18 Port 2.5G Umanaged Ethernet Switch, 16 x 2.5Gb Base-T Ports, 2 x 10G SFP+, Compatible with 100/1000/2500Mbps, Metal Fanless, Desktop/Rack Mount YuanLey 2.5Gbe Network Switch for Wireless AP, PC

Good cheap switch. Doesn’t have stp protection so loops can form and clog the switch. I used this as a 2.5g media converter for my incoming fiber internet connection. The included 12v power supply is ok. I used a usb c trigger to power it with no problems. Also runs 10g base t spf with no issues just gets hot as its fan less

I bought this to terminate the upstairs end of an optical fiber (Using a cheap 10GBase-SR SFP+) between the upstairs and downstairs of my AZ home. I wanted optical fiber because my connection is up/down and in AZ the induced surge in copper Ethernet from nearby (~ 1 mile) lightning strikes has twice blown out simple Ethernet switches. I knew with only a 1Gbps internet connection into my home it would be over-kill for bandwidth but I wanted to be ready for full-duplex fiber arriving one day. I had not appreciated the improvement in subjective LAN behavior brought by the lower latencies introduced by the fast buffer movements in my switches though. I do move large video files and Linux distribution ISOs around my network and now regularly see 600MBps (disk limited) transfers, and 150MBps for thousands of small files too. Very happy. This switch is quiet (fanless), runs cool, is so far reliable, and fast. The fabric is able to keep up with multiple 10GbE flows so it checks all of my needs, even the ones I had not realized before purchase. It does accept off-brand (cheap) SFP+. Recommended.

works great. plug it into your 2.5GB capable router and split it off to other pcs. Also has 2 SFP+ ports for high speed LAN between 2 pcs on home network. SFP+ 10gig card 40$ SFP+ transceiver 12$ 8$ for lc to lc multimode fiber cable. If you have multiple pcs that sends data backs and forth this is the ultimate setup on buget. 10gb copper is good but those components cost much more. After a few days of use I have come to realize the SFP transceiver gets very warm when in the switch. I put a small desk fan set on low to move a little air into the vent holes o one side of switch and out the other side. this helped tremendously. SFP+ transceiver is a 10gtek

This YuanLey 10-port unmanaged Ethernet switch exceeded my expectations. The 8 x 2.5G Base-T ports plus 2 x 10G SFP slots provide excellent speed and flexibility for my home network setup. It’s completely fanless and runs quietly, which is a huge plus. Easy to install on my desktop and compatible with all my devices, including NAS and wireless access points. Solid build quality and great performance—highly recommend.

Works fine. iperf3 says speed is close enough to 2.5Gbps. The only issue is that SFP+ ports are quite picky. I tried 3 different SFP+ to RJ-45 modules and only one of them (10Gtek 10GBase-T) worked with this switch.

It works great when it's up and running. However, it has one major flaw. When it's sitting for a long time, it just stops working and must be restarted. Until I unplug it and plug it back in, it won't pass traffic. It gets pretty warm to the touch, and I think maybe it is overheating?? I don't hear the sound of a fan, but I'm not sure if it has an internal fan anyway. So, bottom line, it works, but it's unreliable in this current state. I will admit, that it is completely possible I just got a dud, but since it will not permanently fail, I don't know if its a problem with this model or just an unlucky lemon. I was really worried about buying a bargain switch for this reason. If it continues I'm going to return it. I'm giving it the benefit of a "break in" period.

Seems to be a solid switch with a metal case. Setup was easy - I was literally up and running in 2 minutes. 2.5GB ports took slightly longer to negotiate than 1GB ports but all ports negotiated to the correct speed/duplex within a few seconds. I do not have any 10GB devices to test the SFP+ ports. Traffic seems to be flowing properly with no errors detected. Being significantly less expensive than competing products, I'll have to wait and see how it withstands the test of time but my initial experience and impressions have been excellent.

Currently working on my 2 gig network connection with no issues. Will soon try to add my NAS from my 1 gig switch to this one.

Ho preso questo switch per ampliare le capacità di rete avendo una rete di casa tutta cablata, dubbioso per la brand, ma viste altre recensioni positive mi sono convinto, confermo che è un ottimo apparecchio, fa egregiamente il suo lavoro, di ottima fattura solida. Ho fatto dei test con tool iperf con ottimi risultati, tra due pc, entrambi, con scheda di rete 2.5 dedicata su tratta di circa 20 mt con risultati costanti sui 2.33 Gb\s (cavi Cat 7). Consigliato rispetta le promesse.

Bell Aliant Users - Finally a Device that Syncs at the 2.5G your GPRON requires. It was either this Device or a Ubiquiti Switch for $700 - With Amazon's amazing return program, I decided to give it a shot. Received it in two days, Plugged the SFP into the SFP Port, and the Cat6 into the RJ45 jacks from my UDM SE to this Device, told the UDM to VLAN tag 35 on the 2.5G WAN port and It Immediately connected, and started Syncing at 2.5 GB - Amazing! - I Spent years looking for a Device that could do this for under $500, and I Finally found it. No more 800 Mbps speed tests, now im getting 1.2GB From my UDM SE on Download, and 940 Mbps on Upload. Additionally, this Device does not get Hot unlike some of the other Media Converters on the Market. After a Solid Week of Internet Traffic, with no downtime - It's still cool to the Touch! - Now let's hope this Switch lasts for years to come! Very Satisfied, and you will be too! - I will be Recommending this device to all my networking friends/people who want to free themself from the HH3000 with Bell

Switch is prijs kwaliteit gezien wel heel goed. Ben er blij mee heb alleen nog niet de 10gb uit kunnen proberen. Heb het op mijn nas aangesloten en top.

Dont know whats going on, just plugged this in and am getting a flashing power light. No cables connecting to ports who any lights, cant get a connection from any devices. Is this blown, a dud?

I’m using the YuanLey YS25-0402, the model with 4× 2.5Gb ports and 2× 10Gb SFP+ uplinks, and I paired it with FlexOptic 10G BiDi LC transceivers programmed to MSA/Generic so any switch can use them. The setup worked instantly and far better than I expected. ✔️ 10Gb Optics Work Perfectly The moment I inserted the FlexOptic BiDi modules, the switch locked in at 10,000 Mbps full-duplex with zero problems. No vendor lock, no config, no negotiation issues — literally plug-and-play. The link is: Fully stable No flapping or drops No packet errors Runs cool Works flawlessly across floors For a budget unmanaged switch, the behaviour is honestly impressive. ✔️ Using It as a Home Fibre Backbone My setup uses a 60m run of bend-insensitive LC-UPC fibre to link my ground floor to my third floor. Ground Floor → Third Floor (10Gb BiDi Fibre): SFP+ Port 1 → FlexOptic BiDi (MSA/Generic) Single-strand fibre (BiDi saves one core) SFP+ Port 1 on the second switch → matching FlexOptic module Solid 10Gb link end-to-end On the third floor I feed: My PC via 2.5Gb PCIe My ASUS TUF-AX3000 V2 in AP mode (full 2.5Gb backhaul) Even with heavy transfers, the 10Gb backbone stays completely stable. ✔️ Real-World Performance Fibre backbone: 10Gb stable with <1ms latency PC gets full 2.5Gb AP delivers 900–1200 Mbps WiFi 6 in the same room No bottlenecks, no slowdowns The second SFP+ port also leaves room for upgrades (NAS, another floor, 10Gb server, etc.). ✔️ Final Verdict The YuanLey YS25-0402 + FlexOptic 10G BiDi LC (MSA/Generic) combo is honestly one of the best affordable multi-gig solutions you can build. You get: A real 10Gb optical backbone 2.5Gb multi-gig on each floor Full stability Universal optic compatibility Silent, cool, and completely plug-and-play For the price, the performance is on par with switches that cost 3× more. Highly recommended.
