GS724T - Is there a rear port alternative
The GS724Tv4 is a front port switch.
Is there an alternative similar switch with rear ports?

JohnC_V it would be something to considered for Netgear for specifying all coming-up new switch model enclosures so the rack mount wings could be mounted in the front and in the back. Don't task the designer of the BR500 router - that one is interestingly a rear port only device 8-)

The ears will always be mounted on the opposite side from the power input. There would be no logical reason to allow the ears to mount on both sides.
In many racks though, all wiriing connections happen in the rear with the front just being lights, LEDs, power cut off, etc. A very nice clean rack look. Wire it once (and adjust as necessary from rear access), and then monitor from the clean front.
