I’m lucky enough to have over-provisioned gigabit cable internet. In order to get my setup working to have multiple LAN devices access to use that bandwidth if necessary wasn’t able easy task.
For a modem, I needed a device that supported NBase-T on WAN, but ALSO higher than 1Gbe on LAN. This left me 2 choices, the ASUS RT AX89X, or a really terrible QNAP option. Literally those 2.
So ASUS was the choice. It has a 10G NBase-T Multigig RJ45 port as well as a 10G 10Base-T SFP+ port. Either can be used for LAN or WAN. Well since my Arris SB33 has a 2.5Gbe connection that was taken care of.
Now I needed to find a switch that not only has a 10G SFP+ port, but also has multiple NBase-T Multigig ports for my varying devices, some have 10Gbe only cards, some have 2.5Gbe only, etc.
Well, this switch is honestly one of the best if not the best options available.
Hooked up my router to the SFP+ with some twinax DACs I had, as well as fiber OM3, and it worked perfectly with all of them (sticking with the fiber cause the DACs I had were too short, but it worked perfectly with all of them). Had to do some extra setup to get it into my rack… all hardware is included for rack mounting, just have to take the time to screw in 8 screws, so it wasn’t bad at all. Speed wise I could not be happier. I have my devices connecting at 10Gbe, 5Gbe, or 2.5Gbe depending on the device, no issues or questions asked. I have it inside a rack and honestly, I have no idea if the fan has even turned on, as it’s not loud enough to be heard over anything else I have.
If anyone else were in a similar situation to me, I would 100% recommend the XS508M any day of the week.
Connectivity is great.
Speeds are great.
Easy installation.
Haven’t had issues with any 10GTek modules or off-brand “any device” passive or active twinax DACs.
All around happy camper.

Works like you think it would.
Full 10Gb between my NAS and Main computer. I uplinked the switch with gigabit back to the router (the faster a RT-AX88U will connect at). Hopefully around the time WIFI 7 is released more routers will have multigig ports at a more reasonable price and assuming at that time I get MultiGig internet I will upgrade the routers and have more ports open for other computers to connect with. I am using a used Server Intel X540-T1 network card and it worked right out of the box no problems with this switch. I am using a 6x8TB RAIDZ1 setup up for my NAS and coming straight off of the Hard Drives it bounced around 5-7 GBs The screen shot is a filed loaded into RAM and transferred, not really what I am going to get in real world performance. The OpenSpeedTest server running on my NAS shows the speed just below 10Gb however I don't think the program is really optimized for that speed.It would be nice if the switch was about $300 less.It wont make you internet faster if the ISP is giving you less then 1GIG.
