The Q-SYS NS10-720++ is a 10-port network switch engineered to meet the rigorous performance demands of Q-SYS audio, video, and control (AV&C) systems. Manufactured by NETGEAR and pre-configured by QSC, this enterprise-grade switch offers a plug-and-play solution, streamlining deployment and reducing support requirements for integrators and IT professionals. It supports seamless integration of Q-LAN, AES67, and Dante audio streams, as well as Q-LAN video streaming, all within the same VLAN without manual QoS adjustments. With a substantial 720-watt PoE budget across eight PoE++ ports, the NS10-720++ efficiently powers a wide range of Q-SYS devices, including those with higher power needs like the Q-SYS NV Series video endpoints. Its intelligent management features, such as automatic multicast data handling and integrated IGMP+, ensure optimal network performance for standalone AV systems.

The Key Features of the Q-SYS NS10-720++:

• Pre-Configured for Q-SYS AV&C Systems: Optimized settings for immediate deployment with Q-SYS, AES67, and Dante protocols.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Includes eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports and two 10 Gbps SFP/SFP+ ports for high-speed connectivity.
• High PoE++ Capacity: Eight ports support IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ (up to 90W per port), with a total power budget of 720 watts, accommodating devices with substantial power requirements.
• Intelligent Network Management: Features automatic multicast traffic management and integrated IGMP+ for seamless data handling across multiple switches.
• Flexible Mounting Options: Standard 19" 1U rack-mountable design with multiple mounting configurations, including ports forward (flush or recessed) or ports rearward.
