Netgear Inc. GS728TP-200NAS 24-port Gigabit PoE+ network switch 190W

24-port Gigabit PoE+ switch for IP deployments

The GS728TP-200NAS delivers 24 RJ45 ports at 10/100/1000 Mbps plus four 1000BASE-X SFP uplinks for fibre backhaul. It supplies 802.3at PoE+ on every copper port with a 190 W total budget, powering access points, cameras or VoIP handsets without separate injectors. A web browser interface handles initial setup and ongoing management. Rack-mountable and fan-optimised, it runs at 31 dB in a 25 °C room.

190 W PoE+ budget and copper distance limits

Each port can provide up to 30 W, but the shared 190 W pool means only a subset of ports can draw maximum power simultaneously; plan device counts accordingly. Gigabit over twisted pair is restricted to 100 m per link, so remote endpoints beyond that range require the SFP fibre ports or intermediate switches. The 1.5 MB packet buffer absorbs short bursts but does not eliminate congestion under sustained oversubscription.

16K MAC table and 32 static routes for Layer 3 lite

The 16K MAC address table supports moderate device populations, while 32 IPv4/IPv6 static routes handle basic inter-VLAN routing without a full router. Features such as VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, LACP, SNMP and ACL cover typical SMB policies. It is not a core aggregation switch: no stacking, no dynamic routing protocols and a single fixed internal PSU limit high-availability designs.
