M4300 10G Copper ports support 2.5G and 5G?
So.... I’m noticing that my M4300 8x8 doesn’t support 2.5G speed on its 10G ports?
Hi KD6ICZ
Thank you for using the M4300 series!
You are correct, this M4300-8X8F switch doesn't offer 2.5G on its 10GBASE-T ports, as stated in the M4300 datasheet and all other collaterals, product page etc.
Please check, only the M4300-16X and the M4300-96X offer this capability (2.5G and 5G speeds on their 10GBASE-T ports)
I hope this helps,
Regards,
- So from the data sheet you referenced to, none of the units that have SFP+ and copper 10G ports support 2.5 or 5G?
The M4300-96X will do it for you, with as many SFP+ ports you want, and as many 10GBASE-T copper port you want, up to the 96-port count max (combined). You can start as low as 8 SFP+ and 8 10GBASE-T Copper, in your case for instance.
You can configure your M4300-96X here: https://www.netgear.com/landings/M4300-96X-configurator/
Let us know how it goes!

- Got it! That unit appears to be out of my budget for my home network. But if I see a used one pop up on eBay I’ll see what I can do.
