- Do I need to configure anything?
- No. It is unmanaged, so it forwards traffic automatically once devices are connected.
- Can it connect to 1G and 2.5G devices?
- Yes. The 10G ports negotiate down to slower speeds, so older devices work alongside 10G ones.
- Does it support VLANs or link aggregation?
- No. It has no management interface, so VLANs, QoS and link aggregation are not available.
- Can I mount it in a rack?
- No. It is a desktop unit and is not rack-mountable.
- What cabling does 10G need?
- 10G over copper needs Cat6a or better cabling for full speed at longer runs.
- Is it worth it over a gigabit switch?
- If you regularly move large files between 10G-capable devices, yes. For internet-only use, a gigabit switch is enough.
