Buffalo’s BS-XP20 series of 10GbE switches are an entry-level solution for SMBs looking to move to the blazing speeds of 10GbE networking. While BS-XP20 switches provide high performance, they are designed to be extremely easy to install and operate. They provide plug and play installation without any additional software or configuration. Plug in your network-ready device and the BS-XP20 will automatically configure the proper connection. The BS-XP20 series includes 8 and 12 port models.

Easy installation
The BS-XP20 series utilizes Auto-MDIX (okay, here goes – automatic medium-dependent interface crossover), which means that every port on the switch will automatically detect the type of Ethernet cable being used, and configure the port to the correct configuration. This eliminates the need to identify and manually set up the connections on your switch. Our easy install promise goes further. The BS XP20 series easily mounts in a rack, on a wall, or on desktop. We go so far as to include the necessary sliding rails, screws and rubber feet with all models. Last but not least, the BS-XP20 series is designed with an internal power supply, which eliminates streamlines cable management.

10GbE – it’s not just for large business
Until recently, 10GbE networking was considered a good solution for large business, but too expensive and overkill for small- and medium-sized businesses. But SMBs are experiencing many of the same trends as enterprises that result in constantly increasing amounts of data. These trends include:

• The growth in the size and complexity of computer applications run by modern businesses
  
• The need to operate both wired and wireless networks
  
• The convergence of video, voice and data media
  
• More users with more devices like smart phones and tablets in addition to a desktop or laptop.

The resulting growth in data, and lower-cost products for 10GbE, means that SMBs can now benefit from 10GbE networking. So you can improve employee productivity by eliminating network bottlenecks and delivering faster speeds. 10GbE networking can also:

• Consolidate hardware devices into a smaller space, reducing the amount of room required for network equipment
  
• Be more energy efficient, lowering utility costs
  
• And perhaps best of all, be more cost-effective due to lower per-port costs than older network gear.

Our 10GbE switch solutions can deliver those benefits to your SMB, let us show you how!
