Question 1

Does this splitter support PoE passthrough, or do I still need to power each device separately?**

Accepted Answer

This unit accepts PoE input (you supply the injector or PoE switch), but it does **not** provide PoE output to connected devices. Each device like a PC or router still needs its own power source. Many Reddit users appreciated this design for reducing cable clutter at the switch itself.

Question 2

I’m using Cat6 cables with a 2.5Gbps router. Will this work out of the box?**

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. This is a true plug-and-play unmanaged switch—just connect your router to any port, plug in your devices, and you’re good to go. It auto-negotiates speeds from 100Mbps up to 2.5Gbps on all ports. It works with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7, and Cat8 cables.

Question 3

The Type-C power cable seems short. Can I use my own adapter?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, the included Type-C cable is meant for flexible placement on a desk or shelf. If you need a longer cable or want to use a standard USB-C power brick, any 5V/1A USB-C charger will work. Some TikTok users showed creative setups using a laptop’s USB-C port to power it temporarily.

Question 4

Why does the aluminum case get warm, and should I be concerned?**

Accepted Answer

The metal casing acts as a heat sink—it’s designed to pull heat away from the internal components. Under continuous 2.5Gbps traffic, the case may feel warm to the touch, but this is normal and within safe operating temperature. Just ensure adequate airflow around it.

Question 5

Can I use this to split a single 2.5Gbps connection for multiple gaming PCs?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, it functions as a standard network switch, not a true multi-port splitter. Each connected device gets its own dedicated port at full 2.5Gbps speed (up to the total switch capacity). Gamers on YouTube have reported stable connections and low latency for competitive titles. Just note there are no QoS or VLAN settings—it’s strictly plug and play.
