I have bought a few of these 8+2SPF port 2.5Gb switches and they work fantastic. Never had an issue. However, I received another one today and it was clearly and opened mixed/used items sold as new. Contacted amazon and they refunded the purchase price via a gift card. Great service and will order another one soon.only deducted one star due to receiving a used item

Nice switch, I run it at 10G strung two of them together. Did numerous iperf tests, cant seems to slow it down. Worth the $65 on sale.

I was slightly nervous buying these at around £70 for 2.5Gb and 2 SFP+ ports, seemed too good to be true. Pleasantly surprised as these work perfectly! Been running these for 4 months continuous with no issues.Great value for money and with 10 total ports enough connection for most setups. They seem to work at the reported speeds but I haven't pushed them to their limits. Ended up with 3 to get my whole home network to 2.5GB. Plan to use some copper modules to get the whole backbone up to 10GB at some point.The seem to run cold without SFP in use at least. Setup couldn't be easier, just plug in and go, if the device supports 2.5GB that's what you get.

Works like a champ. I am using 10gb interfaces as an uplink to a larger 10g switch and to my main PC, which is also equiped with 10gb. Using DAC SPF+ connectors. The 2.5 allows some lesser devices (like my MacBook dock ) to operate at full 2.5g speed.So I am fully utilizing the 10g and 2.5g and they do deliver in the real world. The software is pretty basic and is configured thtough an old-timey web interface, but that is the case for all of these 10/2.5 chinese switches. It will do VLANs.2 thumbs up.

The unit works well. Bad design for cooling, With RJ45 SPF+ they get very hot. Needs rubber feet added.

Ich habe diesen Switch gekauft basierend auf einem englischsprachigen Review, welches diesen Switch u.a. mit einem anderen (billigeren) hier käuflichen Switch verglichen hat. Dieser hier zeichnete sich durch stabilere, kontinuierliche Datenübertragungsraten aus.Ich kann den Switch zwar nicht voll auslasten weil ich eigentlich nur eine Punkt zu Punkt Verbindung zwischen meinem Notebook und einem SSD betriebenen NAS aufbaue (die anderen Geräte stellen keine Belastung dar), doch mit diesem setup ist es kein Problem mehrere 100GB an Daten am Stück mit für 2.5GBE maximaler Übertragungsrate zu kopieren. Seit ca. 1 Monat arbeitet der Switch problemlos. Wenn man zusätzlich bedenkt, dass dieser Switch im Vergleich zu vielen anderen auch noch eine sehr niedrige Stromaufnahme besitzt halte ich 5 Sterne für gerechtfertigt.

Simple setup. I haven't tried the SFP+ upload ports yet but the 2.5gbe ports are fine. Nothing to complain about. I wish it had bidirection SFP+ but that's not why I bought it.

I bought this because I wanted higher speed uplink from my router. Setup was just as you expect - plug and play. A quick note - most of the images show the router connecting to the 10 GBps port on the end, though the one next to that says "Uplink." I'm told it doesn't matter, but I plugged mine in to the "Uplink" port. All ports are occupied and work to the maximum capacity I can take them (1.4 GBps).Another quick note - one of the 2.5 GBps ports had a "soft" click upon connection. I was concerned, because I like a solid, loud, "hard" click. The ethernet cable is fully secure, however, and speeds are great.I would (and probably will) purchase this and other items from GigaPlus.

I've been using multiple of these for the better part of a year now with zero issues. Having 2 10G SFP uplinks is very useful, as I can set up cheesy daisy-chain with a single sort of "bus" 10G fiber link and these switches tapping into it. Yeah it's not "elegant" - a star config with a 10G SFP switch at the root would be better but heck it still way better than what I had before with just 1G ethernet switches everywhere. Each connected machine gets a 2.5G link into the LAN connected to the "backhaul" 10G fiber through one of these switches. The fiber then terminates in a PCIe dual port SFP 10G card in my server. Effectively I've upgraded my LAN to 2.5G everywhere while avoiding chokepoints and not having to buy expensive 10G switching gear. Some time in the future I may further add a 10G managed switch but for now using these switches with their pair of SFP cages does the trick. There are other cheap switches available here with a pair of SFP cages, but they tend to all be four port switches (six total). This device is the only one I've found which has eight 2.5G ports while still maintaining 2 10G SFP uplinks.

Switch funktionierte nach dem auspacken und Verbindung mit dem Steckernetzteil Ausgang 12V 1A sofort. Es gibt keinen Ein/Ausschalter, ist aber wegen Dauerbetrieb nicht nötig. Zunächst den Switch an einen Rechner anschalten wie in Anleitung beschrieben. Dann die IP Adresse statisch auf das eigene Netzwerk eingestellt. Nicht vergessen, Settings müssen unter Device gespeichert werden.Auch der Betrieb mit SFP+ Modul von 10G für 300m LWL funktionierte sofort. Nach dem Einstecken des Moduls ist dieses noch nicht aktiv. Erst wenn man auch den LWL eingesteckt hat, wird das Modul aktiviert und ist im Webinterface sichtbar und die LED des Ports leuchtet.
