Manufacturer description

The GigaPlus 10-port 2.5Gb unmanaged Ethernet switch gives your home lab or small office a multi-gig backbone with no configuration. You get eight RJ45 ports that auto-negotiate at 10/100/1000M or 2.5G under the IEEE 802.3bz standard. It also has two 10G SFP+ uplink ports for connecting a 10G NAS, a server or a core switch. Switching capacity is rated at 80Gbps with non-blocking forwarding, so busy ports don't slow each other down. Setup is plug and play. Automatic MDI/MDIX means any standard patch cable works, and there is no software or web interface to learn. Connect a 2.5G NAS, a gaming…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored 10 Port 2.5Gb Unmanaged Ethernet Switch with 8* 2.5G Base-T Ports using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the networking category. GigaPlus's networking lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for networking of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this switch work with my existing 1Gb devices?

Yes. Ports 1-8 support 10/100/1000M and 2.5G auto-negotiation, so 1Gb devices connect at 1Gbps and 2.5G devices connect at 2.5Gbps on the same switch.

What are the two SFP+ ports for?

They are 10G uplink ports. Use them to link the switch to a 10G NAS, server, router or another switch. You will need compatible SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables, so check the listing for what is included.

Do I need to configure anything or install software?

No. It is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch with automatic MDI/MDIX. It has no web interface, so it doesn't offer VLANs, QoS or link aggregation.

Is the GigaPlus 2.5G switch noisy, and can I wall-mount it?

It has a fanless design with a metal casing, so it makes no fan noise. It supports both desktop placement and wall mounting.

What warranty and support come with it?

GigaPlus states that it provides lifetime technical support for this switch. Check the product listing or contact GigaPlus for the current warranty terms.
