Netgear Prosafe® Plus Switch, 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet

Today's growing businesses are both placing more demands on and relying more on their network. Companies are putting more applications and demands on their Ethernet Infrastructure. Using VoIP phones and IP cameras require more than simple plug-and-play connectivity. Additionally, Internet-based applications such as Hotmail and 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 ProSafe Plus Switches meet this growing need by providing easy to use visibility and limited configuration capabilities. To provide more insight into the network behavior, ProSafe Plus Switches offer traffic monitoring for users to observe traffic behavior. Additionally, if there are connectivity issues, these switches offer a cable diagnostic test capability that can identify and even locate problems in the cables. To optimize traffic through the switches, ProSafe Plus Switches offer both port and tag-based prioritization to keep latency-sensitive traffic moving ahead of less critical packets. Also, as a means of improving security or managing collision domains, ProSafe Smart Switches offer VLAN technology. ProSafe Plus Switches offering these monitoring and configuration capabilities at a slight cost premium over un anaged switches, delivering great value to the end user.

• Use as a plug-and-play switch or use the configuration utility for simple setup
• 5 ports deliver up to 2000 Mbps bi-directional bandwidth on each port
• Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing network traffic
• Virtual LAN (VLAN) support for network segmentation and security
• Troubleshoot connection problems via cable test
• Port mirroring
• Bandwidth management to avoid network congestions
• Network traffic monitoring
• Broadcast storm control

Engineered with plug-and-play features, this switch can be used to directly connect as many as five different computers or multiple peripheral devices to your network. You can use it as a platform for virtual network groups or as a support option for monitoring your network. With this switch, you can also prioritize your traffic to guarantee uninterrupted dataflow for your sensitive packets.

Safe and Effective Transmission
This switch is engineered with port mirroring, which gives you a convenient option for monitoring your network traffic. This allows you to minimize your traffic congestion and prevent data leakage, without disrupting your data flow. With its port mirroring feature, you can also monitor the behavior of incoming packets, increasing your protection against unauthorized traffic.

Green Design
Cut down on your power consumption by integrating this switch into your network. Compared to conventional switches, it uses 60 percent less energy and features a convenient power-down mode, which conserves energy whenever a port is not being used. Manufactured from 80 percent recycled materials, this switch is safe for use within the workplace and automatically adjusts its power transmission to fit with your cable length.

Intuitive Technology
This switch is engineered to optimize data transmission between multiple systems. If the network is congested or suffering connection difficulties, you will find a convenient cable diagnostic test that enables you to hone in on the chocked areas. In addition, this switch offers multiple tag-based prioritization options, which you can use in assigning the importance of different packets.

Easy Integration
No manuals or advanced setup are required. The switch is ready to be used once it is powered and linked to your network devices.
