Unmanaged Switch Intellinet 562096 Network Switch Black

The Intellinet 562096 is an unmanaged 9-port desktop network switch with eight 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports and a single SFP+ uplink supporting 10 Gbps. Designed for easy integration in home and small office environments, this black switch delivers multi-gigabit copper connectivity and a 10G-capable fibre/sfp uplink without requiring configuration.

Advantages

This switch eliminates common Ethernet bottlenecks by offering 2.5GBASE-T on eight ports, enabling higher throughput for Wi‑Fi 6 and other high-bandwidth devices. The SFP+ slot supports 10G transceivers for uplink or direct 10Gb connections to servers and NAS; it also accepts 1G SFP modules if 10G is not yet needed. As an unmanaged device, it provides plug-and-play operation and a low-complexity, cost-effective expansion of existing networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) access points
• Expanding wired ports in home or small office networks
• Connecting NAS, NVR, or servers requiring higher bandwidth
• Providing a 10G uplink between switches or to core devices

Key specifications

• Ports: 8 × 2.5GBASE-T (copper), 1 × SFP+ (10G capable)
• Supported speeds: 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps on copper ports; 1G/10G on SFP/SFP+
• Switch type: Unmanaged
• Form factor: Desktop
• Colour: Black
• Brand: INTELLINET, MPN: 562096, EAN: 0766623562096

How to use

Place the switch on a stable, ventilated surface near your network rack or workstation. Connect powered devices to the 2.5G copper ports using Cat5e or better cables for multi-gigabit performance; insert a compatible SFP+ or SFP transceiver into the SFP+ slot for 10G or 1G uplink connectivity. Power the unit on and allow automatic link negotiation to establish speeds—no configuration is required for basic operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use Cat5e or Cat6 cables for 2.5G connections and Cat6a or better for any 10G backhaul. When deploying Wi‑Fi 6 access points, connect their wired uplink to a 2.5G port to reduce wireless-to-wired bottlenecks. If a 10G backbone is planned, install a compatible SFP+ module and verify link compatibility with connected devices.
