2.5G Uplink Switch Module

The BFKK switch module adds a 2.5 Gigabit uplink port and four 1000 Mbps ports to a wired network. It operates as an unmanaged plug-and-play hub with a fanless metal case that can sit on a desk or be wall-mounted. The unit works with Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6a cabling and supports the 2.5G standard.

Home and small-office users needing faster uplink

This module suits setups where a server or NAS has a 2.5G port and several clients share the connection without saturating the 1G links. It is not for buyers who require managed features such as VLANs, QoS or link aggregation. It also does not serve installations that need more than four 1G downstream ports or a 10G uplink.

Check your existing cabling and device ports

Verify that the upstream device provides a 2.5G RJ45 port to use the uplink at full speed. Confirm that the four downstream devices have 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces. Ensure a suitable power source is available for the module. No software configuration is required.

Questions about this item

What uplink speed does the 2.5G port need on my router or server to reach full throughput?

Connect the 2.5G uplink to a 2.5G port on the router or server; the port is backwards compatible with 10/100/1000Mbps devices.

Can I keep my existing Cat5e cables when adding this switch?

Yes, the Multi-Gigabit RJ45 ports support Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and above, so no re-cabling is required.

How do I confirm the 2.5G uplink is actually running at 2.5Gbps after plugging everything in?

Check the port LED on the switch; it will indicate the negotiated link speed for the 2.5G uplink.
