Today's growing businesses demand & rely more on their network to carry out mission-critical business activities. Companies are putting more network traffic & applications on their Ethernet infrastructure. For example, the increasing deployments of Vo IP phones & IP cameras require more than simple plug-&-play connectivity. It needs the network intelligence to separate the voice & video traffic from data, & prioritize them accordingly. in addition, Internet-based applications such as Hotmail & Google Calendaring have made keeping the network up a business-critical need. However, companies do not necessarily have more money or advanced training to deal with complex managed switches. NETGEAR's new Pro Safe Plus Switches meet this growing need by providing fundamental network features that will help optimize the performance of business networks. Pro Safe Plus Switches also offer traffic monitoring for users to observe traffic behavior. If there are connectivity issues, these switches can identify & even locate connection problems via cable diagnostic test. To optimize traffic through the switches, Pro Safe Plus Switches offer both port & tag-based prioritization to keep latency-sensitive traffic moving ahead of less critical packets. Also, Pro Safe Plus Switches offer port & 802.1Q-based VLAN as a means of improving security & network performance. Pro Safe Plus Switches are an upgrade from the plug-&-play Unmanaged Switch, delivering great value for empowering your network, delivering great value to the end user. Features Pro Safe Plus Switch delivers network monitoring, traffic prioritization & VLAN 16 ports deliver up to 2000 Mbps of dedicated, non-blocking bandwidth per port Simple, yet useful network set-up on top of plug-&-play connectivity Gigabit speed with Qo S, VLAN & network monitoring VLAN support for traffic segmentation Quality of Service (Qo S) for traffic prioritization Auto 'denial-of-service' (Do S) prevention Troubleshoot connection issues via cable test Loop prevention & broadcast storm controls IGMP snooping for multicast optimization Rate limiting for better bandwidth allocation Port mirroring for network monitoring Jumbo Frame support Port Connector: RJ-45 Fixed Port Speed: 10/100/1000 Mbps
