SODOLA 16 Port 2.5Gb Switch Umanaged,16X 2.5GBASE-T Ports,2X 10G SFP, 120Gbps Switching Capacity,Port Isolation,/1U Rack-Mount/Fanless/Plug & Play Multi-Gig Unmanaged Network Switch

I've not had the thermal/throttling issues some others have had with this unit, but I used the included magnets to attach it to the case of an old Optiplex I use as a pfSense box, which might be helping. It acts as a kingpin in my home network - all of my 10Gb traffic passes through its SFP ports - and it works great. I'm able to get full 10Gb to my router from my 4 10Gb devices and max out my 1.2Gb WAN connection. I only have two devices plugged into the RJ45 ports though - an AP and a Hue Bridge that are both only 1G, so I can't report on thermals if you fully saturate the 2.5Gb ports. Small side note, I can't stop reading the brand name as "fifty dolla", which is hilarious.

I am using this as the primary router for my network which is all running at 2.5G. My hard lines to my other routers connect through this router. This works well with my other, other brand routers and my Eero routers / WIFI nodes.

Great

Appears to work great when cables are short, but it had a hard time pushing 2.5Gbe through 60ft of cat5e. It would periodically drop to 100Mbe. I replaced the two switches with a pair of Ubiquity switches, and I am able to push 10Gbe now, no problem.

Just plugged it in and it worked and keeps on working.

Quiet, cool little 2.5gB switch. I only used the Ethernet ports and that’s what I’m reviewing. I did not use the fiber transceivers. The switch flows at wire speed even when loaded. It is solid and well made. The metal case is a plus and sure helps with keeping the switch cool under load. The “mount to another metal surface for additional cooling” seems a bit gimmicky but…. If you want to mount it in a big metal plate and drill holes to attach the switch, go for it! I would buy this switch again, especially if I am going to use a fiber component in the LAN. Good value.

Works well and good value with the multiple 2.5G and Spf ports. No issues integrating with Ubiquity and TP-Link infrastructure.

Am I the only one shipped a gigabit switch in a 2.5 Gbps package? If I hadn't checked it with iperf, I wouldn't have known since my ISP connection is too slow to test.

Very good worth it for the price

alles super wie immer

Geliefert angekommen ausgepackt alles verkabelt Licht aus ab an mein high end pc Server node mit 10 Kabel verbunden und los ging es dann musste ich kurz schmunzeln weil der Switch einfach beleuchtet ist ja für den Preis einfach nur super und jetzt zu meiner Lieblingsfrage Könnte ich es empfehlen Die antworte ist ja von der Beleuchtung an jedem Port von blau orang grün bis zu den Durchsatz an Bandbreite und den hochwertigen Gehäuse bekommt ihr einfach viel für ein paar Euro und wer möchte kann den Switch mit dem mitgelieferten Füßen nutzen dann könnt ihr das per Magnet irgendwo hinhängen

I like Sodola. I am not to sure about the aluminium build, it makes for a very small case. The performance is brilliant, throughput is very good. My previous Tp-link switch was using 20 watts these are good for 4 watts. You have to take that into consideration in these days of high energy prices. Very small footprint, quite a bit of heat generated but that is normal. Nice to see the power supply plug back on the same side as the RJ45's about time.

The manufacturer saved about 5 cents by not including a reset button, so if someone changed ip adress from default 192.168.2.1 in webui and send it back to amazon, you simply cant get access to it...
