Review on 🔌 TRENDnet 24-Port Gigabit Switch with 2 X 10G SFP+ Slots: Fanless Design, 19” 1U Rack Mountable - TEG-30262 by Andrew Burnside

The photo shows the unit mounted on top of my 4U server rack. What I like about it.1. Two 10G feeder inputs. One is a copper RJ45 and the other is a fiber optic SFP+ that connects to my router. If I need another 10G connection, I use Cat8.2. More 1G Power Over Ethernet (POE) ports. They are mainly used to add video cameras to more remote parts of my video network. Most camcorders operate at 100Mbps, and if you're lucky you might have a 1Gbps feeder to your router. I wanted to make sure my networks could handle multiple video streams as I plan to have about 30 video cameras covering multiple dog walks and regular home security cameras covering two buildings. I want my network to never be overloaded and able to support multiple video conferences and server backups. In the above case, I have a Cat8 copper port and two 10G optical ports. Copper is a backup method.3. The 1G ports can be used for other applications such as printers, computers or multifunction devices.4. Includes grommets for mounting in a 19" rack and four screws, a power cord about 3 feet long of sufficient length. I think it's a value for money product that offers both input device flexibility and cutting-edge backbone speed. What do I not like? Well I don't fully trust NewGear as other devices have failed in the past. If one of them fails, I will switch to another brand in the future.
