EDIMAX Technology Pro XGS-5008 8-Port 10GbE Web Smart Switch

EDIMAX Technology Pro XGS-5008 8-Port 10GbE Web Smart Switch

EAN: 649659020924

With eight 10GbE ports, the Pro XGS-5008 8-Port 10GbE Web Smart Switch from Edimax is capable of handling bandwidth-intensive tasks such as streaming multimedia content, transferring large files, and more.

In addition to the eight high-speed network ports, this switch also comes equipped with a single RJ45 console port and a single 12 VDC power connector. Once configured, the XGS-5008 supports a 160 Gb/s switching capacity, a 119 Mpps forwarding rate, a 16K MAC address table, and a 16M memory buffer, all designed to provide enhanced network performance. Additionally, this Edimax switch is capable of supporting up to 16 VLANs and 4094 VLAN IDs along with port trunking, IGMP snooping, and enhanced QoS functionality to help prioritize traffic on the network. Installation is simple, as this switch can be easily inserted into an existing rackmount or simply place it on your desk for easy access to the network ports.

Smart Tools for Improved Network Efficiency

The XGS-5008 features smart network monitoring tools that allow for improved network efficiency. Security and management features include bandwidth control and VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and port-based VLAN). Using its web-based interface, administrators can set up VLANs to segregate traffic and configure link aggregation settings to create fat traffic pipelines. Additionally, these features offer extra protection on the network edge and the password-protected configuration interface can be accessed remotely.

Leverage Existing Infrastructure

The XGS-5008 is a simple, cost effective upgrade path to 10-Gigabit Ethernet, thanks to its backwards compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit networks using existing Cat 5e cabling. Simply upgrade to Cat 6a or better cabling to leverage 10GbE connectivity, with Cat 6 twisted pair networks also able to benefit from and leverage 10GbE Copper over shorter distances of up to 37m (with AXTLK) or 55m (without AXTLK). With an existing network infrastructure running Cat 6a or Cat 7 cabling, customers can benefit from higher-grade copper wiring than Cat 5e - supporting higher bandwidth requirements for 10GbE Copper up to 100m using RJ-45 connectors.

Extend Support for Converged Environments

With the increasing demand for bandwidth, growing data consumption, and widespread server/storage visualization adoption, the need for a 10 Gigabit solution is more critical than ever before. The rise in video and mobile data alone is straining Gigabit networks as more devices, users, and content all demand bandwidth. Over 90 percent of servers are now shipping with 10GbE port options, with data usage doubling nearly every two years.
