Netgear XS508M 10-Gigabit Ethernet Switch, 8 Network Ports, Multi-Speed Support, SFP+ Fiber Port, Desktop/Rack-mountable, Cat5E Compatible – XS508M-100NAS (Lifetime Warranty)

Description

Unlock the Potential of your 10G/Multi-Gig devices

The XS505M and XS508M come with Copper Ethernet ports that provide either FastEthernet, 1-Gigabit, 2.5-Gigabit, 5-Gigabit or 10-Gigabit connectivity, as well as 1 SFP+ Fiber port with 1-Gigabit or 10-Gigabit connectivity.

Each port automatically detects which speed is needed by the connected device and provides the adequate speed. As opposed to regular 10-Gigabit switches that will only provide 1-Gigabit connectivity to any device that require less than 10-Gigabit, the XS505M gives the exact speed required, no downgrade. Also, the new NETGEAR Multi-speed switch ports can be connected with regular Cat5E Ethernet cables, without the need to upgrade to Cat6 wiring, therefore reducing wiring costs and hassle
