Chapter 1 Introduction - NETGEAR GS728TPv3 Hardware Installation Manual

1
Introduction
This hardware installation guide is for the following NETGEAR Smart Switches with
optional Remote/Cloud Management via the NETGEAR Insight network management
cloud portal and app:
• GS728TPv3: 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Switch with 4 SFP Ports (190W)
• GS728TPPv3: 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Switch with 4 SFP Ports (380W)
• GS752TPv3: 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Switch with 4 SFP Ports (380W)
• GS752TPPv3: 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Switch with 4 SFP Ports (760W)
The switch provides twenty-four or forty-eight Gigabit RJ-45 copper PoE+ ports with
four dedicated SFP ports. Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) provides power to
PoE-capable devices such as WiFi access points, VoIP phones, and IP security cameras
so that you don't need to use power adapters for those devices.
The maximum PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) power that the switch can provide across all active
PoE+ ports depends on the model:
190W for model GS728TPv3, 380W for models GS728TPPv3 and GS752TPv3, and 760W
for model GS752TPPv3.
This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your

• Overview
• Management options
