Chipsets are now commodity…

Likely comes pre-rooted for free too! 🫠

i own a couple of the cheap random brands like this

i think my last unmanaged 6 RJ45 port one with 2.5gb poe and 2 SFP+ 10G ports cot $90 (USD) in sept.

They are great value for money, so are the managed ones. I used it for a dedicates network for a ceph cluster (its sort of hidden in this shot on the rack shelf to the left of the ubiquiti POE switch https://gist.github.com/scyto/76e94832927a89d977ea989da157e9dc

I see you gave us the price you’d tell your SO you paid. $130 is not quite $100

As of the last 5ish months or so yes!

For when you want black and orange, but can’t afford Aruba.

if you’re going to buy a no name switch, at least get a better one… https://www.amazon.com/TEROW-2-5G-POE-Multi-Speed-Compatible/dp/B0CGDF35P1

Hi, saw this on my feed and noticed that i bought this exact switch 4 weeks ago. saddly it suddenly died a week ago. poe and networking was dead, only one led was still on. Return to amazon was flawless as usual. I dont know if it was bad luck or a general Problem. The switch was operating in a room temperature Environment and delivered about 30W of poe 24/7 to 3 access points with 2,5g and one uplink to my switch but only over 2.5g not sfp+. Until it died the switch worked perfectly fine. Maybe this helps one or another on a purchase decission.

It works fine, I have the same under a different name in my rack.

You’re clearly not in the market scavenging, this is nothing impressive… Maybe if it was managed for the $100 then …

Holding out for managed ones coming in the new year.

everyone in here has a gucci poweredge or proliant but when it comes to networking they’ll buy a potmetal switch made by a child slave in bangladesh and call it a day if it has 2.5g connections

It’s great but it’s unmanaged so for me that’s not ideal. STH has a bunch of reviews on units similar to this but all are unmanaged

Should be legit. I ordered the same one a couple of days ago. Still have to test it out

There was even cheaper options linked in this sub yesterday… including ones with 10G uplinks, and 8x 2.5G ports.
