Netgear XS308M 8-Port 10G/Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

Move high-volume traffic across copper cabling with eight 10G/Multi-Gigabit RJ45 interfaces. Each port automatically negotiates 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps, allowing existing mixed-speed endpoints to operate alongside newer 10 Gigabit equipment. The unmanaged operating mode forwards traffic without a management interface or configuration requirement. The Netgear XS308M-200NAS fits network segments where several bandwidth-intensive devices need direct high-speed Ethernet access. Common examples include an editing workstation group connected to shared storage, engineering systems exchanging large project files, or a small server room requiring multiple copper 10 Gigabit connections. Its eight all-copper Multi-Gigabit ports avoid the need to mix RJ45 endpoint connections with separate optical uplink hardware. A fanless design supports placement in offices, studios and other noise-sensitive areas. The switch can be installed on a desktop or rack mounted, giving network teams flexibility when adding capacity outside a full-size wiring closet. With 160 Gbps switching capacity, the XS308M is built for simultaneous high-speed traffic across its eight 10 Gigabit-capable ports rather than a single high-speed uplink feeding lower-speed access connections.
