2.5G Multi-Gig Switch for NAS and Gaming

The NETGEAR ProSafe switch delivers eight 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and one 10G SFP+ uplink for high-speed local networking. It connects NAS devices, PCs, gaming consoles and WiFi 6 access points at up to 2.5Gbps per port. The fanless aluminium housing provides silent operation. Web-based management enables VLAN, QoS, LACP and IGMP snooping configuration.

Suits Small Business and Advanced Home Networks

This switch fits environments needing multi-gigabit throughput without fan noise, such as media editing workstations or dense wireless deployments. Buyers requiring Power over Ethernet for cameras or phones must look elsewhere, as this model does not supply PoE. Networks limited to 1GbE cabling or adapters will not reach the 2.5Gbps capability.

One 10G SFP+ Uplink Requires Separate Module

The single 10G SFP+ port accepts compatible transceivers, DAC or AOC cables for uplink to routers or aggregation switches. No module is included in the box. Jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes are supported. Full wire-speed forwarding ensures low latency across all nine ports.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8-port 2.5G RJ45 version or the 1-port 10G SFP+ version?

The single unit includes both eight 2.5G RJ45 ports and one 10G SFP+ uplink, so no separate version choice is needed.

What does the 2.5Gbps headline speed mean once the switch is installed in my network?

Each RJ45 port forwards at up to 2.5Gbps when the connected NIC, router and Cat6 or higher cables also support that rate.

How does the 10G SFP+ interface limit real-world throughput?

The SFP+ uplink accepts 1G, 2.5G or 10G modules and caps at the module’s rated speed, providing flexible aggregation to routers or servers.
