Swapped in to get full speed with 2Gb fiber, does it's job. Only had to power cycle once after 4 months.

This switch is working great at 1gb,2.5 gb and also 10gb sfp. Haven't had to reboot it yet I have only had it 2 months but worka great

I have now bought 5 of these switches. They work great to break out a 10G backbone in the home. The 10G SFP+ works great. I have a 2gig fiber drop, and these serve as my distribution around the house after the router.These are unmanaged so they can work as a 10G media converter without messing up the MAC address.

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.

Got me up and running when the two smaller ones I had daisy chained failed after over 10 yearsbofvyse.

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.

It seems like a nice little unmanaged switch that would be perfect for my needs: SFP support and a plethora of 2.5g RJ45 / ethernet over copper ports.Unfortunately, the SFP+ side of the switch seems DOA. The status lights flash for an instant when the switch is powered on, but after that little self-test, I got nothing. On two consecutive switches.Perhaps it's my SFP modules (a CISCO SFP-10G-AOC1M 10GBase Active Optical Cable and pairs of Finisar FTLF1324P2BTL-MC LW 1000Base), but neither port would show a link or allow traffic through on BOTH switches I tried. (I returned the first, got a second one, it manifested the same problem). In short, the copper side of the switch worked great. The optical side... not so much.I know the SFPs I'm using are valid and working because I can swap them into other switches I have lying around and both configurations work fine. I thought perhaps it was that these are SFP+ ports, but those should still be backwards compatible to 1Gig SFP modules... and I also tried my 10gig AOC cable to no avail. So, rather than fight with it further, I just returned them.

It seems these switches do not support the IEEE 1905.1 protocol. The lack of support for this protocol will cause the TP-Link Deco systems to cause instability throughout your entire network, cabled or WiFi, cause there will be loops caused by the Deco Mesh system. The switch can't handle these requests and will start losing connection on certain ports 1 by 1, dropping connections, unstable, all kinds of troubles. Google: "IEEE 1905.1 Deco" and go through the posts about Ethernet Backhaul, these will help you out in finding a switch that does support the Deco-mesh systems. Even some TP-Link switched do not support this protocol, do your own research please. Anyways, I have contacted support about this matter and ill keep you updated |IMPORTANT: 3weeks later Update: Mail sent, they claim they did not receive the mail. However they did, as seen on the logs of the mailserver. 7 days after sending that mail and no reply, I contacted them via Amazon, they responded 6 days later with the reply with apologies for the delay, they had not received my mail and with the question if I could send another mail..... I had ofcourse sent a printscreen with the actual mail in the Amazon reply, however they chose to ignore my .PNG attached file and ask for another mail.. This company does not fill in the product page correctly, if I knew it had no support for IEEE1905.1 I would not have bought it. Second, they wilfully ignore my mail and .PNG attachment via Amazon. I hope someone from Amazon is reading along. I will file a claim and will advise everyone to stay clear of this brand.

The unmanaged switch seems to work, but when I tried to register it, the only contact info was an email address for help or warranty service and an address which translates to: Room 5071, Block B, Building 3, Dongtongdai Times Center, Factory Building 3, Tongtai Headquarters Industrial Park, Qiaotou Community, Fuhai Street, Baoan District, Shenzhen City. I guess I will email them with my request to register the switch. They don't have a website that I could find with Google search.

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.
