Multi-Gig vs 5-speed, what is the difference?
MULTI-GIG PORT: intelligent port that automatically adapts to the speed required and can provide 2.5G and/or
5G connectivity (NBase-T standard)
5-SPEED PORT: intelligent port that automatically adapts to the speed required and can provide either one of
the 5 networking speeds: 100M /1G / 2.5G / 5G or 10G.

Unlock yoUr network potential
with 5-speed networkinG!
Modern, high-performance network devices such as 5G network cards,
gaming computers, desktop computers, servers, network attached
storage (NAS) devices, or IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless access points are
capable of 2.5-Gigabit or 5-Gigabit connectivity. With the existing Gigabit
and 10-Gigabit Ethernet standards, these devices’ potential is wasted:
• The existing Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet standards do not allow speeds between 10 Gbps and 1
Gbps. If you connect an 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless access point or other Multi-Gigabit-capable device
to a 10-Gigabit switch port, the connection automatically downgrades to 1 Gbps because the device
cannot achieve 10 Gbps.
• The existing 10-Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Cat 6A or better Ethernet cable for lengths up
to 100 meters (328 feet). However, most existing cabling is only Cat 5e or Cat 6, and re-wiring can
be costly.
Multi-Gigabit Ethernet switching xes both problems by allowing a connection to operate at any
speed up to the speed of the connected switch port (2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps) over a Cat 5e or Cat 6
Ethernet cable.
With NETGEAR Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Switches, you can use the full power of your devices without
running new cables. Just connect the appropriate port on your NETGEAR Multi-Gigabit Ethernet
Switch to a Multi-Gigabit-capable device and your switch selects the fastest supported speed
automatically.
Give the speed that your devices need
