YuanLey 10 Port 2.5G PoE Switch Unmanaged, 8 x 2.5G Base-T PoE Ports, 2X 10G SFP, IEEE802.3af/at, 120W, Compatible with 100/1000/2500Mbps, Metal Fanless, Desktop/Rack Mount 2.5Gbe Network Switch

These Chinese brand 2.5Gb switches (all of which use Realtek 2.5Gb switch chips) are excellent. While not the very fastest in benchmarks (see: ServeTheHome), they are consistent and almost linespeed even with all ports fully loaded. They are solidly built, with a nice feeling metal casing that's painted very evenly. Connectivity is spot on, and most variants including this one incorporate one or two 10Gb SFP+. The mixed mode connectivity means I have two of them uplinked together with single mode fibre (BiDi). Mounting was easy - I wall mounted one and rack mounted the other with the (sturdy) included rack ears. Setup is plug and play, as these are L2 unmanaged switches. Even with PoE and SFP+ they run cold, no issues with functionality under load at all. Best value for money 2.5Gb switches on the market, in my opinion!

Brilliant switch for the price. Plug-and-play, all ports negotiate at 2.5GbE and PoE works reliably for access points and other devices. It runs quietly, feels well-built, and has been completely stable 24/7. The 10G SFP uplinks are a great bonus.

Does what you need but does run very hot

So I needed a POE switch that I could rack mount into my case to connect my poe ptz cameras on stage to the main control position. I chose this one as gave double the amount of ports I'd need (giving me scope for future additions) and also gave me the ability to add in fibre connectivity to further increase the speed and transfer bandwidth between switches. It's well made with its metal chasis, comes complete with rack ears and i love that it has an iec connection on it rather than going down the route of an external power brick. Transfer speeds via both the network ports and the fibre port installed (need to add a fibre card into the available slots) have also been great. All in all it's a fantastic value switch thats handy to have in the kit bag or rack.

I've now confirmed this fault with a second unit, but after 6 hours of troubleshooting I can certainly narrow down my WiFi issues to this 8 port POE 2.5gbps switch. Unfortunately any time my unifi WiFi Access Points are wired via this switch, I have all sorts of connectivity issues and dropped connections. Usually with a "configuration error" listed. As soon as I bypass this switch, everything goes back to normal. Even when I run my APs off of a second switch and use them with a dedicated POE injector they still have issues. Wired devices seem to work fine, devices can communicate with each other, but I just have constant WiFi connection drops whenever this one switch is in the system. As soon as I move one WiFi AP to this switch then everything on that AP starts to drop out.

If unmanaged is what you require then these switches are great, I have two 8 ports versions and one 4 port version running to take care of my POE requirements along with the useful 2.5Gb throughput. Only using POE IEEE 802.3af but these switches will also do POE+ IEEE 802.3at. Can also confirm the SFP+ port works well, I am using a universal SFP+ DAC cable on my 4 port version to hook it to another switch, cant test if it does 10Gb throughput and it would surprise me if it did because I would imagine they could get away with less given customer buying this type of brand arent likely to be shifting 10Gb between switches. Its not going to be an enterprise grade chipset inside, maybe someone can prove me wrong and perhaps I can figure out a test myself. The 2.5Gb side of things is working without issue and there hasnt been a single POE issue since install.

I was a little bit sceptical about getting a switch from a brand I hadn't heard of before, but I've been pleasantly surprised by this YuanLey. 2.5GbE and PoE+ work just as they should, the switch is silent, and the case feels sturdy and just about as nice as a TP-Link or Netgear switch. I was pleased that it came with rack ears and a rubber cover for the SFP+ port too, since I thought those were the sort of things that might have been left out to save a few pennies. I would happily buy another switch from the same brand.

Great quality product fine condition and appearance for excellent value.

Tras un percance con una unidad, el fabricante se puso en contacto conmigo, ofreciéndome una solución, tras varios días de uso procedo a subir la reseña. 1. Alta velocidad por puerto Las 8 ranuras PoE son 2.5 Gb base‑t, compatibles con 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps. Esto significa que proporciona hasta 2.5× la velocidad de un switch Gigabit estándar. Esto es ideal para redes con dispositivos que requieren más ancho de banda, como servidores nas, pcs potentes o puntos de acceso Wi-Fi de nueva generación. 2. Gran potencia PoE Tiene una potencia total PoE de 120 W, soportando los estándares 802.3af/at, y puede dar hasta 30 W por puerto. Permite alimentar cámaras IP, puntos de acceso Wi-Fi, y otros dispositivos poe sin necesidad de fuentes de alimentación externas en cada dispositivo. En mi caso la uso para alimentar un punto de acceso y va genial, superando el voltaje requerido por dicho punto de acceso. 3. Puertos uplink 10 Gb sfp además de los puertos poe, incluye 2 puertos sfp de 10 Gb para uplinks. Lo que permite conectar este switch a una red troncal de alta velocidad (por ejemplo, fibra + módulo sfp) y aprovechar el ancho de banda para múltiples dispositivos. 4. Diseño silencioso y robusto La carcasa metálica muy sólida: aporta durabilidad. Diseño fanless (sin ventilador): funcionamiento silencioso y por tanto menos componentes que puedan fallar. Disipación por ambos lados con orificios de ventilación, y rango de temperatura de funcionamiento amplio, como indica el fabricante. 5. Protección contra sobretensione, lo que es ideal para instalaciones donde pueda haber picos de tensión, sobre todo en exteriores o redes por con cableado bastante largo. 6. Montaje flexible Permite montaje en sobremesa o en bastidor según necesidad, incluye el soporte. 7. Plug & Play, al ser un switch no gestionado (“unmanaged”), por lo que no necesitas configurarlo para comenzar a usarlo: basta con enchufar alimentación y cableado. Para mi es ideal ya que no necesito funciones avanzadas de administración o prioridad de tráfico, y quiero algo fiable y sencillo. 8. Relación calidad-precio ya que tiene un precio bastante competitivo. Para lo que ofrece (velocidad, potencia, puertos) es muy atractivo frente a otros switches. 9. Como comenté antes, la importancia del respaldo del fabricante, tanto para resolver cualquier duda, como problema que pueda surgir con el aparato, siendo el fabricante rápido tanto a la hora de su respuesta como a la solución que pueda ofrecernos. Lo que sumado con todas las cualidades del aparato en sí, hace que sea una opción muy recomendable para adquirir este switch. Totalmente recomendable, tanto por el producto en sí, como el respaldo a nivel de asistencia y garantía.

switch works great and is easy to use. The ports run a little bit hot but so far it hasn't been a problem. The space-saving design is welcome in a smaller rack area. The adapters needed for the 10 gig ports run very hot but even without a fan the switch seems to operate within normal limits.

Super produit, je l’ai mis dans mon garage, j’ai branché beaucoup de choses marche très bien

I bought this and the H!Fiber SFP+ module (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XQBFHNL) and it worked right away with no issues and at the correct speeds. In my case that is the full 10G uplink and supports my two Wi-Fi access points allowing me to remove two PoE injectors that I needed with my previous setup. I'm very happy with this purchase.

The VLAN feature works great to isolate your POE cameras from the rest of your network.
