NetGear ProSafe 24 Port Fast 10100 Smart Switch with 2 Gigabit Ports PoE

12 of the 24 ports available with the FS726TP Fast smart switch can be utilised to supply Power over Ethernet PoE, using the industry standard IEEE 802.3af. With PoE your business can easily deploy wireless access points, IP based surveillance cameras and VoIP telephones. PoE enables you to position these devices on a ceiling or high up on a wall, typically away from most electrical sockets. This ability to be able to place devices anywhere, even where AC power is not available or difficult to install, significantly lowers deployment costs. With PoE electricians and extension reels are not required. The FS726TP joins NETGEAR's family of smart switches, offering key management features for the price on an unmanaged switch. NETGEAR's family of ProSafe Smart Switches are designed for growing businesses that want control over their network without the cost and complexity of a full Layer 2 or Layer 3 management implementation. Use the FS726TP smart switches to either add simple management to your unmanaged networks or extend managed networks. An intuitive, Web browser interface offers easy access to the simple Smart Switch management, making it effortless to monitor switch performance, configure ports, even set up port trunks, VLANs, and traffic prioritisation. Alternatively you can use SNMP based Simple Network Management Protocol software to manage your Smart Switch. Shipped ready for use straight out of the box, the FS726TP delivers switching that's easy to set up and use. As well as the 24 Fast Ethernet ports, the FS726TP Fast smart network switch features 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each capable of powering 2000 Mbps of data throughput in full duplex mode. These 2 Gigabit ports are ideal for connectivity to demanding users or servers. The two optional fiber ports** enable secure, long distance connections. As fiber connections are far less prone to interference than standard Ethernet cables, communications to the network's backbone or servers are better p
