SODOLA 24 Port 2.5Gb Switch,Web Managed ,24x2.5G Base-T Ports, 2x10G SFP+

This switch is a steal for the price and amount of ports you get! Branded switches are charging $200 or more and some of them even have less ports! I'm getting the full 2.5G bandwidth while having all 8-ports populated as well as the SFP+ 10G port. It also runs much cooler than my 10G MikroTik switch. The small form factor makes it very easy for me to place this on my cramped set up. For reliability, only time can tell. So far everything is running great! 👍

Setup was as simple as plug it into power, add your network cables, turn it on and forget about it. It just works and doesn't add any lag into my network setup. I like that it's 2.5gb which is the same as my motherboards networking ports are so my computer to computer files transfers are fast

Great switch - we use the LAG (link aggregation) feature on a few 2.5GB connections, it works with everything we connect to it. We uplink to a 10GB switch, and it works flawlessly. We have 1GB and 2.5GB clients connected to it.

i have 3 of these. all have SFP+ slots filled with RJ45-SFP+ converters. i'm thinking of swapping out the RJ45 SFPs for Fiber SFPs due to the RJ45 modules get so hot they come close to desoldering the components from their boards. i know the fiber units dont have that problem. other than that, throughputs and transfers are consistent always never have any problems with either one of them.

I've been using this SODOLA 8-port 2.5G switch (with one 10G SFP+ port) for about four months now, primarily connected via its SFP+ port to another multi-gig switch in my home network. In terms of core functionality – speed, stability, heat, and noise – my experience has been largely positive and quite similar to other well-performing unmanaged 2.5G switches I've used. It delivers reliable 2.5Gbps speeds, runs cool and silent (presumably fanless), and was instantly recognized and operational thanks to its plug-and-play design. The most distinct aspect of this SODOLA switch is its physical design, which presents both a pro and a con. On the positive side, by arranging the eight 2.5G RJ45 ports in two rows (stacked vertically), the switch achieves a remarkably small desktop footprint for an 8-port unit. This is great if you're tight on space. However, the downside of this arrangement is that the ports are quite crowded. Plugging and unplugging network cables, especially if you're using thicker cables or boots, can be rather fiddly and requires some patience due to the limited space between ports. Connectivity includes the eight 2.5G ports and the single 10G SFP+ port, which, as mentioned, has worked flawlessly for linking to my other switch. It's important for potential buyers to note that having only one SFP+ port does limit its flexibility. While perfect for connecting to a single upstream device or router at high speed, it means this switch isn't suitable as a central or core switch if your network design requires multiple SFP/SFP+ connections for uplinks or linking several high-speed devices/switches. Overall, this SODOLA switch offers a good number of 2.5G ports in a very compact package and performs reliably. Its value seems competitive, aligning with the positive sentiment often seen for brands offering similar specs at lower price points. I'd recommend it for users who need to connect multiple 2.5G devices, prioritize minimizing desktop clutter, and only require a single SFP+ connection. Just be prepared for slightly tighter cable management due to the stacked port layout.

Works very well , around 2G of signal no problem!

Love this switch so far. Rock solid stability, fast, and runs cool and quiet (passive cooling--no fan). And for an all-metal chassis with EIGHT 2.5Gbe ports the price ($43 not on sale!) is incredible. Very happy with this little guy. I have mine sitting in an open wire rack shelving unit though, so can't say how it would fair in an enclosed space or with poor ventilation.

Everyone Just save your money if your doing anything regarding the managed portion of this switch it's not going to work. Pretty simple setup at home it can't keep on the management network. After months of troubleshooting and trying things it still fails after about 8 hours and drops off the management network. the memory is running at 70% plus utilization and it just is not worth the money even tho this switch is cheaper. EVERY sodola switch has a different management interface and firmware and it just doesn't work for real home lab use or reliably.

Günstiger Switch der Vlan fähig ist und noch mehr Funktionen bietet.
