pre-sales support?
Where can I get some technical questions answered to help me choose which exact models of switches to order for my client? I've spent a good deal of time wading through the web site here, and the...
Variant 1
Smart Managed Pro Gigabit/10G SFP+ Switches with optional Remote/Cloud Management
Standalone local or cloud management, 2xSFP+ 10Gb, 2xSFP 1G), 28 and 52 port variants, PoE+ variants with 24 (max 390W) resp. 48 (max 505W). About 750 USD each at 52 PoE ports variant.
Variant 2
S3300 - Gigabit Stackable Smart Managed Pro Switches with 10G Copper/Fiber Uplinks
Stackable (max 4x10Gb), 28 and 52 port variants, PoE+ variants with 12 (max 195W) resp. 24 (max 390W). 450...1200 USD each.
Variant 3
M4300-28G/-54G, M4300-28G-PoE+ (550W or 1000W power supplies), M4300-54G-PoE+ (550W or 1000W power supplies) - all with 2xSFP+ 10Gb, 2x RJ45 10 Gb. USD 990 ... 1990 ... 2250 USD each. Two of the biggest ones for the list price (~USD 3900 of one Adtran 1560) - plus the best in class and unique IGMP Multicast implementation for audio and AV over IP.
Variant 4
My advise is to go for a platform supporting more than just 1G towards the clients computers and 10G stacking if really re-doing the network. Everything up to 5Gb would work on an existing CAT5a cabling. Current Wi-Fi 6 access points use 2.5G, more and more business noteboks come with 2.5G, business workstations come with MultiGig up to 5 or 10 Gb. A possible approach would be heading for the modular M4300-96X, with the required amount of 10GBASE-T (Fast Ethernet, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds) 8 x 10GBASE-T port card and 8 x 10GBASE-T PoE+ port card, plus e.g one of the 8 x SFP+ port card, and/or a 40G QSFP+ Ports with two QSFP+ (4x10G and 40G speeds) for connecting servers or edge switches, ... everything paired with a pair of redundant power supplies based on the PoE+ needs. That makes a switch set-up good for at least the next decade - not just a year or two on plain GbE. Welcome 2021!
Hello frevi
To start with your switch offering, keep posting your questions and customer requirements here in the community.
Several knowledgeable people here who can provide some guidelines and initial directions on the extremely wide spectrum from the Smart Managed Plus over the Smart Managed Pro (with various feature sets) up to the top of the line Managed Switch series.
Depending if the direction things are going, we can assist in finding Netgear contacts if it goes towards a mid or large scale IT network or an AV network project.

And yes, designators like "GSM4352PA M4300-52G-PoE+ 48x1G PoE+ Stackable Managed Switch with 2x10GBASE-T and 2xSFP+ (550W PSU)" does not make things easier for us Netgear customers and community members out here, indeed.
The exact model designators are always listed on the data sheets according your region and market. For example here -> M4300 Series ProSAFE® Intelligent Edge Managed Switches Data Sheet - last page "Ordering Information". If you need a M4300-52G-PoE+ wiht a 550W power supply in the north Americas or Europe order a "GSM4352PA-100NES". the one with a 720W for the same two markets is for example "GSM4352PB-100NES".
