These small, low power consumption 2.5G switches are just brilliant., Plugged in my four 2.5G devices (Synology NAS, Mac Studio M2 Ultra and two more of these 2.5G switches elsewhere in the house). Will plug the 2.5G port from wireless WiFi7 AP's in as well when I've bought the wireless AP. Sustained 2.5Gbps performance. Fit and forget.High build quality, made from metal and they run cool and silently with no fans. The three I bought on offer have been up and running now a solid three months as a 2.5G backbone to my home network without an itch. A lot of none brand switches out there for much less money but I'd rather buy something quality that will just work. Unreliable networking gear can be extremely intermittent and hard to trace faults with.You can use these with standard based Cat5E cables, so no special 10G cables are needed. Brilliant.EDIT: 15Feb25. Still going strong and not one issue with them. They have never gone back to the £99.99 I paid for mine despite me having a camelcamelcamel price watch on them. They will do eventually. I hope so because I need another two. Incredible that in 2025 I now have almost 120 IP devices on my network in my home in a house of five! CCTV cameras, TV, dishwasher, washing machine, home alarm, Hive, Smart Lighting, TVs, Sky, additional sky boxes, Alexa, Homepods and everyones phones and iPads and computers!!!! It soon adds up the sheer number of devices we have these days. A switch failure and the lot is off and is extremely disruptive with us all working remote!!!
