TRENDnet 8-Port 2.5Gb Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Gaming Switch, TEG-S380, 8 x 2.5GBASE-T Ports, 25Gbps Switching Capacity, Ethernet Splitter, NDAA & TAA Compliant, Fanless, Lifetime Protection, Black

I bought the TRENDnet 8-Port 2.5G switch along with some Cat8 Ethernet cables, and it’s been excellent from the start. It worked right out of the box — no setup or configuration needed. I’ve got 8 different devices connected to it, including security cameras, streaming devices, and my gaming setup, and everything runs smooth with zero lag or glitches. The build quality is solid, and I really appreciate that it’s fanless — completely silent in my setup. The 2.5G speed is a great upgrade over standard gigabit, especially since it works with existing Cat5e and above cabling. The switch has handled everything I’ve thrown at it without even blinking. If you’re looking to expand your wired network with faster speeds and hassle-free setup, this switch is a great choice. Highly recommend it for both home and small office use.

I replaced four of my 1Gb switches with these TrendNet 2.5Gb 8 8-port switches. My internet is 2.5Gb so I wanted to take advantage of the speed on the devices that could exceed 1Gbps. After installation, I did a speed test and all my capable devices are now getting maximum throughput. Swapping the old 1Gbps switches for the new 2.5Gbps switches was basically plug-and-play. I put the new switches on top of the old ones. Then, one by one, I pulled the Ethernet cables out of the old switch and plugged them into the new one. Everything just worked out of the gate. The Trendnet switches are competitively priced and work as advertised. Five stars met all expectations

I was typically a prossafe Netgear person exclusively, but after doing some research these were actually closer to what I was used to with Netgear's gigabit models, as I was used to silent cool and power efficient operation. The newer MS308 gets rather hit and is a bit more power hungry as well. So far I'm happy with it, although I will note that the ports are slightly smaller/have a tighter tolerance, and the cables I made using a particular end would fit fine in most ports of other devices with no issue, but we're extremely hard to jam into these ports. I'm going to guess not an issue for most users a bit still possible to be an issue depending on what ends you have and the tolerances.

Worked nicely ootb. The cables have a nice “click” feeling when connecting to it. There are various pictures of this model floating around , one showing front panel is wide , and there’s extra space on the side. I was unsure, as i needed to place this is a tiny space - the *correct* picture is the one showing here - where the front panel and power inlet are condensed, and there not much space left on the sides

It's doing exactly what it is supposed to do, unmanaged, and is able to be hit at least two ways with 270MB/s transfer speeds between my computer, and server. It replaced an old netgear 1gig 16 port I've been 'meh' to replace, until it died. My only massive complaint about this is the power connector, it should be illegal to have the prongs so that you have to plug it in up and down the length of a standard power bar, I had to fish out 2 prong extension cable just to plug into the power bar, /then/ plug the stupid thing into the extension cord! Why couldn't it have been a sideways prong?! You literally take 4 or more spots up on a power bar you *self censored* and it looks ugly. Sideways is king, if it's not just a 2 prong cable.

I bought this 2.5GB to upgrade a 1GB TRENDnet 8-port switch. This brand has worked flawlessly for me. Unlike most other brands where the AC power cord plugs into the front on the side with the lights, the TRENDnet has the AC plug in the back so I can plug it in at the edge of the desk. That way I can see the lights and the power plug is hidden in the back and the power cord is off the desk. Even though only 2/8 cables are actually using the 2.5GB access, this was a worthwhile upgrade for future proofing and my other 1GB switch (8 years old) is now a handy backup switch.

Works great for my complicated Wi-Fi system

Although 2.5G switches are still a bit expensive, this one is priced well and is works great with no issues. Testing the throughput showed the full 2.5G with no dips or drops. It up/down links to other switches fine. There is no hum or coil whine. It only gets slightly warm, not anywhere near as hot as a cable gateway or Wifi router. The construction is solid with a metal housing and both mounting holes and rubber feet on the bottom. There are no flashy colors or logos. One thing I particularly like is that the network, LED, and power plug are on the same side. Cheaper switches have the power plug on the front, which would making cabling look messy. 9/10

dont know what is "gaming" about it. gives proper 2.5Gbps per port, keeps barely warm, silent.

Excellent switch without any configuration just plug and play as described with 2.5g

It feels solidly built, and the performance is great. There is not really a lot of heat generated either, and it just sits there nicely in my rack all day doing exactly what it needs to do and nothing more.

Por ahora funciona perfectamente. No hay cortes de tráfico como si pasa con el QNAP de 2.5 Gb de 5 puertos (QSW-1105-5T). Por ahora funciona muy bien y muy estable. Ya veremos con el paso de los meses de uso.

Fonctionne très bien ne chauffe pas, assez compacte, je recomande Le Switch est enfermé dans mon boîtier VDI a la verticale avec la Freebox posé juste au dessus est aucun problème de surchauffe, les débit sont au rendez vous, reste plus qu'à avoir un prix plus faible (80€) pour du Switch 2,5gb sans sfp+ serait bien, manque une pise de terre pour mettre a la masse toute l'installation
