WhAT’S NEW

We are always working on adding new useful features to our products. Below is a list of recently added features to the Plus switch 
line. Be sure to take these features into consideration during the review.

• 

XS708E 

– The XS708E is the industry’s first affordable 10Gigabit switch for the SMB. It features eight 10GBase-T RJ45 ports 

and one 10Gigabit SfP+ fiber port. All for a ground breaking street price of $999 – making 10 Gigabit a reality for small to me-
dium businesses. The XS708E also supports standard Plus switch features such as VlAN, QoS, IGMP Snooping, port monitoring 
and in addition to that, also supports link Aggregation and is ideal for connecting 10 Gigabit capable servers and storage.
