Sodola 8 Port 2.5Gb Web Managed PoE Switch with 1 x 10G SFP+

great compact and fast

Budget poe. Ideal if your only useing a couple of poe cameras. Works well , installed a while ago. Had no issues, have purchased a more expensive brand, had issues and its a well known brand.

Really impressed with this Sodola 6 Port Gigabit PoE Switch. The PoE ports power HIKVision door entry system perfectly and setup was simple plug-and-play. Solid build quality and stable gigabit performance. Great value for money.

Switches are great but power cables that come with them don't meet British standards as they don't have a fuse. Simply swapped them but still, not great when being sold in the UK

I picked up the Sodola SL-SWTGW0108P (Web managed, PoE, (8)x2.5G, (1)x10G SFP) for my home lab, and for the price, it’s hard to beat the feature set.Pros:- Excellent features-to-price ratio – you get a lot of switch for the money.- mGig support with smooth auto-negotiation up to 2.5Gbps.- 10G SFP+ based uplink port that auto-negotiated flawlessly with my upstream Cisco 3560CX. Tested with multiple cables/SFPs (Cisco 10G DAC, Cisco 10G SR and Intel 10G SR SFPs using OM3 MM fiber) – all worked without issue.- PoE+ on all 8 copper ports, with PoE++ on port 1 for higher-power devices.- Fully managed with a solid feature set: spanning-tree (CST/RSTP), LACP, VLANs/Trunks, QoS, Jumbo Frames, etc..- Works perfectly with the PoE+ powered Ubiquiti U7 Pro AP with 2.5G uplink, delivering ~1.2Gbps for WiFi 7 clients during iPerf3 testing.- Wired 2.5G clients hit ~2.2Gbps sustained during iPerf3 testing.- Connected to a HUNSN N100 OPNsense firewall via 2.5Gbps links (Intel I226-V) – all auto-negotiated fine, with stable throughput (~2.2Gbps).- Connected to a YANLING YL-CLUL2 Proxmox host using Intel I210 1Gbps NICs.- Responsive support – they quickly provided firmware assistance (though oddly, a downgrade from v1.9.2 to v1.9.1).Cons:- The web GUI is buggy. Early firmware wouldn’t allow changing the admin password. Fixed with provided v1.9.1 firmware.- Web GUI is CGI based, and is HTTP only. If you care, segment it and don't expose this to the internet, not that you should be doing that anyway. I have it in a /30 dedicated VLAN terminated at my firewall.- Over time, the GUI becomes inaccessible due to MAC address aging, requiring multiple reload attempts to reconnect. This could be seen as a pro, as the thing doesn't speak unless spoken to.- Still too early to comment on thermals or long-term reliability.- The backups are exported as a .bin file and can't be viewed/manipulated externally.- Documentation is a bit lacking and can be unclear in certain sections, making it difficult to fill in the blanks if you aren't experienced with the specific technology/feature. This was especially evident when configuring VLANs and associating them with access or trunk ports.Bottom line:For the price, this switch punches well above its weight. It’s not perfect – the web GUI quirks are frustrating – but the hardware performance and feature set are excellent. I’d recommend it for home labs or SOHO deployments where you want enterprise-like features without the enterprise price tag.*Disclaimer: I ran my word salad review through AI for formatting and refinement. I am real, so is this review.

This is a great, low-cost, simple Ethernet LAN switch that works 100% out-of-the-box, with no additional configuration required. The model I chose (SL-S06P) has 6 ports, 4 of which provide PoE/PoE+ power. Even if you don't need so much PoE power today, it can be a good idea to have a LAN switch like this already, to keep your future PoE devices truly plug-and-play. Otherwise, it works just perfectly as a regular good-old unmanaged LAN switch.Note that there seem be several model variations on this Amazon product page, so please be sure you have selected the configuration you prefer -- and don't be misled by the specs, photos, or reviews that refer to the other model variations. Again, the model I got is the 4+2 (=6) port unit, currently just $21.99. What a bargain for a 6-port switch that has PoE+!Maximum speed on this model variation (SL-S06P) is Fast Ethernet i.e. 100Mbit/second. There is an option on this unit to turn on "Extend Mode" which seems to be an option to extend the maximum allowable length of your attached LAN cables. (Usually LAN cables should be max 100M (330 ft.).) This option limits the 4 PoE ports' modes to 10 Mbit/sec (i.e. "10-Base-T"), which is old-school, but it more than doubles that allowable distance -- to 250M. I would expect it should also allow for defects in existing cable runs that would normally cause data errors. There may be some other uses for this "Extend Mode" function, but for normal, good cables, you wouldn't want or need it.Another mode option on this unit is "VLAN Mode". I did not quite understand the tiny-print manual's brief description of this function, but re-reading this Amazon product page and photos/diagrams clarifies it. It seems to be a security feature useful for security cameras or other devices or cable runs that might be subject to tampering. When "VLAN Mode" is ON, the traffic from one PoE port cannot possibly be seen on the other three PoE ports. That seems to effectively prevent eavesdropping on these devices. However, like any "security" feature, it makes the devices on those PoE ports unable to discover each other, which would not be helpful for some users or applications. I don't think I would need this feature either, so I'll just keep the option switch in the middle "OFF" position to maximize the features.There are some other PoE-rebooting features I haven't been able to try, but apparently it automatically detects and then will reboot crashed PoE devices. Sounds intelligent.This model has two cross-key-hole ("+") mounting holes on the bottom, which would allow it to be mounted in any orientation on the wall -- ports facing left, right, up, or down. I mounted it to my wire shelf using zip-ties, which was quick and elegant enough for me.It's also nice that there is no fan noise on this unit, and it does not use a wall-wart. The power cord is a AC line IEC plug. Specs says it's universal, so 100-240VAC, 50 or 60 Hz. Very neat, quiet, and it does not seem to get hot either, although my power usage is currently only 1 PoE device.That's a lot of info for a very simple and well-valued product. I expect it to keep working well.

Working great for several months, only issue I had was unable to change the default password... It would just change back to default however I don't find that to big a problem as this is just on Ian

Alles genau wie beschrieben und funktioniert ohne Probleme, perfekt.
