NETGEAR GS728TXP (S3300-28X-PoE+) - 28-Port Gigabit Ethernet Stackable Smart Switch with 24 PoE+ Ports, 2 10G Copper Ports, and 2 10G SFP+ Ports

The S3300 series is the next generation of Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches with 4 10G ports that can be used for uplinks and/or stacking between other S3300 switches. Mixed stacking with select M4300 10G (12X12F and 24X) switches provides a 10G architecture that can scale as organizational networks grow and be powerful enough for servers and storage applications. As SMBs produce and consume more data, Gigabit to the desktop increasingly needs to connect to a 10GbE core to ensure a consistent and seamless user experience.

This new generation of switches provides SMB customers with the most cost-effective 10G connections between the access layer and network aggregation. The S3300 Smart Stackable series is a future-proof, reliable network scheme. The S3300 series sets new standards in defining flexibility and choice for small and medium-sized businesses looking to deploy reliable, future-proof technologies at an affordable price, from new network requirements to network refresh projects. Packed with a broad set of enterprise-class features and advanced security measures, it is the only advanced Smart Switch platform that offers both dedicated 10GBASE-T and SFP+ uplinks, as well as stack connectivity in PoE+ and non-PoE configurations – a combination that provides an unparalleled and powerful inter-system solution for access to core connectivity. With a choice of 24 or 48-port models, these switches can handle demanding tasks such as data replication and backup, video-on-demand, and high-volume transaction processing.

• Worry-free with NETGEAR Lifetime Warranty*, Lifetime Online Chat Technical Support, and Lifetime Next Business Day Replacement

Up to 6 switches in this series can be stacked for a total of 288 Gigabit network access ports with 40Gbps stacking bandwidth and full redundancy for unparalleled reliability. Add to this the ability to provide PoE+ to every port with an optional RPS, and a variety of applications are easily supported, from PTZ IP camera surveillance solutions to powerful wireless access points and VoIP phones. The inclusion of 10GBASE-T uplink capabilities as standard provides an affordable way to leverage existing copper installations – if Gigabit speeds and link aggregation meet current requirements, simply upgrade to 10GbE connectivity at the pace and time that suits your needs. With a Lifetime Warranty, Lifetime NBD, and Lifetime Online Chat Technical Support, you'll have access to advanced support to help protect your investment and reduce the risk of downtime in the long run.

True S3300 Stacking The NETGEAR stacking feature provides a resilient network architecture: up to six (6) S3300 switches can be stacked using a single management IP address, simplifying network operations. VLANs and QoS can be managed in a unified way across the entire stack. Up to 288 Gigabit access ports and 12 available 10 Gigabit uplinks provide support for high-density deployments, as well as flexibility for future network expansion needs. The S3300 architecture offers a 40Gbps bidirectional stacking backplane with two (2) 10Gbps stacking ports per switch, built-in redundancy, and automatic failover. The stacking capability allows for master and slave switches with a secondary master as a backup. The backup master can quickly take over the function of a failed master switch. Failed switches can be hot-swapped, and the remaining switches in the stack are unaffected and continue to operate. Please note that stacking is only supported at 10 Gigabit speeds (with 10GBASE-T Copper or SFP+ Fiber modules). 1G stacking is not supported. Now stack with 10G switches: For additional 10G connectivity, S3300 switches can be stacked with M4300-12X12X and M4300-24X 10G models. M4300 switches scale down to the S3300 feature set when mixed stacking. Four (4) 10G stacking ports per switch can be used on each M4300 model with S3300 code. S3300 1G models can still use two (2) 10G stacking ports during mixed stacking; the stacking topology remains unchanged.
