Netgear Introduces new Smart Managed PoE+ Switches

NETGEAR introduced three new ProSAFE Smart Managed Switches to support dense deployment of modern, high-power devices requiring Power-Over-Ethernet and PoE+. The new standalone switches are designed with varying PoE port counts and PoE power budgets to meet most needs.

The three new NETGEAR Smart Managed Switches offer PoE+ functionality along with Layer 2+ and Layer 3 Lite features, specially designed for converged networks where voice, video, and data are carried on a single network platform. The three new systems are the ProSAFE Easy-Mount 16-Port 240W PoE+, the ProSAFE 8-Port 190W PoE+, and the ProSAFE 8-Port 75W PoE+.

The GS418TPP Easy-Mount 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch (Pictured above) comes with 16 PoE+ copper ports and 2 dedicated Gigabit SFP fibre ports. With a 240W PoE power budget, these switches provide a lot of room for expansion of PoE devices. The slim design, one-direction facing connections, and the NETGEAR Virtually Anywhere mounting system, the switch can be placed pretty much anywhere. Vertical, horizontal, flat, or perpendicular placement, it’s all possible. Whether it’s on a wall, strapped to a pole, under a desk or tabletop, in air passageways, or above drop-down ceilings, the GS418TPP will fit.

The GS510TPP 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch has 8 PoE+ copper ports and 2 dedicated SFP ports for fibre uplinks. It comes with a 190W power budget that provides more than enough headroom to make the GS510TPP a wise purchase to support denser deployment of PoE+ devices.

The GS510TLP 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch offers 8 PoE+ copper ports and 2 dedicated SFP ports for fibre uplinks. This one only comes with a reasonable PoE power budget of 75W, but that might be enough for your setup.

All three come with intelligent fan speed control and should deliver a pleasant working environment in comparison with rack mounted switches that usually run with full-speed fan profiles 24/7.
