{"product_id":"netgear-xs505m-100nas","title":"Netgear XS505M-100NAS","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NETGEAR XS505M is a 5-port 10G\/multi-gig unmanaged switch with four 10G copper ports and one 10G SFP+ fiber uplink, built for plug-and-play high-speed AV connectivity. Each copper port auto-detects 100M\/1G\/2.5G\/5G\/10G and delivers the exact speed each device needs over existing cabling, with no configuration required. The SFP+ port provides a 1G\/10G fiber uplink to your core or aggregation switch. With a 100Gbps line-rate fabric and a durable metal case, it is a compact way to add 10G to NAS, workstations, and AV-over-IP gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XS505M brings 10G connectivity to small AV and editing setups without management overhead. Its four copper ports use 5-speed technology to auto-negotiate 100M\/1G\/2.5G\/5G\/10G, giving each connected device its full speed rather than downgrading sub-10G devices to 1G as standard 10G switches do. The ports accept regular Cat5e for 2.5G\/5G and Cat6A for full 10G, reducing recabling costs. A single 10G SFP+ port adds a fiber or copper-module uplink to the network core or to a 10G-capable aggregation switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 100Gbps line-rate fabric forwards traffic at wire speed with low latency, jumbo frame support up to 9K, and 802.1p QoS and DSCP honoring for prioritized traffic. There is nothing to configure: connect devices and the switch handles speed negotiation automatically. The metal case mounts on a 19-inch rack or sits on a desktop, and an active fan keeps it whisper-quiet. It is well suited to connecting a 10G NAS, multi-gig workstations, and high-bandwidth AV endpoints in a small studio or editing suite.

5-speed ports deliver each device its exact speed (100M\/1G\/2.5G\/5G\/10G) instead of downgrading sub-10G devices to 1G, which preserves multi-gig performance for access points and 2.5G\/5G
