Plenty of room to move up with 1G, 2.5G, 5G and even 10G!Businesses need to be prepared for future growth: The new multispeed devices require wired networks to support speeds beyond 1 Gigabit to avoid becoming a bottleneck. The IEEE 802.3bz standard has paved the way for speeds of 2.5 and 5 Gigabit – in addition to the older speeds of 1 and 10 Gigabit per second. New servers, workstations, storage devices and motherboards are equipped with 802.3bz (NBASE-T) multi-Gigabit Ethernet for 2.5 to 5 times faster speeds and for up to 100 m of conventional CAT5e/Cat6 cabling.That's why NETGEAR has developed the new 8-port Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with 10G copper/fiber uplinks. Each port automatically detects the speed that the connected device requires and provides the same. Unlike standard 10 Gigabit switches, which provide 1 Gigabit connectivity to all devices with a requirement of less than 10 Gigabit, MS510TX and MS510TXPP provide the exact speed required without downgrading. In addition, the new NETGEAR Multispeed Switch ports can be connected to standard CAT5e network cables without the need to upgrade to CAT6 cabling. This means less cost and less effort.Access, Aggregation, or Collapsed CoreYou can now connect your PCs, printers, and routers/firewalls to 1G and merge new multi-gigabit Ethernet devices into the same switch, all at wire speed. 10G copper and fiber ports are available for local servers and local storage or high-speed aggregation to your network core.Multi-Gigabit for future-proof deploymentswith or without PoE, the switches offer two multi-gigabit RJ-45 ports with support for 5G, 2.5G and 1G; another two multi-gigabit RJ-45 ports with support for 2.5G and 1G; four 1G-RJ-45 ports; a dedicated 10G-RJ-45 uplink port (which also supports 5G, 2.5G and 1G); And a dedicated SFP+ fiber uplink port with support for 10G and 1G.Comprehensive L2+-/Layer 3 Lite-functionsNETGEAR Smart Managed Pro Switches offer powerful L2+ and Layer 3 Lite-functions as well as excellent performance and user-friendliness. They are designed specifically for converged networks where voice, video, and data are supported by a single network platform. With network efficiency, operational costs and management in mind, these switches leave nothing to be desired. Advanced features such as static IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 routing, DiffServ QoS, LACP Link Aggregation, and Spanning Tree meet even the most demanding needs of today's small business networks.Smart-ITis not an IT professional, it is not a complicated user manual; you can easily configure your network with the easy-to-use web browser-based NETGEAR Smart Managed Pro user interface. The MS510TX and MS510TXPP include a NETGEAR ProSafe Lifetime Limited Warranty and 24-hour support including live chat.This text is machine translated.
