FS726T
ProSafe 24 Port 10/100 Smart Switch
with 2 Gigabit Ports
Two Gigabit Ports Plus Easy Browser - based Management
NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches fill the gap between unmanaged and fully managed
switches. The family of ProSafe Smart Switches is designed for growing businesses that
want control over their network without the cost and complexity of a full Layer 2/Layer 3
management implementation. This second generation Smart Switch, FS726T, with affordable
built-in gigabit power, easily 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. With the utility of 24 10/100 Mbps ports, 2 copper 10/100/1000 ports and an SFP slot
for optional fiber connectivity, growing business networks, classrooms and workgroups can
benefit from superior performance and keep up with expanding network needs. This high-
performance switch features a non-blocking wire-speed architecture with an 8.8Gbps switch-
ing capacity for maximum data throughput. 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 the simple Smart Switch management,
making it a snap to monitor switch performance, configure ports, even set up port trunks,
VLANs, and traffic prioritization. Alternatively, use SNMP-based software to manage your
Smart Switch.** Shipped ready for use straight out of the box, it delivers switching that’s easy
to set up and use. NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches are ideal for adding basic management
to your unmanaged networks and extending your managed networks.
** Firmware upgrade available Q2 2005
Two RJ-45 copper Gigabit ports and an SFP slot for optional fiber make it possible to create
high-speed connections to a server or network backbone whether it’s nearby or far away, Auto-
Negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, 1000Mbps)
and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance.
Web-based Smart management features include performance monitoring, port configuration, VLAN
for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic
prioritization.
