NETGEAR ProSafe 2.5G desktop switch

The NETGEAR ProSafe 2G04210GSN is an unmanaged desktop switch with four 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports and two 10 Gbps SFP+ uplink slots. It targets small offices or home users who need faster wired links for WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 access points or a NAS without rewiring existing CAT-5E cabling. Plug-and-play operation requires no configuration.

60 Gbps backplane with 9216-byte jumbo frames

The 60 Gbps non-blocking fabric handles simultaneous 2.5 Gbps traffic on all four copper ports plus 10 Gbps uplinks for servers or core switches. Each RJ45 port auto-negotiates 10, 100, 1000 and 2.5 Gbps speeds. Throughput drops if aggregate demand exceeds the 60 Gbps backplane or if longer cable runs reduce link negotiation to lower rates.

Fanless metal chassis with desktop or wall mounting

A silent, fanless metal enclosure removes moving parts and allows placement on a desk or wall bracket. Front LEDs show power, link status and negotiated port speed for quick troubleshooting. No SFP+ modules are included, so buyers must source compatible 1G or 10G transceivers separately for the uplink slots.

Questions about this item

Will my Cat5e cables work with the 2.5G ports on this switch?

Yes, the 4× 2.5 Gbps ports are compliant with IEEE802.3bz and support 10/100/1000M/2.5G adaptive speeds over existing Cat5e cabling.

How can I verify the 2.5G links are active after plugging in devices?

The power and port LED indicators display running status and port rate status so you can confirm each link is operating at 2.5 Gbps.

Does the box include SFP+ modules for the 10G uplinks?

No, the 2× 10 Gbps SFP+ slots accept compatible 1G or 10G modules which must be purchased separately.
