Netgear XS505M 5-Port 10G/Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

Expand a small high-speed network with four copper Multi-Gigabit connections and a dedicated 10G SFP+ uplink. The XS505M automatically forwards Ethernet traffic without VLAN, routing, or switch-management setup, making it suited to workgroups that need higher bandwidth between local systems rather than policy-based network control. Four RJ45 interfaces support Ethernet devices operating at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, or 10 Gbps. This allows older Gigabit endpoints and newer multi-gig workstations to connect on the same switch while each port negotiates its own link speed. The fifth interface uses 10G SFP+ media, providing a separate path for a fiber transceiver or direct-attach copper connection to upstream networking equipment. XS505M-200NAS supplies the five-port North American ordering configuration of the Netgear XS505M. Its port arrangement separates four flexible copper edge connections from one SFP+ uplink, a useful layout where local endpoints require RJ45 connectivity but the network backbone already uses 10G SFP+ links. Use it to consolidate a compact 10G-capable segment around storage, compute, editing, engineering, or other bandwidth-intensive endpoints.
