NETGEAR 8-port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch provides eight 2.5 Gbps-capable ports for faster wired connections in offices and homes. The switch supports non-blocking switching with a 40 Gbps fabric to maintain full line-rate throughput and features auto-negotiation to establish the highest common link speed with connected devices. Its fanless design enables silent operation, and the unit includes hardware for desktop or wall mounting. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power use during low traffic or idle links.

Advantages

The switch delivers multi-gigabit connectivity without requiring new cabling, enabling higher throughput for PCs, NAS, and access points. Non-blocking 40 Gbps fabric prevents congestion when multiple devices are active. Auto-negotiation ensures straightforward plug-and-play setup by selecting the optimal speed per port. Fanless construction allows placement in noise-sensitive areas, and the included mounting kit offers flexible installation options. Energy Efficient Ethernet lowers power consumption when ports are lightly used or idle.

Key specifications

• Ports: 8 × 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports
• Switching capacity: 40 Gbps line-rate fabric
• Per-port bandwidth: up to 2.5 Gbps
• Auto-negotiation: automatic highest common speed
• Design: fanless (silent operation)
• Mounting: desktop placement or wall mount (hardware included)
• Power-saving: Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az)

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface or mount it to a wall using the supplied brackets and screws. Connect each device using standard Ethernet cables; the switch will auto-negotiate the highest supported speed with the connected device. Power the unit, and verify link LEDs to confirm active connections. For optimal cooling, avoid enclosing the switch in tight, unventilated spaces despite its fanless design. Use compatible Cat5e or Cat6 cabling to achieve multi-gigabit performance where supported by endpoints.

Recommendations

For best results, pair the switch with devices that support 2.5G Ethernet and use Cat5e or better cables. Place the switch in a well-ventilated area and keep firmware up to date if applicable.
