Insight Managed 28-Port and 52-Port Gigabit Ethernet (PoE+) Smart Cloud Switch
Note: Changes to Insight-manageable settings from the local browser interface
might also create conflicts with the rest of the Insight-managed network to which
the device is connected. While you manage the switch with the local browser
interface, you cannot use the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal. To reenable
management of the device remotely or through the cloud, you can return the
management mode to NETGEAR Insight App at any time so that you can manage
the switch with the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal.
For more information about the local browser interface, see the user manual, which
you can download from downloadcenter.netgear.com.
Note: The switch is designed for management by the NETGEAR Insight app on a
smartphone or tablet. Alternatively, you can manage the switch from the Insight
Cloud portal that is available from a web browser on your Windows-based computer,
Mac, or tablet. By default, the local browser interface is disabled and you cannot use
it while the switch is managed by the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud portal.
You can install the switch freestanding (on a desktop) or in a standard 19-inch rack,
using the included rack-mount kit. The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency.
All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the switch very
suitable for a mixed environment with Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.
For Gigabit Ethernet connections, use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet
cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
Features
The switch includes the following key hardware features:
• Twenty-four (models GC728X and GC728XP) or forty-eight (models GC752X and
GC752XP) Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• Two dedicated Gigabit SFP fiber ports.
• Two dedicated 10G SFP+ fiber ports.
• One USB port (for configuration files, firmware updates, and debug logs).

-
Twenty-four (model GC728XP) or forty-eight (model GC752XP) ports PoE+ (IEEE
802.3at)
