Netgear has announced another product, a multi-gigabit switch. The SX10 offers eight-gigabit ethernet ports and two multi-gigabit ports that support speeds of up to 10 Gb/s.
The switch also includes a number of software functions to optimize gaming performance. The NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming SX10 10G/Multi-Gig LAN Switch (GS810EMX), a 2018 CES Innovation Awards Honoree, succeeds the Nighthawk S8000 and is set to provide you with an advanced 10G switch to prioritize streams with QoS to fine-tune your gameplay. The SX10 brings in eight-gigabit ethernet ports and two multi-gigabit ports that support speeds of up to 10 Gb/s. The switch also includes a number of software functions to optimize gaming performance.
With the SX10 two devices can be connected via 10 gigabit while the rest of the network can be connected to gigabit. The LEDs above the ports can be switched on and off and link aggregation is supported. Statistics and performance can be viewed via a visual interface.
The Nighthawk Pro Gaming SX10 LAN Switch offers hard-wired speeds for gamers who demand that competitive edge with completely lag-free performance. It has two auto-adaptive 10Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit ports delivering seamless data transfer with five different connectivity speeds providing options for the variety of connected devices: 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps or 10Gbps.

One of the main software features of the switch, the Gaming Dashboard, provides analytics for an overview into all that is happening with your network and what ports need to be prioritized for the best quality of game play.
