D-Link Corporation today announced their new DUB-E250 USB-C to 2.5G Ethernet Adapter and DMS-106XT Multi Gigabit Unmanaged Switch at the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show.

Single Gigabit Ethernet is no longer sufficient. 2.5G Ethernet is one of the latest technology trends driving innovation in networking and changing the consumer experience. D-Link's new 2.5G Ethernet solutions upgrade networks by providing a more reliable, stable, seamless network and easily multiplying the network speed by 2.5 times.

D-Link's DUB-E250 is the smallest USB-C 2.5G Ethernet Adapter on the market that breaks network bottlenecks by enabling 2.5 times the bandwidth of a Gigabit ethernet connection and makes feasible many more high-performance online activities. Fully backward compatible with existing network equipment, the DUB-E250 allows for affordable, fast, worry-free transition to high-performance experiences. The DUB-E250 has also been recognized as this year's CES Innovation Award Honoree.

2.5G Ethernet Connectivity for ultra-high data transfer rates
USB-C Connector for fast and simple installation
Auto Speed Detection for hassle-free connections
Crossover Detection eliminates cable confusion
Full-Duplex Mode for up to 4.6 Gbps throughput
Two LED indicators for visual diagnostics
No power adapter required means no cable clutter
Virtual CD for convenient driver installation (Windows)
Backwards compatible (10/100/1000 Mbps) to work with all of your devices

The DMS-106XT is D-Link's new unmanaged switch that accelerates network efficiency and delivers uninterrupted online experiences. Featuring 2.5G Ethernet ports and one 10G Ethernet ports, users can connect to 2.5G Ethernet notebooks for HD streaming and gaming while the 10G port connects to storage for quick backup or restoring of data. Turbo mode activates extremely low latency for high quality streaming and gaming with just one click, and customized LED provides users with instant network feedback. Its multi-gig ports are backwards compatible with existing cables and equipment so that it can be deployed where extra bandwidth is demanded without costly, time-consuming re-cabling or equipment replacement costs.

5 x 2.5 Gbps Ethernet Ports for unrestricted Wi-Fi 6 or surveillance connectivity
1 x 10 Gbps Ethernet port for uplink or NAS server connection
Smart Turbo Mode delivers Quality of Service (QoS) and port-based priority for uninterrupted online gaming and 4K streaming
Fanless operation for enhanced reliability and soundless performance

If I'm not mistaken, 2.5 is the fastest you can reliably go with cheap cat5e cables. To go faster, you typically need to redo your wiring.

I'd say a 1000Mbps

Soooo, why exactly would I turn the Turbo mode off? At what point would I like my Ethernet switch to be a little more crap?

In all such Acceleration options, Low Latency always lowers total bandwidth, you need to choose one or the other

Probably just fancy name for jumbo frames.

I think its the opposite, Jumbo Frames when Turbo mode switched OFF and when Turbo-ON, Jumbo Frames Off, to get better latency

Will look into this. Sounds like a good plan.

You can install Aquantia 10G Ethernet cards for 65$ per card, I have a bunch of these from same company but gen 1 with smaller heatsink and they great, zero issues, these new updated models have 3 times bigger heatsink and proper commercial looks
Then get any SFP+ switch and use 10G J45 transceivers, they can be found for 40-60$
