NETGEAR GS728TXUP-300NAS 24-Port PoE++ Smart Switch with 10G SFP+

Overview

The GS728TXUP-300NAS is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE++ smart switch engineered for medium to large surveillance deployments where you need to feed 20+ cameras on a single management tier. The model supplies up to 720W of PoE++ (802.3bt) power across the 24 ports, delivering enough juice for PTZ cameras, dual-sensor systems, and high-bitrate edge analytics boxes without stacking inline injectors. Two 10G SFP+ uplink ports handle the aggregated video stream from all ports, reducing backhaul bottlenecks and keeping your NVR or VMS ingestion clean. Smart management features—VLAN segmentation, QoS per port, IGMP snooping—let you isolate camera traffic from office networks and prioritize critical zones. Compact 1U form factor fits standard 19-inch racks.

Compatibility

Works with any PoE-compliant IP camera or edge device that accepts 802.3at (PoE+) or 802.3bt (PoE++) input. Supports ONVIF-conformant VMS systems (Milestone, Axis Camera Station, Hikvision iVMS, generic ONVIF platforms). The 10G SFP+ uplinks are compatible with standard LC-duplex fiber optic modules and 10G Ethernet network infrastructure. Pairs with standard PoE+ and PoE++ injectors for non-networked power devices if needed, though the switch itself eliminates that need for most camera deployments.

Installation Notes

Mount in a 19-inch rack using standard mounting brackets (included). Power input is 100–240V AC via a single IEC-320 C14 connector; no redundant supply option on this model. For maximum thermal headroom, maintain 2-inch clearance front and rear for airflow. If deploying across multiple switches, use managed VLAN trunk groups on the 10G uplinks to avoid broadcast storms. Each PoE port negotiates power draw independently; verify total circuit capacity (30A @ 120V or 15A @ 240V typical for full 720W load) before final installation.
