Put a Gigabit connection in your Fast Ethernet stack 10/100/1000 Mbps Stacking Fast Ethernet Switch FS517TS Help is there when you need it! NETGEAR provides free, 7x24 telephone and e-mail technical support in English, with selected local language support during office hours. As switched Fast Ethernet networks grow to serve more users and more robust applications, the connections between devices can create sluggish bottlenecks. N E T G E A R 's FS517TS Stackable Fast Ethernet Switch features a copper Gigabit port that alleviates the problem while delivering a new level of cost-efficiency for Gigabit networks. The FS517TS presents multiple configuration options with 16 Fast Ethernet ports and a dedicated Gigabit port on the front panel. The 17th Gigabit port is used to connect to Gigabit servers or Gigabit switches to provide a high-speed connection from your stack to the rest of your network. GIGABIT CONNECTIVITY A Gigabit port on the front panel provides connectivity to a Gigabit server or switch to eliminate bottlenecks in high-performance networks. POWERFUL STACKABILITY A built-in 2000 Mbps stacking port allows you to stack the switch with NETGEAR FS524S switches for scaling the network up to 224 10/100 Mbps connections. Adding another Gigabit connection to the network is as simple as putting a second FS517TS Switch in the stack. SIMPLIFIED SET-UP Installation is simple and the equipment required for stacking and/or racking is included. Auto Uplink™ automatically makes the appropriate link for the configuration. And as with all of NETGEAR's unmanaged switches, FS517TS includes automatic speed and full/halfduplex sensing. www.NETGEAR.com
