Netgear XS508M Ethernet Switch – 8 Ports – 2 Layer Supported – Modular – Twisted Pair, Optical Fiber – Desktop, Rack-mountable – Lifetime Limited WarrantyUnlock 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
