Review: Seems to work just fine. Nice combination of 1G and 10G ports. - I’m using this in an unmanaged home network. I’ve been upgrading the connections between my workstations and servers to 10G. This provides a really nice combination of ports in the office. Allows me to connect in a10G run to my main workstations, a other 10G run to my servers in the next room and plenty of 1G ports for connections to printers, my internet connection, and off to entertainment systems around the house. And the SFP port will come in handy for a future backup server I want to locate in a work shed on the property to provide a remote backup in case of disaster. I’m just using it in its default configuration. Have not tried connecting to its web server or modifying any settings as the default seems fine for what I need. Unlike others who said it seems to run really hot, the temperature doesn’t seem overly high compared to a couple 5 port 10G and 2.5G switches I have. I did put teller feet on it (about 3/8 inch) than the very low ones they provide in the box to provide a bit better air flow around the bottom. This send like it would be a good change for the manufactured to make. Also I’m not using quite all the ports currently (6 of 8 1G, 2 of 3 10G, and the SFP port is unused. I’ve only had it a couple days, but quite happy with the purchase so far. Seems like good value fir the cost.
Review: Compatible with H!Fiber Green SFP+ Cable, 10G SFP+ DAC - The Zyxel XGS1250-12 is simple to setup and the SFP+ port connected to the Zyxel XMG-108 using the H!Fiber Green SFP+ Cable, 10G SFP+ DAC at 10G without issue. In addition to the SFP+ port operating at 10G via the H!Fiber Twinax cable, I have a Synology connected on a 10GbE port and two 5GbE connected to the other high-speed ports. The fan is quiet; I think its running at 50% so it probably be louder if everything was on 10GbE. The switch does not get overly hot, but it is warm, I would not put anything on top of it or block the fan.

### ⭐⭐⭐ A little warm
*by N***E on July 17, 2022*

Update 3/29/26: The USB fan and heat sink solution works well. The unit has been quite cool and nothing has died. The internal fan is still dead, of course. It’s a shame because this switch has a lot going for it otherwise. Update 7/16/25: The first unit had a 10gb port fail within the warranty. They claimed this was not a known problem, but searching for this model and reading reviews indicates otherwise. I got a replacement and it's been going longer. I think the issue is that the crappy fan just dies after 6 months and the unit gets very, very hot. The switch was feeding a 75 ft run, so that likely made it worse. I moved to a SFP+ MM fiber module for the longer run, which likely helped. I measured 115F with the fiber connection and it will drop the speed of ports because it knows it's too hot. This is with two 10gb devices and one 2.5gb device. Fan has been dead for months. I just ended up getting some heatsinks and stuck them to the top. That made the heatsinks really hot. Next, I put a small USB fan on top of the heatsinks and that appears to keep it cool. It's still basically impossible to find a small switch with 4 10gb ports and 8 1gb ports other than this one. Original Review: This is one of the very few relatively inexpensive switches with a few multi-rate gigabit ports. It has 3 of those and one SFP+ port. It does get rather warm doing 10 Gb over copper on my 75 foot run, but when I switched to 25M of fiber, it ran much cooler. It is managed, but those functions are pretty limited. Basic VLAN and very, very limited bonding. But it's sufficient as a port expander for my home office with a 10 Gb link back to my core switch.
