Sfp And Sfp+ Ports For Fiber Or Copper Connectivity; Ports For 10/100/1000M Base-T Ethernet Connectivity - NETGEAR GS728TXPv3 Hardware Installation Manual

24-Port and 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Switches with 4 SFP Ports or 4 10G SFP+ Ports
RJ-45 ports for 10/100/1000M BASE-T
Ethernet connectivity
All RJ-45 copper ports support autosensing. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port,
the switch automatically detects the maximum speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps)
and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support
a Category 5e (Cat 5e) 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
technology. This technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either
straight-through or crossover cables.
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.
All copper ports also support Power over Ethernet (PoE+).
SFP and SFP+ ports for fiber or copper
connectivity
To enable fiber or additional copper connections on the switch, SFP and SFP+ ports
accommodate standard small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converters
(GBICs, also referred to as transceiver modules) for 1G fiber or copper connectivity and,
for models GS728TXPv3 and GS752TXPv3, 10G fiber or copper connectivity. GBICs are
sold separately from the switch.
