SKU CH-K569-JPMNK

Eight 2.5GBASE-T ports deliver up to 40Gbps switching capacity in a fanless, wall-mountable metal housing

  • TypeOther
  • 8 ports deliver 2.5Gbps over existing Cat5e cabling
  • 40Gbps switching capacity handles heavy multi-device traffic
  • Fanless metal housing runs silent and mounts on walls
  • NDAA and TAA compliant for regulated environments
  • Backwards compatible with 1000Mbps network devices

8-Port 2.5G Unmanaged Switch

The PISKEKAT 8-Port 2.5G Unmanaged Switch delivers 2.5Gbps connectivity across eight RJ-45 ports. It suits home offices or small businesses upgrading from 1Gbps infrastructure without replacing existing Cat5e cabling. The fanless metal chassis ensures silent operation and supports wall mounting for flexible placement.

40Gbps Switching Capacity Limits

The switch provides a total switching capacity of 40Gbps across all eight ports. Each port negotiates at 100Mbps, 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps depending on the connected device. Aggregate throughput cannot exceed the 40Gbps fabric, so sustained full-rate traffic on every port simultaneously will hit this ceiling.

Upgrade from 1Gbps Unmanaged Switches

This unit replaces a standard 1Gbps unmanaged switch when 2.5G-capable NAS, workstations or gaming rigs need higher local throughput. The jump is worth it if your cabling is Cat5e or better and you require multi-gig speeds without managed features. It does not serve buyers who need VLANs, link aggregation or PoE power delivery.
