AMPCOM 9-Port 2.5GbE Switch with Web Management, 10G SFP+ uplink, and QoS for Office and Surveillance Networks

The AMPCOM 2.5GbE Managed Switch is a high-performance 9-port Ethernet switch featuring 8 RJ45 ports (100/1000/2500 Mbps) and a 10G SFP+ uplink port, designed for seamless network connectivity and management.

Various IEEE standards are supported by the switch, and QoS prioritization, VLAN capabilities, port aggregation, and 6KV lightning protection are provided, all while maintaining low power consumption as well as featuring a fanless design for ensuring quiet operation, making it a great fit for office settings. It is well-suited for security systems, enterprise networks, educational institutions, hotels, and small to medium-sized businesses. Advanced Layer 2 functions like VLAN configuration, link aggregation, port mirroring, and QoS are included, along with a user-friendly web-based management interface. Certified for safety and environmental standards, it operates within a wide temperature range. Its robust build quality suits multimedia transmission, private networks, and real-time monitoring systems.

Previously, we have written about the iKOOLCORE R2 Max, a mini-server powered by the Alder Lake-N i3-N305 8-core having a 10Gbps port. We have also covered the AAEON FWS-8600, a network security solution, based on 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor. We have previously learned about Solidrun ClearFog GT 8K, which has four GbE ports and a 10GbE SFP+ port, almost similar to AMPCOM 2.5GbE Switch. Feel free to check those out, if you are interested in this topic.

If you don’t need as many ports, there are other affordable options like the OPTFOCUS OFS-MX1F2GT4 on AliExpress, which offers four 2.5GbE ports and two 10GbE SFP+ cages for $37.69 during the AliExpress 11.11 event or $45.14 otherwise. In contrast, most 10GbE switches on Amazon are priced between $200 and $400, with the cheapest models starting at around $120.

AAEON has previously introduced the VPC-5640S, a Multi-PoE having four PoE LAN ports running at 2.5GbE speed (IEEE802.3 at/af), alongside an additional standard RJ-45 for Intel Ethernet Controller I226-LM. Compared to this product, the AMPCOM 2.5GbE Managed Switch has far better features, and it is available on the product page for $70.48.

The AMPCOM 2.5GbE Managed Switch is also available on Aliexpress at $47.51 with a free shipping charge, which is less costly than the official website.
