The NETGEAR GSM7352S is a 48-port Gigabit Layer 3 managed stackable switch purpose-built for enterprise data center and campus network deployments. It delivers 192 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric with 142.8 Mpps forwarding throughput, ensuring wire-speed performance across all interfaces with sub-microsecond latency. The switch combines 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports with extensive uplink options: two built-in 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, two high-speed module bays supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 48 Gigabit stacking modules, four shared SFP ports, and eight SFP combo ports for Gigabit fiber or RJ45 connectivity.
