netgear’s fs726 and fs750 modular fast ethernet switches are flexible, powerful, and easy-to-use network solutions. both switches have two front panel module bays that can be used with gigabit uplinks to create a high-performance backbone connection. each module bay accepts either a copper gigabit ethernet module (1000base-t, netgear model ag711t) or a fiber gigabit ethernet module (1000base-sx, netgear model ag711f). (modules are not included with the switches.) with the advantage of this modularity you can:

    · connect switches to each other with high-speed links

    · link up to high-speed servers

    · connect fiber and copper networks

    the netgear fs726 switch provides 24 shielded rj-45 network ports, while the netgear fs750 switch provides 48 shielded rj-45 network ports. all rj-45 ports on the fs726 and fs750 switches automatically negotiate to the highest speed, making the switches ideal for environments that have a mix of ethernet and fast ethernet devices. in addition, all 10/100 mbps ports operate in half- or full-duplex mode, increasing the maximum bandwidth of each connection up to 20 mbps or 200 mbps, respectively. both switch models support automatic address learning and ieee 802.3x-compliant flow control to ensure optimal packet reliability.

    the fs726 and fs750 switches can be free-standing or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room.
