Seven 2.5G ports and one 10G port
Seven RJ-45 ports run at up to 2.5 Gbit/s and also accept 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s devices. The eighth port is 10-gigabit, intended for the router, a NAS or another switch where the traffic of the other ports converges. That way the combined speed of the 2.5G devices is not squeezed through a single gigabit link, and the fastest part of the network sits where the traffic is heaviest.
