8 Port 10G Web Managed Switch,8X10G SFP+ Ports, Link Aggregation/QoS/VLAN/IGMP, Wall Mounted Fanless 10Gb Multi-gig Network Switch

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! 👍

I was a little worried about trying some of these switches as I've seen horror stories of some no names in the past. These are actually pretty great for their price. I use a few of these at home now and even purchased a big daddy 12 port version from them. All have been flawless in operation. I'll definitely be back if I need capacity.

Upgraded a mixed network with both 1Gb & 2.5Gb systems. Systems with 2.5Gb LAN daily move very large files back & forth between production & storage server.Old 1GB switch limited transfer speeds. SODOLA switch ups speeds to 280 MB/s and more than halves transfer times.Very little slowdown with multiple simultaneous transfers.Switch case is solid metal, only gets warm under load. Dual speed leds are useful. RJ ports are tight & latch solidly.Install was literally P&P with no configuration on any network systems.Has been in constant operation for 10 days with no network issues. Long-term reliability TBD

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.

I upgraded from a non-managed Sodola 8-port 2.5G with 10G sfp+ to this 24-port 2.5G with 2x 10G sfp+ and I am very happy with it so far. For the price it was a great option. My previous Sodola switch worked great, never any issues and so far this one is working out very well also. The management interface is simple and easy to use and has good features, it is easier to use then Cisco's interface for similar models. I only used the GUI and don't know if this model has a console but, I don't care about that anyway.

Purchased 3x of these switches, from SOLDA to upgrade my home network. I got 2x 6 port with 2 SFP+ and one of the 8 port with 1 SFP+. I have most 2.5G RJ45 ports with cat5e on 2.5G and 1G. One of the switches tied into existing network that uses using 2x SFP+. It runs super cool compared to any other SFP switch I own. Overall the price is an excellent value saving me hundreds of dollars over name brand (for managed 2.5G switches). I have an existing Unifi network and didn't want to spend $200 more per 2.5G Unifi switch or wire in additional networking into my home.Speed: Iperf test TCP with 2 devices with 9k MTU on different ports in parallel for 30 seconds. 2.44Gb/s on one device, 2.46Gb/s on the other. UDP iperf tests showed 0% packet loss, 0.007ms jitter.Features: I am using the following features. All work well with minimal issues.VLANs tagged, native (PVID), and untagged. Jumbo frames at 9k. IGMP Snooping. 3x port LACP Trunk. RSTP with one SODOLA switch as root worked great and without any issues. QOS on Ports.Issues I faced:1. Admin interface was at 192.168.2.1 and I am under a different subnet. I first plugged it into my PC and setup DHCP and then moved it into desired room. One thing the interface doesn't tell you is you have to go to Tools -> Save to store settings when power cycles. Lost settings a few times before realizing it.2. My network doesn't have loops, but it went down multiple times during setup. What I found is that STP or RSTP must be enabled.3. Don't send ICMPs to the switch. I sent 9k ICMPs to test jumbo frames and every time it crashes the management interface and has to be power cycled.All issues were very minor with workarounds.
