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

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!

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.

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

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

I'm using this to connect 2 buildings with fiber at 10gbit. It works great and i can also connect all my servers to it with dac cables. very good buy.

I have mixed feelings about the TL2-F7120 switch. The reason I purchased the product was to use it as my primary core switch for my other multi-speed TRENDNet switches. All of them have SFP+ connectors for their backbones and I wanted to link them back to this one. The first unit was dead on arrival. Fortunately, it was quickly replaced with a second unit a few days later. It’s been up and running ever since. My issue now is the firmware. All of the key features I use work, but the reporting aspects are a little off. On my network, a couple of my SFP+ connections are purposely set to 1GbE or 2.5GbE. However, the switch always shows the connection as 10GbE. Granted, this minor in the overall design of the product. However, these two experiences make me wonder about its overall quality. For this reason, I can only give my recommendation as 4 stars. Potentially, this could be a GREAT product. I just hope TRENDNet Engineering takes a step back and does a slightly better job at quality control and regression testing the hardware with other SFP+ connectors.

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.
