Scale Beyond Gigabit with Adaptive Multi-Speed Networking
Engineered for modern multi-speed enterprise networks, NETGEAR's 5-Speed Multi-Gigabit switches intelligently adapt from 100Mbps to 10Gbps per port, delivering exact bandwidth each device needs.
With the demands of hybrid work, cloud services, AI-enhanced productivity tools, and high-definition video conferencing, modern networks need to extend beyond the 1-Gigabit barrier. The 10-Gigabit/ Multi-Gigabit Easy Smart Managed series from NETGEAR delivers on these evolving requirements, providing reliable 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit bandwidth at an affordable cost.
Each port automatically detects which speed is needed by the connected device and provides the optimal performance. Unlike standard 10-Gigabit switches that only provide 1-Gigabit connectivity to devices requiring less than 10-Gigabit, the XS512EM and XS724EM deliver the exact speed required with no downgrades. Additionally, these NETGEAR MultiGigabit switch ports support a range of existing cable types-Cat5e cables for speeds up to 5 Gbps and Cat6/Cat6A for full 10-Gigabit performance maximizing your current infrastructure investment while providing flexible upgrade paths.
