Introducing a new Gigabit Multi-Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Family for future-proof deployments Businesses need to be ready for future expansion: with incoming new multispeed devices their wired network needs to expand its reach and scope to support speeds greater than 1 Gigabit. The IEEE 802.3bz standard paved the way for new 2.5 Gigabit and 5 Gigabit speeds in addition to legacy 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit per second. New servers workstations storage devices and motherboards are coming with 802.3bz (NBASE-T) Multi-Gigabit Ethernet for 2.5X to 5X faster speeds up to 100 meters (323 feet) on legacy CAT5e / CAT6 cables. That is why NETGEAR launched its new Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switches with 10G Copper/Fiber Uplinks. 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 MS510TX and MS510TXPP give the exact speed required with no downgrade. Also the new NETGEAR Multi-Gigabit switch ports can connect regular CAT5e Ethernet cables without the need to upgrade to CAT6 wiring therefore reducing wiring costs and hassle. Access Aggregation or Collapsed Core: You can now have your PCs printers and routers/firewalls connected at 1G and aggregate Multi-Gigabit Ethernet new devices on the same switch all line-rate. 10G copper and fiber ports are ready for local servers and storage or high-speed aggregation to your network core.
