Planet - MGS-910X - 8-Port 10/100/1000/2500T + 1-Port 10G SFP+ Multigigabit Ethernet Switch (Fanless design, Standard/VLAN mode, desktop size with rackmount kit)
Product Overview
The Planet MGS-910X is an unmanaged multigigabit switch equipped with eight 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and one 10G SFP+ uplink port. Its fanless design delivers up to 60Gbps switching capacity and 44.64 Mpps forwarding performance, making it suitable for high-speed desktop or rackmount deployments. The switch also supports Standard and VLAN operating modes, 12K jumbo frames, and IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet.
Key Configuration
- • Copper ports: 8 × 10/100/1000/2500BASE-T RJ45 (auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDI-X)
- • SFP+ port: 1 × 10GBASE-X SFP+ (10G uplink)
- • Switch fabric: 60 Gbps; throughput: 44.64 Mpps @ 64 bytes
- • MAC address table: 4K entries; jumbo frame: 12K bytes
- • DIP switch modes: Standard (normal switch) / VLAN (port-based isolation)
- • Dimensions: 280 × 180 × 44 mm; weight: 1505g
Key Features
The switch features eight 2.5GbE ports for high-speed networking over existing Cat5e cabling, a fanless metal chassis for silent operation, and a 10G SFP+ uplink for backbone connectivity. It supports Standard and VLAN isolation modes, Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), auto-negotiation, and auto-MDI/MDI-X. Additional highlights include ESD and surge protection, low 6.6W power consumption, universal 100–240V AC input, and FCC, CE, and TAA compliance.
Technical Context
The MGS-910X delivers an affordable upgrade path from Gigabit networking by supporting 2.5GbE speeds over existing Cat5e cabling. A built-in VLAN mode enables easy traffic isolation without software configuration, making it well-suited for surveillance systems and segmented network deployments. Its silent, fanless design is ideal for office and workspace environments, while the 10G SFP+ uplink ensures sufficient capacity for handling traffic from multiple 2.5GbE devices.
Installation Notes
Measuring 280 × 180 × 44 mm and includes a rackmount kit for 1U installation in a standard 19-inch rack. It weighs 1.505 kg and operates in temperatures from 0°C to 50°C with 5–95% non-condensing humidity. Powered by a universal 100–240V AC supply, it consumes up to 6.6W. A built-in DIP switch allows selection between Standard operation and VLAN isolation mode. The SFP+ uplink supports both 10GBASE-SR/LR and 1000BASE-SX/LX fiber transceivers. Designed for plug-and-play deployment, the switch requires no IP configuration and supports 2.5Gbps connectivity over Cat5e or better cabling up to 100 meters.
