A cost effective way to jump on the Multi-Gigabit wagon if you have 1Gb clients and Multi-Gig backend. Two ports out of the 10 are Multi-Gigabit up to 10G. I connected one to the router and got 2.5G right away on CAT5E and CAT6 mixed cabling which is my current max without any link aggregation. A true 10G 8-port switch would’ve cost at least 3 times more, so this was a no-brainer until the technology becomes more accessible.Regarding the physical build, it’s an all metal body fan-less switch with some bracket hardware included. It also comes with plastic feet in case you want to rest it horizontally on a desk. Power adapter socket is in the back, and all Ethernet sockets are in the front. I just positioned it vertically on the back of my equipment cabinet, and without any hardware attached, it would tip over, which means the weight is distributed evenly without any sides being heavier than the other. Overall, it’s very well made. Thanks for reading, and good luck with your decision.

So far a good switch. And runs everything at the 1 gb connection. I am minus 1 star for the title and no where in the description did it say the SFP+ port supports on fiber modules only. It does not support 10G copper modules and will not pass traffic through a 10G copper module. But 1 gb is supported. So for a 1 gb switch it works great but unless you have a 10gb fiber sfp+ the uplink is worthless. I was hoping to run my 10gb connection from my router to my switch using the uplink. And have the switch split off all the 1gb connections. Looks like just 1 gb all the way.

I bought two of these NETGEAR 10-Port Gigabit/10G Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS110MX) to two older, and failed, Dell PowerEdge SC1420. I've been pleasantly with their speed on my network and have no complaints about their operation.

Technical support was very helpful. Had my issues resolved in 10 minutes. The unit is running great. I’d highly recommend using them.

This switch comes with 2 10Gb ethernet ports - which was perfect for my needs as both my file server and workstation have 10Gb ports; all my other network devices are 1Gb so this seemed to be exactly what I needed.I had been using a random collection of patch cables that I had accumulated over the years - a mix of cat5, cat5e, and possibly cat6. To ensure that the cables would not be an issue, I also bought new cat6 cables along with this switch. Once it arrived, I got it all hooked up and performed a quick file transfer test (around 4GB) from my workstation to the file server - the transfer speeds definitely showed a significant improvement. The next day, I tried playing a video file over the network from the file server - and immediately saw stuttering, pauses of several seconds, and image artifacts - which are indications that the video player is not getting the video data. This was not present on my old 1Gb switch. I even ordered new cat6a patch cables - same issue.I verified that both computers were showing 10Gb as their connection speed. I checked the switch, and it was hot to the touch, very uncomfortable to touch - almost burning. The switch was on its own self, no ventilation holes obstructed, plenty of empty space around. I switched from both 10Gb port to the 1Gb ports - immediately the temperature of the switch dropped (still very warm, but able to help my hand on it comfortably). The issue with video playback over the network disappeared.My educated guess is that the lack of an active cooling solution is causing the chips to overheat when using the 10Gb ports, which then results in dropped packets. When just transferring files, this is not a huge issue as Window's SMB uses the TCP protocol, which has builtin mechanisms for dealing with dropped packets; with the higher transfer speeds - even a relatively high amount of dropped packets will still give a higher throughput over 1Gb ports. This however is not true when either directly viewing or modifying a file; and will be especially true in viewing a video over the 10Gb ports. This is because, say about 10% of packets needed for 60 frames (2 seconds) of video are dropped, well the TCP protocol will request them again; however by the time they arrive - the video player will assemble what packets it already received, display them (with artifacts or stuttering) and then move one to the next frames. When the replacement packets do arrive, the player has already moved on from those frames.The conclusion - this is pretty much an overpriced 1Gb switch. The 10Gb ports just do not work as needed. They *may* be fine if you are using them to transfer files and not to directly view/modify the files. However, I would urge caution even then, as if the chips are getting hot enough to heat the metal case to "almost burning" and are dropping packets already - this does not give me confidence that they will last long. I am returning the one I bought.
