{"product_id":"netgear-xs724em-100nas","title":"Netgear XS724EM-100NAS","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NETGEAR XS724EM is a 24-port 10G\/multi-gigabit Plus switch with two 10G SFP+ uplinks, built for high-bandwidth commercial AV and SMB networks. All 24 copper ports use 5-speed technology to auto-negotiate 100M\/1G\/2.5G\/5G\/10G, and two shared 10G SFP+ combo ports provide fiber uplinks to the core. The Plus management layer adds VLANs, QoS, link aggregation, and IGMP snooping on top of plug-and-play simplicity. With a 480Gbps fabric and a 32K MAC table, it aggregates 10G workstations, NAS, and AV-over-IP endpoints in a rack-mount chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XS724EM gives AV integrators dense 10G connectivity with essential management at a Plus-switch price point. Each of the 24 copper ports auto-detects 100M\/1G\/2.5G\/5G\/10G, delivering each device its full speed instead of downgrading sub-10G devices to 1G as standard 10G switches do. Ports run 2.5G\/5G over existing Cat5e and full 10G over Cat6A, reducing recabling costs. Two shared 10G SFP+ combo ports add fiber or copper-module uplinks to the network core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 480Gbps fabric forwards traffic at wire speed with a 32K MAC address table, jumbo frame support up to 9K, and up to 240 Mpps forwarding. Plus management adds port-based and 802.1Q VLANs, port-based and 802.1p\/DSCP QoS, static and LACP link aggregation (up to 12 LAGs), IGMP snooping, rate limiting, loop prevention, broadcast storm control, port mirroring, and cable test, all through a web GUI or the ProSAFE Plus utility. The metal chassis mounts in a 19-inch rack or sits on a desktop, with active fans for quiet operation. It suits broadcast and editing environments aggregating 10G storage and workstations.

the XS724EM provide PoE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a non-PoE 10G\/multi-gig aggregation switch. Pair it with a PoE switch such as the MS-series to power access points and cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the XS724EM and a full smart switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe XS724EM is a Plus switch. It offers VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, and link aggregation through a web GUI and the ProSAFE Plus utility, which is simpler than full smart-switch features like ACLs, 802.1x, and cloud management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the ports require Cat6A cabling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor full 10G, Cat6A is recommended (or Cat6 under 55 m). The ports run 2.5G\/5G over existing Cat5e, so most multi-gig devices connect without recabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow are the SFP+ ports configured?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe two 10G SFP+ ports are shared combo ports, so you use either the SFP+ slot or its paired copper port for each uplink, not both at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I aggregate links for more bandwidth?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Static and LACP link aggregation supports up to 12 LAGs with 8 members each for higher uplink throughput or redundancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat warranty and support are included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe XS724EM carries a NETGEAR Limited Lifetime hardware warranty with 24\/7 online technical support and Next Business Day replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Netgear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47725568852204,"sku":"XS724EM-100NAS","price":2199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/xs724em100nas.jpg?v=1781114488","url":"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/netgear-xs724em-100nas","provider":"Creation Networks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
