  • 40Gbps non-blocking fabric prevents congestion across all ports
  • VLAN, QoS and IGMP Snooping via web GUI enable traffic control
  • Desktop or wall mounting with included hardware fits any layout

8-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Switch

The Netgear MS308E-100NAS is an 8-port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet switch built for small offices and home workspaces. It delivers managed networking features through an intuitive web interface. A fanless metal chassis ensures silent operation on a desk or wall mount.

Suits SOHO networks needing VLANs and QoS

Businesses that require traffic segmentation, prioritisation and basic monitoring will benefit from the Plus management layer. Installations needing Power over Ethernet for access points or cameras must choose a different model because this switch does not supply PoE.

40Gbps non-blocking switching fabric

The internal fabric handles 40Gbps line-rate throughput across all eight RJ45 ports without congestion. This capacity determines whether the switch can sustain full 2.5G speeds on every connected device simultaneously.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 5-port or 8-port version for a small office?

The 8-port MS308E provides eight 2.5G RJ45 ports, giving three extra wired connections over the 5-port model for additional workstations, NAS units or access points.

What does the 40 Gbps non-blocking fabric mean for daily use?

It means all eight 2.5G ports can run at full line rate simultaneously without internal congestion, so large file transfers and video streams do not bottleneck inside the switch.

Which Ethernet standard does the switch use and what speed does it cap at?

The switch uses IEEE 802.3bz 2.5GBASE-T on twisted-pair copper, capping each port at 2.5 Gbps while remaining backward compatible with 1G and 100M devices.
