Leading the Industry with the 2nd
Generation of 10-Gigabit Ethernet
Plus Switches, Purposely Designed
for SMB with Cost-Effective
10GBASE-T Connectivity and
Basic L2 Management Features
As a leading provider of network
equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR®
continues to lead the networking industry
with its 2nd Generation of 10-Gigabit
Ethernet Plus Switches. The XS708Ev2
and XS716E are the market’s most cost
efcient 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches.
Built for SMBs, workgroups, and even
home ofces, the XS708Ev2 provides 8
(eight) 10-Gigabit Copper ports and 1
Shared (Combo) Copper/SFP+ ber port,
while the XS716E provides 16 (sixteen)
10-Gigabit Copper ports and 1 Shared
(Combo) Copper/SFP+ ber port, all at an
affordable price.
These 10-Gigabit Ethernet Plus switches
are purposely designed as a cost-effective
way to provide 10G connections to
10G-capable servers and NAS (Network
Attached Storage) systems, and to meet
current and future needs on virtualization,
converged networking, and mobility,
removing the bottlenecks created by the
proliferation of Gigabit-to-the-desktop
and the explosion of wireless devices on
the network.
As part of the switch product family,
the XS708Ev2 and XS716E 10-Gigabit
Ethernet switches come with congurable
L2 network features such as VLAN,
QoS, IGMP snooping, port trunking/
link aggregation and rate limiting. These
features help to further optimize business
network performance, delivering great
value and empowering the SMB network.
Both switches feature an easy-to-use
web browser-based management GUI in
addition to plug-and-play connectivity.
The XS708Ev2 and XS716E are ideal
switches for SMBs in need of simple
and affordable 10-Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity into their 10G-capable
servers and storage devices. Either
can be used at the “center of a small
business or home ofce network” or as
an aggregation/access switch in a larger
organization, connecting to a 10-Gigabit
NETGEAR Fully Managed Switch on one
end and extending the 10G connections
to the edge. They are also ideal for smaller
workgroups that need high bandwidth
for sharing, collaborating, editing, and
publishing high-density content like video
or animation. Customers can use Cat6 or
Cat7 copper cables with standard RJ45
Ethernet jacks that are already widely
used in their current network. Network
speeds can improve up to 10x going from
traditional Gigabit to 10-Gigabit with
minimal network changes and upgrades.
