NETGEAR FS524S - Switch - Stackable User manual

NETGEAR’s FS524sStackable Switch connects multiple PCs together
with web, print, file, and e-mail servers, as well as routers.The 2 dedicated
stacking ports on the back of each switch allow you full use of the 24 Fast
Ethernet ports on the front.You can grow your network up to 96 users with
additional switches, using a robust backbone bandwidth of up to 4000 Mbps.
POWERFUL
Stacking 4 Gigabit connection gives 24-10/100 ports high-performance data transfer and
eliminates bottlenecks between switches
COST-EFFECTIVE
Gives you the same throughput you'd get with a more expensive 24+2 copper gigabit switch,
but for much less money. With the FS524s, you can expand your network without paying for
extras—the stacking port is built-in and the stacking cable is included.
EXPANDABLE
Provides connectivity for up to 4 switches, enabling your network to support as many as
96 users and allowing for incremental network growth as your budget allows.
SELF-HEALING
If one box in a stack fails, the others continue to communicate.
HASSLE-FREE
Everything for stacking is included and installation is easy—it’s Plug and Play.
