YuanLey6 Port 2.5G PoE Switch Unmanaged, 4 x 2.5G Base-T PoE Ports, 2 x 10G SFP, IEEE802.3af/at, 78W, Compatible with 100/1000/2500Mbps, Metal Fanless, Desktop/Wall Mount 2.5Gbe Network Switch

This switch is tremendous value for the money. Two SFP+ and Four 2.5 with PoE. Amazing! The switch works well, and I have no issues with it's performance. It does what it says, and does so with low energy usage. I bought this switch to use for temporary deployments and I am happy with the all-metal construction. I believe it will hold up to the abuse for years to come. It's not managed in any way, but that is not to be expected at this price point. For my Ubiquiti people out there, this is a great way to upgrade to a new Wifi 7 AP, without needing to buy a UI switch with 2.5 ports.

I've been using this switch along with a 10G fiber SFP to provide fast networking to all of my office devices without having to run multiple ethernet lines for the past 6 months. The PoE functionality is useful for powering a Ubiquiti U7Pro with 2.5G connectivity, to provide better speeds to my front yard and office. No setup needed besides power as it's an un-managed switch. Used Velcro strips to attach it to my PC and I am truly surprised how good it is for the cost.

Plug and play. It is an unmanaged switch. Just connect your POE device and it works. I was looking 2.5G POE solution for my U7 Pro access point. Works great.

I needed a 2.5Gb/E POE switch to power my Ubiquity Unify Access Points and connecting it with the 10Gb SFP+ to my Unify Dream Machine was the best choice especially for that price. Here were the problems:1) you can do either POE or non-POE devices on the 2.5Gb/E ports but not both. The switch won't boot if you mix them together2) the 10Gb SPF+ port addition or removal to the slots makes the switch reboot instantly.3) if you exceed the 72W power for POE the switch doesn't boot at all with no error message or light as it just keeps blinking power green forever4) I could not connect 2 SFP+ ports to my Dream Machine at the same time. The switch didn't even boot with both SFP+ modules plugged in.I got it to work with 2 x APs (15W each) and 1 x SFP+ but the moment I added the second SFP+ module, the switch rebooted and never came up again. Even after removing all SFP+ modules and no POE connections just adding a simple 1Gb/E port, the switch never booted again. Now the switch is no longer functional and I returned it.If you read the manufacturer's website, you won't even find that switch on their website or support portal. As a matter of fact, the manual which was in the box was for the 8 port POE switch and doesn't even apply here.Do not buy this switch!

If you just use the 2.5gbe ports and need one or two devices of POE, this is an awesome switch and may be right for you. It’s cheap, barebones and works. However, once you start using the 10g ports with SFP+ transceivers specifically, they generate a huge amount of heat and will eventually start dropping packets and introducing occasional latency spikes that are perceptible in online FPS games or video calls. Fifty bucks for a 4 port 2.5g POE+ capable switch is still an absolute bargain and may literally be the cheapest option on the market that fits the criteria so it’s worth a shot if that’s your need, but prepare for frustration if you decide to leverage all the ports simultaneously.

It's a desktop switch. You know what it does. The copper 2.5GBase-T ports works fine (including PoE), and so do the 10G SFP+ ports. Another reviewer mentioned reboot issues when plugging into the SFP+ ports but I haven't experienced any such issues myself with optical transceivers, DAC cables or with a combination of the two. I measured speed going in one SFP+port via DAC cable and out the other SFP+ port via optical transceiver at 9.4gbps which is right where it should be. The switch just works and I have no complaints.

I purchased this switch because I needed to test an access point that have a 2.5b network interface. This switch proved to be very capable but I was also surprised to find out that it allows VLAN ID to pass through. After testing thoroughly I decided to make this as my layer 3 for the 2 access points that I'm using at home.

I been using this YuanLey 6/2.5GB 2/10Gb SFP+ switch for about 8 months. its a good product but it gets pretty hot when you plugin SFPs to this unit.
