18 Port 2.5Gb Unmanaged Ethernet Switch with 16* 2.5G Base-T Ports, 2* 10G SFP+ Ports. GiGaPlus 2.5Gbps Network Switch for 2.5Gbps NAS/PC, Wireless AP, WiFi6 Router. Plug and Play, Fanless Design.

I’m really impressed with this 6-port 10Gb Ethernet switch! Setup was completely plug-and-play — no configuration needed. The build quality feels solid and professional, and the performance has been excellent. All my devices are getting consistent, high-speed connections with zero dropouts or lag. The 2.5G ports are perfect for my home network upgrades, and file transfers are noticeably faster now. It runs cool and quiet too, which is a big plus. Great value for the price — highly recommend for anyone looking to boost their wired network speed and stability.

I bought this GiGaPlus 10-port unmanaged switch to upgrade my home network, and it absolutely exceeded expectations. Between the 8× 2.5GbE ports and the 2× 10G SFP+ ports, this thing is a total workhorse—and it does it all silently. Setup was genuinely plug-and-play. No config, no nonsense. I used 10GBASE-T SFP+ modules for these switches in each room, back to the 10Gbps switch in my network rack, and everything flies. It’s the kind of upgrade you feel right away if you're hitting any throughput limits—downloads are faster, latency drops, and nothing is bottlenecked anymore. The fanless metal chassis stays cool even under full load, and the build quality feels solid—this doesn’t feel like a budget switch, even though the price is fantastic for a multi-gig unit with SFP+ uplinks. If you’ve got WiFi 6 gear, a fast NAS, or even just a few devices that support 2.5GbE, this switch is absolutely worth it. No noise, no drama—just pure, stable performance. Highly recommended. I’d buy another in a heartbeat.

Simple to set up, and it's working great. The 10G ports also function as 2.5G ports, and I have two of these for my wired network, which is connected directly to my router. A wired PC with a 2.5G Ethernet port achieves speeds close to the maximum on my 3 Gbps internet connection in sustained operations. The price point seems great for what this has, compared to similar models.

EDIT: Looks like the only online support for this switch is through Amazon messaging. As for the SFP+ ports, I was able to get a 10Gb/s link on my Mac Studio using an ioplex and WTTOGTEC modules. I needed more than a 12-port 2.5Gb switch with a couple of 10Gb ports and all the name brands were too expensive so I chose this one. So far everything is working fine. I'm using an ipolex 10G-T SFP+ to RJ45 transceiver in one of the SFP ports for my Mac Studio since it has a 10Gb NIC. Be aware that I cannot find any support whatsoever from this company so you're taking a big risk if this thing breaks outside the Amazon 30 day return window.

I’ve had it for over a year now. I originally bought this when I built a NAS because I was going to be transferring large files to and from my PC and I wanted some faster than 1G Ethernet but didn’t want pay the bigger premium for 5G or 10G. It’s a basic switch but it has a good of ports for my needs.

This is a solid, highly capable unmanaged switch. So far, I have been using the 2.5G ports with great success, and I look forward to testing the 10G uplink port soon. My only critique is the placement of the status lights. Because they are on the same side as the ports, the LEDs become completely obscured once all the network cables are plugged in. You cannot check the light status without severely bending the cables, which isn't ideal for data integrity or cable health. Moving the lights to the opposite side of the ports would make this an absolute 5-star product.

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.

UPDATE3: Seems the seller's offer to help remediate the situation was empty - looking at it now it almost reads like it was an automated response to a poor review. I responded back accepting their offer, a day later the message thread was closed - no response or action from the seller in over a week (their solution should have been a couple days at best and if not at least acknowledgement of the situation). To be clear, I did not expect any sort of remediation - the brand has no website and apparently no customer service/support staff. I purchased the device under the assumption that it was "as-is" and without warranty. So if the seller never bothered to contact me things would have been fine; however, it's far worse to offer the customer support then disappear. Better to remain silent and let people think you don't exist then to ghost them and prove you don't care. Buyer beware, devices by the company should truly be treated "as-is without support or warranty" because in effect that's exactly what it is. If you are willing to accept that and find a good price, sure take a chance - but chances are you will be giving your money to them. My advice, find a different brand. Maybe with one of the other clones out there (look carefully there's lots of device with nearly identical specs to this - there's only so many switch chips on the market, especially at a given price point). It's a shame really, I chose this one due to good reviews by a reputable 3rd party. Oh well. UPDATE 2: The seller reached out after seeing this review to remediate the situation. I appreciate their offer, I just wish there was a way to reach them independently of these reviews. UPDATE 1: After deeper inspection I can see nothing physically wrong - the failure of the ports appears to be entirely within the switch's logic chips. In my case I have revision 1.2 of the GP-S25-0802 model (S25G1210FP-N-V1.2). Looking back at the reviews that helped inform this purchase I see they were testing version 1.1 of the switch - not sure what changed but it wasn't for the better. ORIGINAL POST: After 7 months of light use (mainly the SFP+ ports and a couple of the 2.5Gbe ports - low traffic) the SPF+ ports have failed. While it worked, it worked alright. It was a bit fussy with which optics it accepted in the SPF+ cages and one was a tight fit (looked slightly bent) but all that was normal/expected (it's common for SFP+ cages to be picky about which optics are used). The copper ports worked well - nothing note worthy there. Speeds were as expected right up until the sudden failure. Anyway, now I have a paper weight and need to find another brand with comparable features (I need the dual SFP+ cages + with at least 8x 2.5Gbe ports in as small a formfactor as I can find - not many options...) I wanted to like the product but the quality just isn't there.

Prefiero cable allí donde se pueda y WiFi donde no, por lo que lo he usado este conmutador para cablear todas las tomas del piso a 2.5GbE desde una conexión a internet de Fibra 10G PRO Digi. Y es una auténtica gozada poder obtener caudal de 2.5GbE en los PCs modernos con esa velocidad. Para el MiniPC nuevo que incluye 2x2.5GbE le puse también un adaptador de USB4 a ethernet 10GbE y así desde él puedo usar todo el caudal de internet. Para el MacBook (que no lleva toma de red) le puse un adaptador de USB a Ethernet 2.5GbE y listos. Los dispositivos de 1GbE no sacan partido, pero las rosetas ya están preparadas para 2.5GbE. Como tengo todo cableado por RJ45 también tuve que comprar un pack de 2 SFP+ de 10GbE para convertir sus 2 tomas en RJ45 y ahí conectar el router de Digi y en el otro el adaptador USB4 de ethernet 10GbE para el MiniPC. De momento funciona muy bien y ciertamente a un precio muy comedido.

Switch Ethernet con 2 porte a 10gb e 4 porte a 2.5gb qualità prezzo molto buono

Makkelijk te installeren en redelijke prijs/kwaliteit

J’ai acheté ce switch pour mettre en place mon réseau entre mon NAS et mon PC en 10 Gb, et il fait exactement ce qu’il faut, sans complication. Les 4 ports 2.5G Base-T sont parfaits pour les appareils classiques (PC, dock, box, AP, etc.), et les 2 ports SFP+ permettent de monter facilement un lien 10 Gb avec un module ou un DAC adapté. Le switch est non géré, mais c’est justement ce qui le rend simple : on branche, tout se synchronise automatiquement, et ça fonctionne immédiatement. Aucune configuration, aucun menu compliqué, tout est plug-and-play. Idéal pour un réseau maison ou un setup semi-pro. La stabilité est excellente : aucun drop, aucun freeze, même en charge avec des transferts très lourds entre le NAS et le PC. Les débits sont constants, et le passage du 2.5G au 10G via les ports SFP+ se fait sans souci. Pour un usage multimédia, backup, montage vidéo sur NAS ou gros transferts, c’est vraiment parfait. La construction est propre, le boîtier ne chauffe pas excessivement, et le switch reste silencieux — très appréciable dans un bureau ou à côté d’un NAS. En résumé : un excellent choix si vous voulez monter un réseau 10 Gb fiable et simple à la maison. Super rapport qualité-prix, idéal pour centraliser NAS, PC et équipements en 2.5G et 10G sans se compliquer la vie.

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.
