24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch, Steel Case Ethernet Splitter, Desktop & Rackmount, Plug-in-play,Energy-Saving (TL-SG1024)

This little switch is an absolute networking ninja. Out of the box, it just works — no nonsense, no fiddling, no firmware drama. Plugged it into both a Mac and a Windows PC, and boom: instant link, blazing performance, and zero compatibility weirdness. The 2.5GbE speeds are rock solid. Transfers are buttery smooth, latency is negligible, and it chews through high-bandwidth tasks without breaking a sweat. It runs cool and quiet, even when it’s fully loaded. If a device doesn’t support 2.5GbE, the switch gracefully drops to 1Gbps (T1000) without a hitch. No disconnects, no drops

Works immediately upon plugging in. If you need a simple switch, this is a great choice.

did what i needed it to do

Excellent switch which shows my Qnap NAS has 2.5gb. Well made, easy to use and just works. Highly recommended.

Great little piece of kit, did exactly what I wanted out of the box. With my PC, and printer, being at the opposite end of my room to the router, I ran an ethernet cable (Cat 6) to the PC. Instead of running two so I could wire the printer in as well, I bought this to split it. It does need to be powered to work so, instead of being able to power it via a USB on the PC, I've had to power it seperately so I can still print from other devices over the network when the PC is off. The ethernet cable that is in the box is 1.5mtrs long and does feel a little cheap. For those that need to know the information on that cable, it is UTP CAT5e 26AWG 60C 30V TIA/EIA 568B.2. Don't understand why they would send a Cat5e in this day and age, so I bought 2 Rhino cables seperately as they are the bees knees. Overall very pleased, can't comment on longevity as I've only just set it up. Fingers crossed though.

The product came well wrapped, easy instructions and simple set up. It is made of metal, so it should last in most areas and feels solid. Connections are solid as well as the indicator lights. its a very quiet unit and should power whatever you need i currently have 2 PoE cameras and a PoE doorbell connected. I have a lot of tp gear and it seems to hold up the test of time so I imagine this will be no different

Needed to upgrade my setup with 2.5gb ports after internet speed increase to 2.5gb, this was one of the cheaper switches (comes in a metal case) without being managed and having to be tied into an ecosystem, worked straight away and haven't had any problems in the last 6 months of ownership.

A perfect solution I can use my single ethernet cable from my router and work both my PC and Laptop. This has improve my connectivity greatly.
