TRENDnet 12-Port 10G Layer 2 Managed SFP+ Switch, TL2-F7120, 12 x 10G SFP+ Ports, 240Gbps, Ethernet Splitter, NDAA & TAA Compliant, Lifetime Protection, Black

Good trunk switch for a 10Gbit home LAN. There's a 40mm fan but I don't hear it over my NAS in normal circumstances. I haven't stress-tested the backplane with multiple links, but both branches off the trunk can handle 10gbit benchmarks It takes generic SFP+ modules (I'm using three different brands for DACs, RJ45, and OS2 fiber and they all work)

I've been using the TL2-F7120 for over a year now, and for the price, it’s been excellent. I haven’t had many issues with it since I bought it, though I haven't thoroughly tested every feature, and it does have quite a few. It’s a managed Layer 2 switch, and while it doesn’t offer advanced Layer 3 features, that’s expected at this price point. It’s still a step above your typical basic managed switch, with solid configuration options. It also isn’t vendor-locked, so it works with any SFP or SFP+ module I’ve tried. I haven’t tested it with RJ45 modules, since those tend to run hot and I generally avoid them for that reason. QoS support is there, including DSCP, which is important if you're using it with something like Dante. Dante is sensitive to latency and dropped packets, and this switch has handled it without any problems. VLAN also works. I used it to place my Dante devices on its own VLAN. The fan is usually very quiet — I rarely even notice it.

TRENDnet is reputable brand with good quality products —- and this switch is no exception. So far have only used it as a “dumb” switch , just plug and play using both optical as well as Ethernet SFP+ 10Gtek Transceiver —- next one is already my “saved for later” cart.

Very easy to use. GUI doesn’t gave all commands, thus the use if cli. CLI gives full access to the complete system. Great to have!

It's pretty easy to set up and configure. Much nicer interface than my ProSAFE routers, but still fairly annoying when setting up VLANs. However, its cooling fan is very, very noisy; it's a high-pitched grating sound that I can hear through closed doors. I really wish it had a bigger - and thus quieter - fan. I've had it in operation now for a few months and haven't once had a single issue with it. Edit: I have now had this for a few days shy of three months and, this morning, it randomly died. It's not the power supply, but the whole thing is dead - completely unresponsive. No smoke smell, but also no lights, despite multiple attempts at power cycling, leaving unplugged for a long time, hitting the reset button, etc.

This is a great switch, fast throughput. It is in managed but great for small network.

My company has a small Ceph cluster that was running over gigabit ethernet. Upgrading to 10 gigabit made Ceph finally work the way it was intended. Everything is snappy now! The switch supports bonding (2 cables running to each server) for reliability and VLANs for improved security.

Purchased 2 of these for NetApp cluster switches and they worked perfectly. Provides functionality I would only expect from true enterprise switches.

Switch gestionable con carcasa de metal. Relación calidad-precio excelente. Probado con varios cables DAC 10Gbps, transcepores multimodo fibra 1Gbps y 10Gbps, y transceptores RJ45 10Gbps, de momento funcionan todos. Otros transceptores de 2,5 y 5 Gbps, podrían no ser compatibles o deben configurarse las bocas correspondientes del switch para funcionar en modo 1Gbps. Ventilador algo ruidoso en momentos de mucha actividad. Las opciones de configuración y personalización son muchas. Producto recomendado.

Me fallo Switch TRENDnet anteriormente, 3 años, simplemente dejo de funcionar, le quise dar una segunda oportunidad a este producto y el ventilador hace un ruido superior a los 35dbA, incluso sin conectar nada

Working good so far - the fan is noisy though / louder than we would like.

Prima managed switch. De User inteface is bijna gelijk aan wat Zyxel gebruikt. De switch is eenvoudig in gebruik te nemen, al was het handig als hij bij 1e opstart DHCP zou gebruiken ipv een fixed IP adres. Ik heb wel de ventilator vervangen door een Noctua. De fabrieks ventilator is erg luidruchtig als je de switch in de kamer hebt staan. Ik gebruik vooral DAC kabels, maar heb er ook 2 QSFPTEK 10GBASE-T SFP+ RJ45 transceivers bij in gebruik. Werkt allemaal uitstekend.

I have been using this switch for some time now with budget SFP+ modules for fiber and ethernet and I have had no issues with it at all. For the price I would recommend, great for a tech nerd at home who wants 10gig in their house, or perhaps as a media converter, etc. It's basic, managed, works, comes with rack mounting "ears". You just need to source your desired SFP modules.
