TP-Link TL-SG3428X | 24 Port Gigabit Switch, 4 x 10GE SFP+ Slots | L2+ Smart Managed | Omada SDN Integrated | IPv6 | Static Routing | Support QoS, IGMP & LAG | Limited Lifetime Protection

Very nice, works as expected. SFP+ ports are a godsend for fast connectivity to servers in my homelab. No product issues till now writing after 1.3 year.

For the price point, this switch offers lots of versatility and throughput. Has a good number of 1gig ports plus a few 10gig ports for an uplink and a couple of faster devices. Runs silently and integrates perfectly with the Omada ecosystem and has many L2 and L3 features. The only trade-off is that it doesn't have any PoE ports but that was not an issue at all for me.

Most affordable switch with a 10G uplink that I could find. With four SFP+ ports you can avoid bottlenecks by having a 10G link back to the router and connect a small number of 10G devices without spending a pile on a full set of 10GBaseT ports being wasted by gigabit devices. That is surprisingly rare in the current market with most vendors having nothing between expensive full 10G switches and simple 1G switches. L2+ features are extensive and cover all of my needs, and the built-in administrative interface makes it easy to configure. I haven’t tried the Omada controller yet as I’m running a mostly Ubiquiti setup and didn’t want to fool around with a second controller, but thankfully that’s optional with this device so it works well on its own. Build quality is excellent and its fanless design is nice and quiet. Currently using it with a fiber uplink to my router and two copper SFP+ modules for a workstation and server with throughput right up at the rated numbers when I push. Only con I can think about is that it’s very slow to start up, but that’s a rare occurrence so not much of an issue.

Port speeds as advertised. But please avoid if at all your budget allows. Dlink or Huawei is better. Jetstream advertises a lot of features but there are strange quirks of the system. CLI is similar to Cisco with a few differences. A lot of port settings eg VLANs, Interface settings, etc simply do not work properly. Is it a genuine struggle to set it up as per expectations. 10G randomly decides to switch to 1G. A switch reboot is needed to fix. No amount of config changes on the switch or connected server changes the link speed.

This switch is the best for people starting out with 10GBE. The 4 SFP+ ports can support 10g over ethernet but be careful about the lenght the transceivers support. The plethora of features can make it challenging for beginners but it's easy to find any feature you're looking for
