Binardat 4 Port 2.5G Web Managed Switch with 2x10G SFP+ Slot, Ultra-Mini Size, Support Trunk/LACP/VLAN/QOS, Metal Multi-Gigabit Desktop/Wallmount Network Switch

It performs well especially for the price. This test was on short runs of a cheapo cat5e cable and a improper aluminum cat7ish cable, so far from ideal. I also ignored the instructions to ground the thing, but its taped to the bottom of a desk, not in a server room, sooo.```iperf -c 192.168.0.50------------------------------------------------------------Client connecting to 192.168.0.50, TCP port 5001TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default)------------------------------------------------------------[ 1] local 192.168.0.8 port 49648 connected with 192.168.0.50 port 5001 (icwnd/mss/irtt=14/1460/459)[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth[ 1] 0.0000-10.0220 sec 2.77 GBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec```

Funcionó perfectamente, tengo 2 servidores con conexiones de 10 SFP+ y se conectaron de inmediato, ademas llegó a tiempo y la calidad del equipo es muy buena. Se siente confiable, es metálico.

This Binardat 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, 5 Ports 100/1000Mbps uses a small, wall-wart type of power supply. This Binardat 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, 5 Ports 100/1000Mbps is compact. This Binardat 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, 5 Ports 100/1000Mbps uses one port to split to four others. This Binardat 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, 5 Ports 100/1000Mbps works well for my home office. This Binardat 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, 5 Ports 100/1000Mbps seems to be a good value.

Let me be clear, it is exactly as advertised in the sense that you can absolutely vlan off all 4 2.5 gig ports also I can if I wanted bond them all or any combo to achieve up to a total of 10gb via the 2.5gb ports... I think these LACP features were the primary reason for me going with a managed version vs an unmanaged version, the truth is I would rather just have a transparent switch that is also capable of aggregation on those ports but also alows me the full bandwidth pass threw of the sfp ports because the plan was to add this into a low cost 10gb sfp+ enabled homelab setup that is just an amalgam of various systems of a variety of specs and one of those NAS systems that is ultra low power with super low wattage archive smr drives is a always on target that is only equipped with dual 2.5gb nics and uses large capacity nvme solid start targets for write caching but not at crazy speeds just better than the slow SMR drive speeds especially when not in a stripped array and I thought perhaps this will enable me to tie into the in place sfp+ network and also give me a few slower options so I can retire one whole system that is acting exclusively as networking fabric with hot copper 10gb nics and similar quad 2.5gb nics that end up taking to many pcie lanes and power but that system also has dual 1gb nics onboard that provide my "management" network for all the servers in the rack but iv only recently upgraded from unstable copper 10gb ethernet that is running more that 30m to my rack with a 2.5gb backup but now the same copper that was the 2.5gb backup can be used as a dedecated management line while the cat7 copper can be downgraded to either 2.5gb or even 5gb which all my 10gb hardware can do 5gb and 2.5gb and at 5gb that 30m copper is more than enough and my new 10gb sfp+ network is stupid stable with some low cost mellanox connectx 3 nics so i dont have a need for a 10gb copper backup so i was going to instantiate a 5gb copper network for the allways on ring of my homelab and reserve the sfp+ network for when my hypervisor based container orchestrator determins that HPC is needed for the task...This is all well and good but I need a switch that is low power and can transparent to my firewall provide these different tiers of network and all be in the same subnet as the master and this switch seems to be setup more like a firewall or DHCP device than a transparent switch but an unmanaged one won't have the same LACP features I need and many of this same port spec ones iv seen don't enable the use of both sfp+ bridged so one can be the uplink and the other simply a pass threw with the switching bandwidth to also provide all 4 2.5gb nics with there max bandwidth of course at the cost of bandwidth to the client sfp port when the slower nics are fully utilized... Perhaps I'm the dense one and there is some other layer level that would better serve these needs... But also at what cost, if it's cheaper to keep the low cost n300 mini itx system in place that serves this exact application well than that is what I shall do...I am also going to purchase the exact same switch but the unmanaged version so I can test it against my very asscentric usecase lol...I actually was considering purchasing 2 more of these to see if I can bond all 4 ports on both and get basically a 4port sfp+ switch going that is considerably cheaper than any low port count sfp+ 10gb switch iv ever seen and short cat6e cables are super cheap so... Ya ... Just a curiosity......but I'm also addicted to buying s#!t at this point so it's probably still going to happen even if they end up in a box after never to see the light of any of my blinking lights weird servers setups again lol...but no if I did that I would certainly use them as these switches are ultra low power realtek based and are far cheaper than mini PCs simply for networking lol... That basically why I ended up with so many odd ball systems in my homelab to begin with, just me opting for cheaper pcie nics than shelling out hundreds for dedecated switching with the added bonus of more compute and memory and storage to nievly offer up to the misunderstood container master in an etempt to win favor and maybe eliveate some of my troubleshooting tribulations ...but alas more systems of a varity of archetcturs and performace capabilities with some being required for basic communication is an exacerbation of my troubles... Who could have thunk it...Lol

Excellent value for the cost. I used it as media converter (2.5G copper to 10G fiber) between my MB8611 cable modem and my security appliance for lightning protection. A dedicated media converter would cost much more than this switch. The managed version has port isolation feature that can be used to pipe back into you matin network the management interface.

I was shipped a an used unit that was missing parts.
