Every copper port runs at 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G or 100M, so it matches the speed of each connected device over the existing cabling. It mounts in a rack or sits on a desk, making it a practical 10G switch for edit suites, server closets and AV equipment rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/XS512EM.jpg?v=1793870359\" alt=\"Netgear XS512EM 12-port 10G Multi-Gigabit switch\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Netgear XS512EM work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XS512EM provides ten dedicated 10G\/Multi-Gig RJ-45 ports plus two combo ports. Each combo port can be used either as a 10G\/Multi-Gig copper port or as an SFP+ slot for a fiber or copper transceiver, so you can uplink to a 10G core or aggregation switch over fiber. With 240 Gbps of bandwidth and a 178.6 Mpps forwarding rate, it switches all ports at line rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNetgear lists Layer 2 controls on the XS512EM including 802.1Q VLANs (64), port and 802.1p prioritization, DSCP-based QoS, ingress and egress rate limiting, LACP link aggregation and IGMP snooping with unknown-multicast blocking. Note that the IGMP snooping querier is not supported, so an AV-over-IP or Dante multicast network needs a querier elsewhere, such as an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/netgear-xsm4316-100nes-16pt-m4350-8x8f-managed-switch\"\u003eM4350-8X8F fully managed AV switch\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo active fans keep the switch quiet, with Netgear measuring 29.13 dB at idle.
