Easy plug and play 2.5Gb RJ45 10GB sfp+
works great. plug it into your 2.5GB capable router and split it off to other pcs. Also has 2 SFP+ ports for high speed LAN between 2 pcs on home network. SFP+ 10gig card 40$ SFP+ transceiver 12$ 8$ for lc to lc multimode fiber cable. If you have multiple pcs that sends data backs and forth this is the ultimate setup on buget. 10gb copper is good but those components cost much more.After a few days of use I have come to realize the SFP transceiver gets very warm when in the switch. I put a small desk fan set on low to move a little air into the vent holes o one side of switch and out the other side. this helped tremendously. SFP+ transceiver is a 10gtek

Cheap and perfect 2.5g Unmanaged Switch
Purchased to utilize on my LAN to be able to move data faster from my PC to my storage server, it’s been running issue free since the install about six months ago. No hiccups no issues just pure plug and play 2.5gbe performance.

does what it says for cheap
There are so many different brands out there, but they’re probably all made by the same company anyway. So, other than finding one with the port types and quantities you want, I’d say buy the cheapest, as they will probably all work. This being no exception, at $45 I bought it to make my home network a little faster for large file transfers. Its plug and play and just requires appropriately rated cables, which you can also get for cheap.Transfer speeds of 2.5gbps as measured by task manager, and windows file transfer shows 283MB/sec. Doesn’t seem to slow down, or get too hot, or have any issues so far. I haven’t used the 10G ports.Feels like a sturdy little box and has mounting holes on the underside.

This switch DOES NOT WORK WITH SFP+ DAC cables
The workaround was a Fibre-Optic-Compatible-SFP-10G-AOC. The 2.5 ethernet worked fine. The manufacturer contacted me and asked if I would like a refund. They did not ask me to change my review. I was reimbursed for my hassle. And that shows me they care about my experiences with their product. So I am a happy camper. Also, I added another star to the rating.

4 port 2.5GB hub. Working great!
Had this for a few weeks now and speeds and stability are perfect. It’s also VERY COOL to the touch barely warm! Unlike my name-brand expensive TP-Link 8 port 2.5ghz hub that feels dangerously hot and needs power cycling often (TP-Link this NEEDS a fan!) .For $44 this is a great buy. Will be getting another. Hoping it lasts.

YuanLey 8-Port 2.5GbE and 1xSFP+ Switch : Reliable Performance : A Great Find Under $100
 I’ve been using the YuanLey 8×2.5GbE and 1xSFP+ switch since August 2023, and I’m thrilled to report that it has performed flawlessly. I had a spare 10G QSFPTEK SFP+ copper module that I used with CAT8 cables, and it worked seamlessly with this switch. Additionally, I tested it with a new 10G SFP+ DAC Twinax Cable, Passive, and it performed without a hitch. The compatibility and performance exceeded my expectations.What stands out most is the incredible value this switch offers for under $100. The ability to handle multiple high-speed connections at this price point is remarkable. I’ve extensively tested this switch with my NAS storage, Homelab servers, and access points, and I’m pleased to report that no issues were encountered.Even during extended use, the switch’s temperature remains at room temperature, which is a testament to its reliability and efficiency. I’m extremely pleased with its performance and versatility. Here’s hoping this switch continues to deliver for a long time to come.

I’ve had this switch for a few months now, and its is great! Was easy to set up, plug in LAN cables initially, and then I added an SFP plug as well to put it through its paces.I’d recommend using the SFP port for connection to either your 10G capable router, or to another switch box at 10G (which is what I’ve done). Then leave the 2.5G ports for computers, NAS, or other items.Works great, and I’ve never had to re-boot it due to hang ups – unlike other unmanaged switches I’ve used.For the price – a great switchbox!

Network switches are not the most exciting of things, so writing any kind of review isn’t easy. Unless you’re a network professional, a switch like this is likely all you’ll need. Now, I am by no means any kind of networking expert. No! I’m in the camp of: Plug it in an I want it to just work. For those interested, and very new to all this stuff, there are two basic kinds of network switches: managed and unmanaged. Most switches at the lower end of the price range, of which this is one, are unmanaged. What does that mean? The likelihood is that if you have to ask, you don’t require a managed switch. What I do know is that a managed switch allows much greater control of the connections, including the ability to link aggregate, AKA bonding, I think, groups of Ethernet ports to act together at a hardware level. Beyond that, there are other things you can do, but that is way beyond my needs or abilities.For most regular consumers who find themselves needing a switch, there are two metrics. Speed and number of ports. By far the most common speed for network switches is still the 1 Gigabit AKA 1 GbE variety. pretty much any computer that has an Ethernet port will offer at least a 1 Gbe connection speed. One of the most common errors I hear from people is the confusing of Gigabyte and Gigabit. They are two vastly different speed ratings. Even ISP’s when pushing their Internet speed option will often substitute Gigabit/megabit with Gigabyte/Megabyte. Be aware the actual speed differences are significant. A Gigabit translates to a theoretical max throughput speed of 125 Megabytes/sec. A Gigabyte per second speed translates to approx 1,000 Megabytes/sec. For most home users, a 1 Gigabit Ethernet network switch is plenty enough for their needs. however, a newer, faster speed, 2.5GbE has become increasingly mainstream and, as it’s name suggests, offers up to 2.5x the speed of 1 GbE Ethernet.The most relevant metric for most home users will be the number of Ethernet ports offered. Of course, this depends on your needs, but it is useful to opt for a switch that has more ports than you think you will need right now.If you’re looking at this review and are still wondering what a network switch is and why you might need one, stay with me. I am someone that believes a review should also encompass those just starting out and may not know the things others do. The easiest way to think of a network switch is like a power bar adaptor. You know, those plug bars you use when you’ve run out of available power sockets next to your TV. Network switches perform the same basic function. They allow you to connect multiple Ethernet cables into a single box with one of them going to a computer or your router etc. With a router connected to one port, any devices connected to the other ports on the switch will also have access to the Internet over a wired connection. Unmanaged switches, like this one, are just plug and play. You connect your Ethernet cables and it all just works, and that’s the way most home users want it.This switch is an eight port model that offers eight 2.5GbE standard RJ45 type Ethernet ports and a 10GbE SFP port (likely never used by most people, but really nice to have).Now, bear in mind that a switch offering up to 2.5 Gigabit/sec is of little value if all your devices only support 1GbE. A 2.5GbE switch like this isn’t going to magically turn your existing 1GbE network into a 2.5GbE one. So, for example, my main PC has a 2.5GbE Ethernet port which I have a standard Cat 5E cable attached to (Cat 5E will work with 2.5GbE connections, so no need to spend more on CAT 6 or 7 Ethernet cables) and now connects, via this switch, to a second PC that has recently had a cheap 2.5GbE Network card installed to replace the built-in 1GbE one. Transferring large files across between these machines sees transfer rates of up to around 240 Megabytes/sec. This compares to around 110 Megabytes using standard 1GbE connections. However, another machine connected to this new switch, but only fitted with a 1GbE Network adaptor will not benefit from the faster switch.So, given that currently there is quite a price premium on 2.5GbE switches compared to standard 1 Gig offerings, it might be worth bearing the above example in mind. Still, I opted for this switch due to a Black Friday sale and the fact that it was significantly cheaper, even when not in sale, than more readily recognizable brands, such as TP-Link, Netgear etc. So, for me, to have an eight port switch capable of 2.5GbE on all eight ports and a 10GbE SFP port too, and all for under £90, was a bit of a bargain I couldn’t resist.The switch itself is a long, rectangular box that has LED’s above each port and a power jack on the opposing side. This may be a negative to some who prefer all connectors, including power, to be on the same side. For me, though, this worked out quite well with my cabling arrangements. While on that subject, what was awkward was the power plug supplied with this unit. It has an overhang that can potentially block other nearby power sockets, but has the overhang raised a little to help avoid this. Alas, my switch is connected into a APC UPS that has two rows of sockets that are staggered opposite one another. I was not able to seat the supplied plug with other plugs inserted in an opposite socket due to this overhang. Fortunately, my old 5 port switch I am replacing had a very similar shaped plug of the same voltage, but its overhang was just a fraction higher and cleared the other connected plug. Manufacturers need to think a little more about the shape of their power plugs to avoid such things. If you had a similar issue, you could likely get around it by using a double adaptor plug block to raise it up, but it’s not the tidiest of solutions.As most of my devices are operating at 1 GbE speed and I only have one port using 2.5GbE speeds of the five I have connected, the switch runs very cool, only slightly warm to the touch. What this does lack, like so many other modern devices, is a set of rubber feet to elevate the unit a little off the surface if not wall mounted to facilitate better air flow around the unit. In addition, rubber feet prevent my switch from slipping under the torque of the various connected cables tugging this way and that. So, I had to purchase a cheap set of pads and stick them to it to fix this. Not a big problem, but one that is common place these days on appliances.Other than that, there is not a lot more to say about this switch. It works and works well. Switches are not fancy or glamorous, they just sit there doing their job and we forget about them. This is as it should be and so far after a month or so of use, this switch has performed flawlessly.
