Real HD 24 Port 2.5Gb Ethernet Network Switch 24 x 2.5 Gigabit Base-T Port | 2 x 10G SFP+ | Compatible with 10-100-1000Mbps Devices | Fanless Quiet Metal Internet Switch | Rack Mount | 160G Bandwidth

The price seemed too good to be true. But I'm running it in a medium size business, and so far it's been perfect, delivering full speed to all 24 ports (I'm using 22 of the 24 ports). I'd say "give it a try". I have cat 6 wiring in place, and it's giving me full bandwidth across that cable. It claims it can do so with Cat5e, which makes this worth a try in almost any installation.

No issues with these. I haven't tried the SFP connection with optical. It would be ideal for daisychain more than one of these together. It does connect at 2.5Gbps and gives the rated speed. I didn't feel any heat concerns with it. Just plug and play. Your modem/router needs to support 2.5Gbps and ISP to support 2Gbps speeds or faster to see the results on speedtest with a 2Gbps plan for faster. Home use device to device on LAN you should see about 220MB a second file transfers depending on your device capabilities.

The best switch I have ever had in my house. Data flys around the house just need to complete my network wiring in the house all cat 6a. By doing this no slow down with tv or another streaming product. Or ps4 Apple tv

I like the price and features

It does work, and is very cheap. You're not going to get the absolute maximum possible performance compared to a quality name brand switch that costs twice as much, but if you don't care about squeezing every last ounce of performance, this switch should do fine.
