10G Ethernet Switch 8-Port with 6 RJ45 + 2 SFP+ - Compact 160Gbps

Our review of this 8-port 10G Ethernet switch finds it best suited to small teams, home labs, and prosumers who need multi-gig uplinks without fuss. The standout reason to buy is simple: it delivers a mix of six multi-gig RJ45 ports and two 10G SFP+ ports in a compact metal chassis with plug-and-play simplicity, so devices like NAS, WiFi 6 APs, and gaming PCs can share higher bandwidth without complicated setup.

Key Features

• Multi-gig ports: Six 10Gbps RJ45 ports auto-negotiate across 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100Mbps to support a range of modern devices without manual configuration.
• SFP+ uplinks: Two 10G SFP+ ports provide fiber-ready or direct-attach options for high-bandwidth connections to servers and switches.
• High switching capacity: A 160Gbps switching capacity and 119.04Mpps forwarding rate keep bursts of traffic moving smoothly across multiple clients.
• Unmanaged ease: The switch is plug-and-play with no setup required, making it easy to add 10G links to an existing network quickly.
• Durable cooling: Metal housing, double-sided vents and a quiet 24dB fan aim to keep operation stable across a wide temperature range.
• Rack or desktop: Includes rack ears and a compact footprint so it can be mounted in a 19-inch rack or sit on a desk.

Who It's For

Network hobbyists, small office setups and home labs that need to upgrade beyond gigabit speeds will get the most value, particularly when mixing NAS, multiple PCs and WiFi 6 access points. The combination of RJ45 multi-gig ports and SFP+ makes it a practical hub for mixed copper and fiber environments.

Those who require managed features such as VLANs, QoS controls, or advanced monitoring should look elsewhere; this is an unmanaged switch intended for straightforward connectivity rather than network policy control.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact 8-port layout with both 10G RJ45 and SFP+ gives flexible high-speed connections for NAS and servers.
• Plug-and-play operation removes configuration hurdles for non-specialists.
• Solid metal build, quiet fan and lightning protection help reliability in small server rooms.
• 160Gbps switching capacity handles concurrent multi-device traffic well.

Cons

• Unmanaged design means no VLAN or traffic shaping for networks that need granular control.
• Some users report mixed results reaching full copper 10G distances depending on cabling and devices, so cable quality matters.

Our Verdict

This 8-port 10G switch is a practical, cost-effective choice for small offices and home labs that need more than gigabit links but do not need managed features. Its mix of multi-gig RJ45 and SFP+ ports, solid switching capacity and simple plug-and-play design make it good value for adding high-speed connectivity to NAS, WiFi 6 APs and workstations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this switch need configuration?
No. It is an unmanaged, plug-and-play switch that works once powered and connected.

Can copper ports run full 10G over common cables?
10GBase-T works on Cat6 (shorter run) or Cat6a and above for full distance; cable quality affects 10G performance.

Is it suitable for rack installation?
Yes. The unit ships with rack ears and also fits on a desktop for flexible placement.
