SODOLA 16 Port 2.5Gb Switch Umanaged,16X 2.5GBASE-T Ports,2X 10G SFP, 120Gbps Switching Capacity,Port Isolation,/1U Rack-Mount/Fanless/Plug & Play Multi-Gig Unmanaged Network Switch

The switch is plug and play. I have 2 gig fiber service and a router with only one 2.5 gig port. I connect a cat 8 cable from the router port to the switch. I connected three computers that each of which can handle 2.5 gig data rate. The switch works perfectly. There is less than 2% decrease in data rate using the switch.

I have only had it for a short while, but this switch has been great. I am able to get pretty much 2.5Gb speeds in my apartment now. While I am not using them, the included magnets could be useful. I have not been able to try out the 10gb port since I don't have anything else with an SFP+ port yet. While the case is metal, it definitely feels like a $40 Ethernet switch. Then again, how often do you really interact with it? So far, I would buy this again.

I've not had the thermal/throttling issues some others have had with this unit, but I used the included magnets to attach it to the case of an old Optiplex I use as a pfSense box, which might be helping. It acts as a kingpin in my home network - all of my 10Gb traffic passes through its SFP ports - and it works great. I'm able to get full 10Gb to my router from my 4 10Gb devices and max out my 1.2Gb WAN connection. I only have two devices plugged into the RJ45 ports though - an AP and a Hue Bridge that are both only 1G, so I can't report on thermals if you fully saturate the 2.5Gb ports. Small side note, I can't stop reading the brand name as "fifty dolla", which is hilarious.

Works well and good value with the multiple 2.5G and Spf ports. No issues integrating with Ubiquity and TP-Link infrastructure.

It's cheap and small, it has that going for it. I have had trouble with other sodola switches in the past but I fell for the low price of this one. With a server connected to one 10Gbit SFP+ port and the other uplinked to a Mikrotik switch at 10Gbit I am only getting about 5.5Gbps speeds to the server from the rest of the network. Better than 2.5 but would be nice to get nearer to line speeds on the SFP+ ports

Quiet, cool little 2.5gB switch. I only used the Ethernet ports and that’s what I’m reviewing. I did not use the fiber transceivers. The switch flows at wire speed even when loaded. It is solid and well made. The metal case is a plus and sure helps with keeping the switch cool under load. The “mount to another metal surface for additional cooling” seems a bit gimmicky but…. If you want to mount it in a big metal plate and drill holes to attach the switch, go for it! I would buy this switch again, especially if I am going to use a fiber component in the LAN. Good value.

Great switch for a setup that needs 10gb fiber and 2.5gb rj45 networking. I connected my pc and my NAS with the 10gb fiber ports and the speeds are blazing fast between them compared to when I only had a gigabit connection before.

I am using this as the primary router for my network which is all running at 2.5G. My hard lines to my other routers connect through this router. This works well with my other, other brand routers and my Eero routers / WIFI nodes.

Work great. No noise .

Perfect for what I need. Will make use of the SFP ports soon as well but the 2.5gb ports really sped up my homelab

I had an older Sodola switch for my ISP's slightly odd 2.5 Gbps SFP fibre module that had been serving me well for over a year without issues, but upgraded some other parts of my network to 10 Gbps connections and decided to get this one due to its two SFP+ ports (one for my ISP's fibre module and one to my router over 10 Gbps DAC). This switch is more compact, more power efficient, and runs cooler. It is also apparently faster. The relatively large buffer (8 Mb/1 MiB) means I'm not worried about packet bursts from mixing a 10 Gbps connection with my 1.5 Gbps ISP speed. My speed test throughput actually increased a couple hundred Mbps with this new switch. I'm quite pleased. I wasn't planning to use the magnetic feet but they actually came in handy for mounting it upside down under a shelf in an awkward gap in my mini rack. I was only able to screw in three of them but that was enough.

Great product to run with eero mesh routers

Geliefert angekommen ausgepackt alles verkabelt Licht aus ab an mein high end pc Server node mit 10 Kabel verbunden und los ging es dann musste ich kurz schmunzeln weil der Switch einfach beleuchtet ist ja für den Preis einfach nur super und jetzt zu meiner Lieblingsfrage Könnte ich es empfehlen Die antworte ist ja von der Beleuchtung an jedem Port von blau orang grün bis zu den Durchsatz an Bandbreite und den hochwertigen Gehäuse bekommt ihr einfach viel für ein paar Euro und wer möchte kann den Switch mit dem mitgelieferten Füßen nutzen dann könnt ihr das per Magnet irgendwo hinhängen
