M4300: 25Gb / SFP28 Model?

Question

Hello:&nbsp;We are starting to use (and really like) the M4300 series switches.&nbsp; However 25Gb seems to be gaining traction.&nbsp;Is there a varient planned of the 8X8For 12X12F with the fiber ports supporting 25Gb SFP28 Ethernet?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you!David

The m4500 switches with 25gb SFP28 are now avaliable:&nbsp;https://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/managed/m4500.aspx
They do not stack with m4300's however.&nbsp;Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi&nbsp;pepRiCio&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Welcome to Community!
&nbsp;
Actually, M4300 Seriels switch not support 25G/SFP28 currently.
It only support 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G/40G in different modules.
For detailed info, please refer to&nbsp;here.
And we have plan to support 25G&amp;50G with SFP28 later on new type switch.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Hope it helps!
&nbsp;
Regards,
EricZ

@EricZ,&nbsp;Thank you for the information.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just to clarify, will 25Gb be coming&nbsp;as a new M4300 variety, or a whole new family?&nbsp;Is either case, will the new 25Gb stack seamlessly with the existing M4300 units?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you!

Thank you for the M4500 link.&nbsp; Those look very nice.&nbsp;Do you know if lower port count and lower cost varienrt are planned.&nbsp; Also will there be updates to stack with M4300, at least via SFP+ or with some feature limitations?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you again!
