Binardat 4 Port 2.5G Switch with 2x10G SFP, 4 x 2.5 Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet Ports, Support Vlan, Metal Unmanaged Multi-Gigabit Desktop Network Switch

This switch does exactly what it says it will perfectly.We recently upgraded our home broadband to be faster than 1Gbps to 1.6Gbps. With that, our current home networking equipment only supported 1Gbps, so we needed a faster switch to be able to enable those faster speeds to a few specific devices we wanted to be able to access the full 1.6Gbps.This switch has been the perfect device to enable us to do that, with the dual 10Gbps SFP ports, I've been able to connect a 10Gbps uplink from this Binardat switch, to the Unifi UDM SE main router we have, with our internet coming into that over an existing 2.5Gbps WAN port. Then with this connected via that 10Gbps link, I've been able to connect up the 3 devices we have that support 2.5Gbps connections. (2x Windows PC's and 1x Caldigit TS4 Dock)Since connecting it up, I've tested the throughput speed between two devices connected to the switch using iPerf and registers a consistent 2.3Gbps which I think is pretty reasonable, especially at the price point comparing to other 2.5Gbps ethernet switches on the market.This has been perfect for what we wanted to achieve, a still primarily 1Gbps home network, but with a few 2.5Gbps compatible ports for those few devices we have that support it. I would strongly recommend this switch if you're in a similar situation just wanting to enable 2.5Gbps for a few devices!

Simple set up and very stable.

Does what is says on the tin

Good piece of kit, does exactly what it's supposed to. Would highly recommend above some of those top brands that we have all heard of.

It does exactly what it says on the box, absolutely wonderful switch and it does operate at the full 1 gigabit speed.

Good bit of kit. Plug and play.

Nothing to dislike here. As long as you have 2.5 ethernet cards in your devices this will be for you.Fast to set up: unbox and plug in is all you do.Good price compared to others in this range. A1 Prodcut

Worked well 9gb connection but the noise of the fan system is extremely loud as this was being used on my desk I could not cope with the fan noise so had to return. Perfect for a rack system out of the way but no good for me shame
