Good value SFP+ aggregation switch.
The USW-Aggregation does what it says on the box. It adopts quickly and easily and is easy to configure for your network. Easy to setup aggregate connections to your switches and servers too.
The only issue anyone will have is the quirky nature of DAC with SFP and SFP+ gear. Out of the box, all the SFP+ ports are configured for Auto-Negotiation, but this will only auto-negotiate a 1G connection for Ethernet or Fibre SFP modules, not DAC cables. If you try to connect an SFP-only device to one of the USW-Aggregation SFP+ ports using a DAC cable, it will not link up until you manually configure that port on the USW-Aggregation to 1G Full-Duplex mode. This means you might not be able to adopt it into your network if you don't have any other SFP+ connections. If you are able to get a link from a workstation running an SFP+ card plus DAC, or you can connect with an Ethernet or Fibre module first, you can manually SSH into the unit and configure a port manually to allow your controller to adopt.
There are no issues with SFP+ to SFP+ over a DAC cable. It will link up instantly.
Beyond that, it works great and is good value without going the whole hog of the Pro unit. Just wish it had a few more ports to really make it shine.Read full review...

10G value
To introduce 10G switching within a home, small network this is good value. It can also handle up to 4x 10Gbe SFP+ modules if UTP is required.
