Boost the switching capacity of your small business with the Netgear managed switch (Netgear 8-port managed switch, Netgear 12 port PoE switch, Netgear 16-port managed switch & Netgear switch 24-port). Capable of up to 16 Gb/s of total switching bandwidth, this unmanaged switch comes equipped with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Four of those 8 ports support PoE (Power over Ethernet), ideal for powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-capable devices.
Support for the Energy-Efficient Ethernet standard helps the plug-and-play switch to conserve power, while auto-MDI/MDIX support eliminates the need for crossover cables. The switch’s 802.1p QoS capabilities allow for traffic prioritization, while its fanless design helps to ensure quiet operation.

What is the best Netgear managed switch in 2020?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides power and network connectivity for PoE-powered devices over a single network cable. It’s a 2 in 1 solution, so you don’t have to worry about placing your devices next to a power outlet. PoE devices range from wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, PoE LED lighting, PoE speakers to IoT doorbells and other IoT devices. These devices are powered and in some cases manageable by our PoE switches.
1. Netgear 12 port PoE switch
The Netgear 12 port PoE switch GSM5212P consist of 12-port Gigabit with PoE+ connectivity, and 4-port dual-speed SFP with fiber connectivity. Intelligent Edge series deliver a secure and flexible access in campus, commercial and enterprise converged environments: Wireless access points, IP telephony and video-surveillance.
The NETGEAR® Intelligent Edge M4100 series consists of 12 fully managed switches, ranging from 8-port Fast Ethernet to 50-port Gigabit Ethernet. They are ideal for all organizations considering reliable, affordable and simple access layer switching with CLI, advanced scripting capabilities and Layer 3 routing.
As a cost-effective component of converged voice, video and data networking solutions, Netgear 12 port PoE switch series delivers a secure edge in commercial buildings and campus LAN environments: PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at) versions of M4100 series are perfect for Wireless access points, IP telephony and IP surveillance deployments.

2. Netgear switch 24-port
Today’s growing businesses demand and rely more on their network to carry out mission-critical business activities. Companies are putting more network traffic and applications such as VoIP phones and IP cameras on their Ethernet infrastructure. It needs the network intelligence to separate the voice and video traffic from data, and prioritize them accordingly. However, companies do not necessarily have more money or advanced training to deal with complex managed switches.
Netgear switch 24-port meets this growing need by providing fundamental network features that will help optimize the performance of business networks. On top of the plug-N-play Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, these switches also offer essential networking features such as VLAN, QoS, IGMP Snooping, Link Aggregation (LAG), rate limiting and traffic monitoring. NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Switches are an exceptional value for businesses looking to add intelligence to their network beyond what unmanaged switches can provide.; Netgear; Netgear switch 24-port; Networking; VOIP Terminal Adapters
