As switched Fast Ethernet networks grow to serve more users and more
robust applications, the connections between devices can create sluggish
bottlenecks.

’s FS517
TS
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 FS517
TS
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.

A Gigabit port on the front panel provides connectivity to a Gigabit server or switch to
eliminate bottlenecks in high-performance networks.

A built-in 2000 Mbps stacking port allows you to stack the switch with NETGEAR
FS524
S
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 FS517
TS
Switch in the stack.

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, FS517
TS
includes automatic speed and full/half-
duplex sensing.
