NETGEAR® continues to lead the 
networking industry with the 
ProSAFE® Plus 10-Gigabit Switch 
(XS708E), the market’s first cost-
efficient 10-Gigabit switch. Built for 
Small and Medium Businesses, the 
XS708E provides eight (8) 10-Gigabit 
connectivity ports at a price that 
SMB customers can afford. With the 
enormous growth of network traffic 
and network storage in recent years, 
many SMBs, like their large Enterprise 
counterparts, are operating with 
big data, requiring their network to 
upgrade to 10G for better network 
performance and improved business 
efficiency. The XS708E is the right 
solution for this need.
The XS708E consists of eight 10G 
copper ports and one combo 10G 
Fiber SFP+ port. With 10GBASE-T 
support, the XS708E enables a 
standard RJ45 Ethernet jack and 
existing Cat 6
††
 
or Cat 7 network 
cables to be used, delivering a 10X 
increase in network performance 
with minimum network changes and 
upgrades. 
As part of the ProSAFE Plus switch 
product family, the XS708E provides 
plug-and-play 10-Gigabit Ethernet 
connectivity. It also comes with 
configurable L2 network features 
such as VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, 
port trunking and rate limiting. These 
features help to further optimize 
business network performance, 
delivering great value and 
empowering the SMB network.
The XS708E is ideal for SMBs that 
require simple, affordable 10G 
connectivity to their 10G-capable 
servers and storage devices.
