Switch Standards
Hello, everyone, I have a question about the switch XS708T, 10-Gigabit-Smart-Managed-Pro. What LAN standards is it backward compatible with? I have only found information containing 1 GbT and 1...
@ all
I have a solution that is really smart.
I buy a 10GbT NIC and install it into the PC. A PCI-e 3 x 16 interface is still available on the PC. Then the PC is ready for 10GbT. The NIC costs about 99,- €.
The XS724EM is not an alternative. 24 ports are clearly too many and beyond the budget.
My solution would be a switch with the following specifications:
max. 8 ports (1GbT, 5GbT, 10GbT)
Regarding the XS708T:
An alternative could also be GBIC which can be built into one of the two SFP+ slots. It would only have to support 5GbT or am I making a mistake?
Does Netgear offer something like this or can you take any one?

The XS512EM switch has 12 RJ-45 copper ports that supports 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T.

The 1G/10G SFP+ ports of the XS708T are shared (or combo) ports. The XS708T does not support 5GBASE-T.
