NETGEAR XS724TM — 24-Port 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switch with 4 Dedicated SFP+ Ports and Optional Insight Remote/Cloud Management

NETGEAR XS724TM Smart Managed 10‑Gigabit Switch for SMB Networks

The NETGEAR XS724TM is a smart managed 10‑Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for
small to mid‑size business networks that need high‑speed copper connectivity with simplified management.
Positioned between unmanaged and fully managed enterprise switches, the XS724TM delivers powerful 10G performance,
advanced Layer 2+ features, and cost‑effective scalability for growing networks.

High‑Density 10GBASE‑T Copper Connectivity

The XS724TM features 24 × 10GBASE‑T copper ports, supporting 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds
over standard Ethernet cabling. This makes it ideal for connecting high‑performance servers, NAS devices,
virtualisation hosts, and advanced workstations without requiring immediate fibre upgrades.

Flexible 10G Fibre Uplinks

To support aggregation and backbone connectivity, the switch includes dedicated 10G SFP+ fibre ports,
allowing seamless integration with fibre cores, data‑centre switches, or high‑speed distribution layers.
This flexibility enables hybrid copper‑and‑fibre network designs that can evolve over time.

Smart Managed Layer 2+ Feature Set

The XS724TM provides a rich set of smart managed features including VLANs, link aggregation, quality of service (QoS),
static routing, and multicast optimisation. These capabilities allow SMB IT teams to segment traffic,
prioritise critical applications such as voice and video, and improve overall network efficiency
without the complexity of full enterprise L3 management.

Simplified Web‑Based Management

An intuitive web‑based management interface makes the XS724TM easy to deploy and maintain.
The interface provides visibility into port status, traffic flows, and configuration settings,
helping IT teams manage high‑speed networks with minimal training or overhead.

Reliable, Business‑Ready Design

Built for continuous operation, the XS724TM features a robust chassis and efficient cooling suitable
for server rooms and wiring closets. Its rack‑mount form factor integrates cleanly
into standard network racks, making it a dependable choice for SMB core or aggregation deployments.
