. Each port automatically detects which speed is needed by the connected device & 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 switch gives the exact speed required with no downgrade. Also the NETGEAR Multi-Gigabit switch ports can connect regular CAT5e Ethernet cables without the need to upgrade to CAT6 wiring therefore reducing wiring costs & hassle. Access aggregation or collapsed core you can now have your PCs printers & routers/firewalls connected at 1G & aggregate Multi-Gigabit Ethernet devices on the same switch all line-rate. 10G copper & fiber ports are ready for local servers & storage or high-speed aggregation to your network core Key Product Info.
