For a 10 gigabit per port switch, plugging a 25 megabit PoE camera in would be a bit wasteful.

Can you provide a link to another 8 port 10 gb/s switch for less?

About 2 years ago I paid $200 for an 8 port net gear switch with only two 10 gb/s ports. But I needed a fat data connection from my office computer to my server.

10 gb networking is still really expensive. In fact, it has only been the most recent generation of motherboards (z690, and x670) where even 2.5 gb/s has become relatively standard. Before that it has only been on the crazy expensive "godlike" line of motherboards to get more than a 1 gb/s nic.

Quote from RockPasta :
I bet some of the people buying this have cat5e runs anyway, defeating the purpose of having 10gb/s ports. cat5e is only ever going to hit 1 gb/s. Cat6 is a bitch to run and if your house wasn't built yesterday, you probably dont have it.

If you live in a house that is wired for ethernet, you almost definitely arent getting 10gb/s out of the wire itself. This is basically an ELITE business class purpose switch.
You can easily do 10Gbps over Cat5E, over reasonable distances i.e. 20m.

I have several TrendNET 10GbE switches and have tested this with spools of Cat5E.

Not sure what makes cat 6 anymore difficult to run than cat 5e or any other cable for that matter

Indeed, there is a 'tax' to go from 1GbE networking to 10GbE networking.

Quote from kherbinoskie :
Not a good price.

No POE+
No features (layer3, vlan tagging.. etc)
No SFP+ ports
You're asking for features that don't exist at anywhere near this price point.

Just because a Corvette doesn't have 4 wheel drive and can't do off-roading doesn't mean it's not a good deal at 10% off.

Because you are not looking good enough.

It does exists and sometimes even cheaper while having more features. I scored one of the Netgear MS510TXPP just a while back. The MS510TXPP is far superior in almost everyway. The features alone is unmatched and not even close.

The price of MS510TXPP fluctuates to $350 and that's normal but I was lucky enough to get it at $252. Check camelcamelcamel [urlhasbeenblocked]history price and you will see what I mean. Price may come back down again anytime soon. Keep your eyes open.

A lot of people have no clue what they talking about in this thread, those people who are saying this is too expensive have never priced out real 10g switches recently or at all. They are comparing standard 1gig switches to this which is a huge mistake. Overall this is a good deal. Also when setting up a home network you dont NEED every port to be 10gig just at the important choke points.

Actually Cat 5E cause of IEEE 802.3bz has been certified to easily achieve 2.5Gbps speeds at 100 meters and depending on the size of the run can achieve much higher, so you would have been right like 8 years ago.

Also CAT 6 is also not guaranteed for 10Gbps transfer its actually CAT 6A.

Cable has a bigger cross section is thicker and more rigid.

So I prefer the QNAP 6 port and also they have a 4 port combo switch with 2 10gig and 4 2.5gig ports for around $270 right now and even cheaper open box.

Yeah that switch only has 2 10g ports. The one on this post has 8 so it just depends on what you want. More features or more 10g ports. This is a decent deal for 10g switch.
