Zyxel / Unmanaged 2.5GbE switches
An 8-port fanless unmanaged 2.5GbE switch that adds one 1G SFP/10G SFP+ uplink slot; the slot is not a copper port and needs a separately sourced transceiver.
No community reviews yet.
An uplink to another switch or router consumes a port. Count actual devices and reserve room for growth.
Eight 2.5GBASE-T copper ports. The separate 1G SFP/10G SFP+ uplink slot is not a copper port and is not counted here; Zyxel lists nine ports in total.
The endpoint, cable and negotiated mode matter; this is not measured file throughput or internet speed.
Highest copper-port rate. The SFP+ slot is specified for 1 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s with an SFP or SFP+ transceiver.
Do not confuse adapter capacity, maximum consumption and measured typical use. Different source conditions are not an efficiency benchmark.
Manufacturer maximum, not a controlled energy comparison. The same table lists 9.12 W for the five-port XMG-105 and 1.56 W minimum for XMG-108.
Single switch with its power adapter. No SFP/SFP+ transceiver, direct-attach cable, Ethernet cable or wall-mount screw is established as included. The seller, US plug type and current offer were not verified, and a second Amazon US listing also names XMG-108. No throughput or installation test is claimed.
Select: Zyxel XMG-108, the non-PoE 8 x 2.5G switch with one 10G SFP+ uplink slot, new single unit; not XMG-108HP, MG-108, XMG-105 or a bundle with SFP+ modules.

| Questions to check before buying | Zyxel's US table lists 9.12 W maximum for both the five- and eight-port non-PoE models; confirm the rating on the delivered unit's label. The reviewed Amazon US listing names XMG-108 without a Zyxel SKU suffix or an established seller, and a second Amazon US listing also names XMG-108; the plug type was not verified. XMG-108 is not the PoE XMG-108HP, the earlier MG-108 without an SFP+ slot or the XGS1010-12. SFP+ module compatibility is not established here. |
