It is a bit tricky as I think he wants to have a switch with both SFP+ ports and 10Gbase-T copper ports, that becomes more challenge and more expensive.

Use case:
Mini PC based router with SFP+ ports -- DAC cable -- 10G switch SFP+ optic port
10G switch 10Gbase-T copper port -- wired 10G device

Just buy 10GBase-T transceivers and use in the SFP+ ports will do

For this use case generally 1x10GBase-T transceiver per bay (ie. separated by 4 or 6 ports) to keep the heat down in the switch. Alternatively, can use 10G SFP+ to RJ45 Media Converter to keep the heat out of the switch

Hasivo switch testing.
Hasivo S600W-4GT-2SX-S model with 4 x 2.5G ports and two SFP+ 10G uplink, RMB 209 plus GST and shipment, from Taobao.
10G SFP+ copper modules from Taobao as well.

Indeed the two 10Gbase-T copper SFP+ modules are pretty hot. So this is more for short term testing only.

iperf3 test results:
iperf3 server -- Mac Mini M1 2020 with a cheap USB4 to 10G NIC
iperf3 client -- Acer Swift 3 2021 model (Intel Core i5-1135G7, 16GB/512GB) with a cheap USB4 to 10G NIC

Download average speed -- 8.44Gbps (limitation of my older Acer laptop).
Upload average speed -- 9.49Gbps (Mac Mini M1 2020 model is fast enough)

I think i found the perfect switch with PoE i looking for, within my budget also but dont have much info about it

anyone can comment or have more info ?

I believe these two brands are the better brands among the cheap China brand switches. The switch should work fine. But you may want to buy better SFP+ modules (not from these vendors).

STH has recommended many Hasivo switches.

Another fellow forum user is using Xike switch (兮克 SKS7300-8GPY4XGS-P)
https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/...etwork-upgrade.6341518/page-11#post-153048874

I have bought Hassivo S600W-4GT-2SX-S from Taobao Hasivo shop and the switch itself works fine. My existing two SFP+ copper modules (from another China vendor Ganwen 感闻) work fine as well with the switch.

However, I also bought two SFP+ optic modules from the same shop and they do not seem to work at all. It did not work with the Hassivo switch itself. It also did not work with my Miniroute R1 SFP+ ports (Intel82599ES based). Worse is that one module is now stuck in the Ganwen 2.5G switch's SFP+ port and I could not take it out. Luckily I only use Ganwen Switch as a dumb 2.5G switch now. [Edit to update: finally removed the optic module from the Ganwen switch in the evening).

I am buying two more SFP+ modules from 10Gtek Taobao to see if they work with MiniRoute R1 and the Hasivo S600W-4GT-2SX-S switch.

One of the feedbacks of SKS7300-4X4T noise: not too bad at 50dB. But the reviewer changed the fan to get it down to 46dB.

How is your XIke (Seeker) switch 兮克 SKS7300-8GPY4XGS-P so far? Is it noisy?

haven't get chance to play with it yet. didn't expect it will be quiet..
will test and update here.

Updates.
1) The two Hasivo SFP+ optical modules are actually working. I forgot to cross connect the Fibre Optic Cable (Dual LC-LC). I should connect 1/2 to 2/1, Tx->Rx and Rx->Tx. But I was connecting 1/2 to 1/2 so it was not working.

Using the two SFP+ 10G optic modules to connect the two swtiches and carry out testing using the 2.5G LAN ports. This is actually my first ever network testing with Fibre Optic cable.

2) Next problem is to fix Miniroute R1 N100 with Ubuntu 24.04 -- now it keeps rebooting and can not get into the system after I installed an Intel BE200 WiFi 7 card. I will remove the card to see if that works.

Thanks. I have updated Post #3 to indicate that RT-AX89X's SFP+ port can be used as WAN/LAN.

I have also got the confirmation that Xiaomi BE10000's SFP+ port can be used as WAN/LAN.

Cheap Hasivo 2.5G switch with one or two 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports.
S600W-4GT-1SX-1XGT-SE: RMB 399 plus shipment plus GST
S600W-4GT-2XGT-SE: RMB 499 plus shipment plus GST

The comments say they are very hot so you may need a fan to cool it down. I was thinking of buying the first one to use with mini PCs with SFP+ ports. Now I will carry out more research first. I am buying a few 8010 fans (using one 8010 fan with my Intel N100 mini PC with quad 2.5G LAN ports now).

Updates:
1) Problem goes away once I remove the Fenvi Intel BE200 WiFi 7 card. Using an external USB WiFi 6 AX1800 adapter now as it is supported by Linux.

Customer service from Miniroute is telling me that it is a BIOS issue. They are still trying to fix the issue.

2) I have also used a short 1m DAC cable from ONTi Taobao to connect the SFP+ port of Miniroute R1 N100 mini PC to Ganwen switch's SFP+ port, and it seems to work fine. Need to carry out speedtest to see if it is stable.

Lesson learned -- 1m DAC cable may be too short. Just ordered two more DAC cables from ONTi: 2m and 3m length version.

1m DAC normally use for short interconnects, but even for short interconnects, 1m might still be too long which requires some room to route/hide/cable manage it. Connecting to devices should at least get 2m or more, since 1m might not be all that useful other than for up/down links. That is where RJ45 ethernet cables shine for short interconnects. Can easily get 15cm in length. For first-time home lab-er do consider your overall layout and set up, especially if you are rack mounting it. Makes the whole setup much cleaner and organized.

Not many reviews of CWWK Intel 12th/13th gen low power network appliance mini PC with dual SFP+ ports and quad 2.5G ports.

The following review is with the lower end U300E CPU. CWWK has higher end option like Core i5-1240P and Core i5-1335U, as well as lower end Intel Pentium Gold 8505U.

Adding to the discussions, I'm using the current 10G set up:

ONT - Nokia XS-2426X-A - from Starhub in bridged mode
Router - Minisforum MS-01 running Pfsense 2.7.2
Switch: https://www.qnap.com/en-as/product/qsw-m2106-4c

QNAP connected to MS-01 via 10G SPF+ DAC from FS.com
Nokia ONT connected to MS-01 via 10G SFP+ copper module (I think SFP-10G-T and get's hot!)

PCs and NAS connected to QNAP via 10G RJ45 ports

1. Minisforum MS-01 is quite popular now as a very good Home Lab server mini PC.

2. In the US, Protectli brand seems to be popular but the price is usually on the high side.
VP6600 series are their high end offerings with four 2 Intel® 10G SFP+ NIC Ports and 4 Intel® 2.5G Copper NIC Ports.
https://protectli.com/vault-6-port/

One review of VP6650 with OPNsense. Basically the CPU Intel® i5-1235U is kind of too fast if running in bare metal. So you may want to run it with virtualization, as per the reviewer.

It is common for SFP+ to be very very hot. I ran such setup for 2 straight years without issues so don't really need to cater cooling for that.

I am more interested now which XGS-PON ONU Stick can work with my SH 10GB

Abit unfamiliar with SFP, currently using Singtel ONT with my own old Unifi Dream Machine (they change to call it Dream Router now). If i want to change to Viewquest SFP+ plan and keep my Unifi router, I need a media converter something like this? fs.com/sg/products/101478.html?attribute=31993&id=593269 and hook that to the Unifi DM?

Or are they any cost effective taobao solutions as well?

No point as your UDM only supports 1Gbps. You have to upgrade to UDM Pro or UDM SE if you want to fully utilize the 3Gbps bandwidth.

The idea of using the XGS-PON ONU stick option is for those power users with a router with SFP+ port.

If you have router without SFP+ port, then just go with the normal option which is the bridged ONR (one 10G LAN port which is also compatible with 1G and 2.5G).

Understand I'll be limited by the UDM, just want it up running for now, also the VQ plan cheapest for now. All the bridged ONR plans cost more with mandatory router, unless there's any cheaper plans out there that I missed.

Maybe in future might upgrade the UDM but not at the moment.
