100M/1G/10G Rj-45 Ports; 1000/10Gbase-X Sfp+ Slots; Usb Port - NETGEAR XS708T Hardware Installation Manual

8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch

100M/1G/10G RJ-45 Ports

All copper RJ-45 ports support AutoSensing. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically ascertains the maximum speed (100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or 10 Gbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex
or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a Category 5e (Cat 5e) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable or higher rated Ethernet cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This technology allows
attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or crossover cables.
Note For 10GBASE-T ports, Ethernet specifications limit a Category 6 (Cat 6) cable length
between the switch and the attached device to 328 feet (100 meters).
When you insert a cable into the switch's RJ-45 port, the switch automatically performs the following actions:
• Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
• Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such as when you
are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as when you are connecting the
port to a router, switch, or hub).
• Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device. The Auto
Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections while eliminating concern about whether
to use crossover or straight-through cables when you attach devices.

1000/10GBASE-X SFP+ Slots

To enable high-speed fiber, copper, and long-distance connections on the switch, SFP+ slots accommodate
standard 10G and 1G SFP+ transceiver modules, which are sold separately.
The switch supports most NETGEAR ProSAFE SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules and Direct Attach
Cables (DAC), including:
• Short-reach transceiver modules
• Long-reach transceiver modules
For information about specific NETGEAR ProSAFE SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules and cables that
are supported for the switch, visit
ACCESSORIES tab, or see the datasheet for your specific switch.

USB Port

The switch provides one USB 2.0 port that lets you upload firmware, upload or download (back up) the
configuration settings file, and download a memory dump (for debugging purposes) using a USB storage
device.
The USB storage device that you attach to the USB port must comply with the following requirements:
• The USB device must support USB 2.0.
• The USB device must support the FAT32 or VFAT file type. The NTFS file type is not supported.
