Managed Gigabit PoE Switch Netgear GS728TXUP — 24 × 10/100/1000 RJ-45, 128 Gbps, 1U, rack-mount

Netgear GS728TXUP is a managed Gigabit PoE switch designed for rack-mounted network environments. It provides 24 RJ-45 Gigabit (10/100/1000) ports and supports Power over Ethernet to power compatible devices. With a 16,000-entry MAC address table and 128 Gbit/s switching capacity in a 1U form factor, the switch supports VLANs, QoS and secure access for small and medium business or enterprise edge deployments. NETGEAR Insight cloud management is included for one year to simplify deployment, monitoring and remote management.

Advantages

The switch combines PoE capability with full Gigabit throughput and a large MAC address table to support multiple connected devices and services. Its managed feature set enables VLAN segmentation, traffic prioritization with QoS and secure administrative access. The 1U rack-mount design fits standard network cabinets and the 128 Gbit/s switching capacity provides non-blocking performance for typical SMB edge workloads. Cloud-based Insight management allows local or remote control from a single interface.

Suitable for

• Small and medium business network edge
• PoE-powered devices such as access points, VoIP phones and cameras
• Rack-mounted wiring closets and server rooms

Key specifications

• Ports: 24 × 10/100/1000 RJ-45
• Power over Ethernet: AC/PoE support
• Switching capacity: 128 Gbit/s
• MAC address table: 16,000 entries
• Form factor: 1U, rack-mountable
• Managed switch with VLAN and QoS support
• 10G support on appropriate uplink ports

How to use

Mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the included brackets. Connect the device to AC power and link uplinks to your network core or router. Attach endpoints to the RJ-45 ports; PoE-capable ports will deliver power to compatible devices. Configure network settings, VLANs and QoS either locally through the switch management interface or remotely using the NETGEAR Insight cloud platform included for the first year.

Recommendations

For consistent PoE delivery, verify total power budget and connected device requirements before full deployment. Use VLANs and QoS to segment traffic and prioritize real-time services such as VoIP and surveillance. Keep firmware updated and restrict management access to authorized administrators.
