NETGEAR FS526T 24-port Smart Switch
Introduction
Two Gigabit Ports Plus Easy Browser-based Management
NETGEAR’s Smart Switch delivers built-in gigabit power at a very attractive
price. With the utility of 24 10/100 Mbps ports and 2 copper Gigabit Ethernet
ports, growing business networks can benefit from superior performance and
keep up with expanding network needs. This high-performance switch connects to
servers or a Gigabit-speed backbone for a non-stop 10/100/1000-enabled network
that can quickly deliver large multimedia, image, and video files.
All 26 RJ-45 ports automatically negotiate to the highest speed and support Auto Uplink™ technology to make the right link. In addition, an intuitive, Web-browser interface offers simple switch management, making it a snap to monitor switch performance, configure ports, even set up port trunks, VLANs, and traffic prioritization. Shipped ready for use straight out of the box, it delivers switching that’s easy to set up and use.
