6 Port 2.5Gb Unmanaged PoE Switch with 2x10G SFP+ Uplink - Fast PoE

In this review the focus is on a compact, unmanaged PoE switch built for small networks that need more than 1G per port. The bottom line: this unit is for installers and small IT teams who want a simple, silent way to deliver both up to 2.5Gb data and PoE+ power to edge devices without configuration. It stands out because it combines four 2.5G-capable PoE ports with dual 10G SFP+ uplinks and a 130W PoE budget in a fanless metal chassis, making it an easy upgrade for 2.5Gb NAS, WiFi6 APs, and 4K PoE cameras.

Key Features

• 4x 2.5G PoE Ports: Ports 1-4 support 100/1000/2500Mbps and 802.3af/at to power APs and cameras without extra power supplies.
• 2x 10G SFP+ Uplinks: Dual SFP+ ports let the switch break out a 10G backbone to multiple switches or a server for full uplink throughput.
• 130W Total PoE Budget: Each PoE port can deliver up to 30W with a combined budget of 130W to run several PoE+ devices concurrently.
• 60Gbps Switching Capacity: A non-blocking switching fabric handles multi-gig traffic aggregation for NAS, gaming PCs, and APs.
• Quiet, Fanless Metal Design: The sturdy metal shell with 6KV lightning protection keeps operation silent and stable for desktop or rack-mount installs.

Who It's For

This switch is aimed at small businesses, integrators, and advanced home users who have moved to multi-gig equipment such as 2.5Gb NAS, WiFi6 access points, or 4K PoE cameras and need PoE+ power alongside faster-than-gigabit ports. It is a good fit where a simple, plug-and-play unmanaged device is preferred over a managed switch.

Users who need advanced VLANs, QoS policies, or remote management should look elsewhere at managed switches. Also, very large deployments that require centralized power budgets beyond 130W or hot-swappable redundancy will need a higher-end solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Supports true 2.5G on RJ45 PoE ports for faster edge device connections and smoother NAS or AP performance.
• Dual 10G SFP+ uplinks provide full 10G backbone connectivity, with customers reporting full 10G transfer on those ports.
• Fanless, silent operation in a metal chassis keeps noise and heat low while offering 6KV protection.
• Good value for money with easy, configuration-free setup and solid transfer speeds.

Cons

• Unmanaged design means no VLAN or traffic shaping for networks that need granular control.
• Total PoE budget of 130W may limit very large arrays of high-power PoE+ devices.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The switch is a practical, cost-effective upgrade for small networks that need multi-gig Ethernet plus PoE+ without management overhead. It delivers solid 2.5G data rates on RJ45 ports and reliable 10G uplinks in a quiet, compact package, making it a sensible buy for installers and small IT teams who value speed and simplicity over advanced management features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the SFP+ ports reach full 10G?
Yes, the dual SFP+ uplinks support full 10G throughput and have been reported to sustain full 10G transfers.

How much power does each PoE port provide?
Each PoE port can supply up to 30W, with a combined PoE budget of 130W for the unit.

Is setup required to use multi-gig speeds?
No, this is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch that automatically negotiates 1G or 2.5G speeds on compatible devices.
