NETGEAR, Inc., the leading provider of networking products that power businesses both large and small, today launched the NETGEAR MS108TUP 8-Port Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet Ultra60 PoE++Smart Switch, purpose-built for growing businesses that need all-in-one, reliable, seamless connectivity.

The growing number of connected devices, use of data-and-power-hungry applications and increasing prevalence of "bring your own device" make it increasingly important for small and mid-sized businesses to have a modern networking solution to drive better performance. NETGEAR's cutting-edge line of Smart Switches is now joined by a new model that provides an option to business owners with smaller port count needs without sacrificing quality.




NETGEAR's Total Network Solution
The MS108TUP is part of the NETGEAR Total Network Solution, combining the recently announced PR60X Pro Router, Pro WiFi Access Points and Insight cloud management platform, helping small businesses to take advantage of the latest networking connectivity all from a single vendor. The uniform connection between devices allows for faster setup and more comprehensive management, ultimately giving business owners more time back to focus on the work of running their companies.

"Today's small and mid-sized businesses are more connected than ever, with WiFi-enabled tools powering day-to-day operations. These applications require multi-gigabit speeds and high PoE power to maximize their potential," said Iphie Chen, senior SMB product line manager at NETGEAR. "Business owners need solutions that cater to their specific needs while being easy to deploy and manage, especially for those that do not have IT resources onsite. As part of the Total Network Solution, the MS108TUP switch offers the speed, efficiency, reliability, and peace of mind of an enterprise solution without the associated complexity or price."

With four PoE++ ports, the MS108TUP can accommodate today's high-powered PoE++ powered devices, such as NETGEAR Pro WiFi Access Points, making it ideal for growing businesses. It offers impressive features such as multi-gigabit (2.5G) ports, enabling optimal performance by automatically adjusting speeds to match device requirements. Additionally, advanced functionality including IPv6 management, Access Control Lists (ACL), DiffServ QoS, IPv4 Static Routing, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) contribute to improved network performance, flexibility, and efficiency.

While a built-in web GUI management interface is included, setting up and managing the switch is even more convenient through the NETGEAR Insight cloud management platform. Insight provides comprehensive remote configuration and troubleshooting for NETGEAR Pro Routers, Pro WiFi Access Points, and Smart Cloud Managed Switches.

Furthermore, NETGEAR stands behind the product's reliability with a Limited Lifetime warranty and 24/7 technical support, ensuring peace of mind and expert assistance when needed.

Additional technical specifications include:
  • 8 Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet ports for flexible and auto-adaptive wired connectivity of high bandwidth devices - Connect devices instantly and give each device exactly the speed they need: 1G or 2.5G, automatically.
  • 230 W PoE budget available across 4 PoE++ (802.3bt 60 W/port) and 4 PoE+ (802.3at 30 W/port) ports—Connect multiple devices to your network with a single wire to each for connectivity and power.
  • Advanced per-port PoE controls - Flexible power management of PoE connected devices by enabling and disabling PoE power per port, PoE prioritization, PoE power limit per port, PoE scheduling and more. Simplifies management of wireless APs, IP security cameras, LED lighting, secure access door locks, IoT devices and more.
  • Uninterrupted PoE - Continuous PoE power, even when the switch is updating firmware or performing a software reboot.
  • PoE Self-Healing - Monitors the status of connected devices and provides a way to reset them if they become unresponsive or stop working properly.
  • Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) for maximum power savings—Latest energy-saving capabilities including per-port automatic change to a lower power mode when the port link is down, or idle.
  • Silent, fanless desktop operation—Silent operation with no fan noise for a quiet business environment.

The NETGEAR MS108TUP is available in the US now on NETGEAR.com for $489.99.

My thoughts exactly. At that price, I'd much rather have the Ubiquiti USW-Enterprise-8-PoE for $10 less. Who am I kidding, if I had to choose one, I'd pay $50 more for Ubiquiti versus Netgear.
I'm more flabbergasted that 2.5 Gbps switches are still as expensive as they are. I'd have thought that prices would've come down to below $200 by now.

I've been wanting to upgrade my network from 1 Gbps for some time now but at those prices? No thank you!

At that price it should be a all 10G Multi gig switch, instead of 2.5

Ridiculous price.

I picked up a couple of these YaunLey 2.5G non-managed switches with SFP+ ports on Amazon. My core switches are layer 3, with multigig SFP+ capabilities.

This Power over ethernet is there any use case for normal PC users? In Denmark the 2,5GB even unmanaged is poised with that standard but I really cant see any use case for it as a normal user?

They do sell a $150 unmanaged 5 port 2.5g switch, but I'm in total agreement, especially when 2.5G NICs can be found for $10 now.

Some can be had for cheap, I got a 5-port and an 8-port 2.5Gbps from Planex for $50 and $80 lately.
It's been only a month but rock solid so far, though running a bit warm to touch.

The MikroTik CRS310-8G+2S+IN is a Managed 8 port 2.5GbE switch with two SFP+10Guplink ports and while it is new and prices may be a bit elevated it can be found for about ~$239. Prices will likely go lower in due time:


I'd probably buy one myself but I already have a MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S+in 8 port SFP+ 10G port switch. I could still use it, I just don't have a pressing need for it. I'd probably be better served by one of those cheap ~$50 USD 2.5GbE unmanaged switches.

Octavean already linked over to ServeTheHome, but if that MikroTik doesn't tickle your fancy they also have a round-up article of 2.5Gb switches they plan to keep updating.

Yeah, I’ve been considering the VIMIN 6 Port 2.5G Unmanaged Network Switch (4X 2.5Gbase-T Ports, 2X 10G SFP) for ~$51.99.
