The NETGEAR S350 Series v2 Gigabit PoE+ Smart Managed Essentials Switches are designed to give growing organizations enterprise-grade capabilities – without the complexity or cost that usually comes with them. Available in 8-, 24-, and 48-port models, the S350 Series v2 delivers the right balance of performance, power, and simplicity for today’s small to medium enterprises (SMEs).

With generous PoE+ budgets to power your devices, flexible fiber uplinks, and intuitive management, the S350 Series v2 makes it easy to build a reliable wired network that can scale as your business grows.

Built for Secure, Scalable SME Networks

Modern business networks need to do more than just connect devices—they need to support voice, video, security, and wireless traffic reliably and securely. The S350 Series v2 delivers advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 Lite features, including VLANs, QoS, ACLs, and static routing (on GS310TPv2 and GS348TPv2), giving IT teams greater control over traffic flow and network segmentation.

Dedicated SFP fiber uplink ports on every model ensure stable, high-speed connections to the network core or between switches. Support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) also helps reduce power consumption during periods of low network activity, keeping operating costs in check.

Management is straightforward thanks to NETGEAR’s refreshed, web-based management interface. Day-to-day tasks like configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting can be handled quickly without specialized networking expertise, while a light CLI is available for those who prefer it.

S350: Smart Value for MSPs and SMEs with Limited IT Resources

For managed service providers (MSPs) and SMEs without dedicated IT staff, the S350 Series v2 offers a practical, cost-effective foundation that’s easy to deploy and maintain.

  • Simple deployment and management: The intuitive web-based GUI and Light CLI make it easy to discover, configure, and manage the switches, reducing setup time and ongoing support effort.
  • Power and connectivity in one platform: Built-in PoE+ eliminates the need for separate power sources for IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points—simplifying installations and lowering hardware costs.
  • Reliable features without over-engineering: Advanced switching features like VLANs, QoS, and ACLs provide the control and security SMEs need, without the complexity of fully managed enterprise switches.
  • Designed for long-term operation: Dual firmware images improve reliability during updates, and a 3-year hardware warranty provides peace of mind for both MSPs and end customers.

For MSPs, this means faster rollouts, fewer support tickets, and predictable performance across customer environments. For SMEs, it means enterprise-class networking that “just works,” even with limited internal IT resources.
