, voice,
database management, and other services that slow throughput and response time, you can
unleash your network and enable maximum productivity with Gigabit Ethernet for today’s
high-performance environments. Optimize bandwidth, security, and control with full Layer 2
management capabilities. Fiber connectivity is enabled through 12 combination Small Form­factor Pluggable (SFP)** gigabit ports. Network administrators can use any combination of
these features to ensure uptime, availability, bandwidth, and throughput.

A full 12 10/100/1000 ports and a non-blocking design provide wire speed throughput and maximum
bandwidth for the most demanding network environments. The 12 combination ports of Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces provide the flexibility to deploy fiber or copper connectivity within your network
environment. Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules deliver choice in 1000Base-SX or 1000Base­LX optics. The Layer 2 management features optimize bandwidth throughout the network – delivering
Gigabit performance to systems, applications, and services. Take advantage of forwarding rates up to 17.8
million pps, and a switching capacity of 24 Gbps.

Layer 2 management and full Gigabit power at a compelling price. Use at the edge to improve
workgroup connections, or at the core to upgrade a Gigabit Ethernet backbone — now you can
afford the power your network deserves. Like all NETGEAR products, everything you need is in the
box – including rack mount kit, power and serial cables, and more.
