Compact 2.5G desktop switch

The NETGEAR ProSafe SW5-25G is an unmanaged desktop switch with five 2.5G RJ45 ports and one 10G SFP+ uplink. It targets home-office and small-business users who need multi-gigabit wired connectivity without configuration. The fanless metal chassis operates silently from -20 to 50 °C.

Before ordering

Verify that your router, NAS or PC network adapters support 2.5G speeds; the switch will negotiate down to the lowest common rate. Ensure you have Cat6 or better pure-copper cabling for the 2.5G links. The 10G SFP+ port requires a compatible transceiver module and fibre or DAC cable, which are not included.

Build integration

The unit draws power from an external adapter and adds 45 Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity to the LAN. Its desktop or wall-mount format fits tight spaces and frees up rack slots. Jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes pass through for storage or video workloads. No management software or licensing is needed.

Questions about this item

Does the NETGEAR ProSafe SW5-25G include any SFP+ modules or cables, or must they be purchased separately?

The switch has one 10G SFP+ uplink port but ships without transceivers or cables; compatible SFP+ modules and fibre or copper cables must be bought separately.

Should I choose the 5-port model or a larger 8, 16 or 24-port version for my setup?

Pick the 5-port unit when you need up to five 2.5G RJ45 connections plus a single 10G SFP+ uplink; step up to 8, 16 or 24 ports only if you require more 2.5G RJ45 ports or additional uplinks.

What does the 45 Gbps switching capacity mean for actual throughput on the 2.5G and 10G ports?

The 45 Gbps aggregate fabric lets all five 2.5G ports and the 10G uplink run at line rate simultaneously without blocking.
