The Hasivo S1100P-8GT may not be a mainstream option, but it offers something completely unique. Namely, this is an ultra-low-cost 2.5 GbE switch that also offers PoE+ with a relatively generous power budget. In this review, we'll take a look at the Switch, then talk about the highs and lows of our experiences so far. From some perspective, this switch costs about the same as a Netgear 1GbE PoE switch, but it also has a higher power budget. It's also about the same price as the TP-Link TL-SH1008 we reviewed. With that, on to the hardware.
Video release
Just to show this to our YouTube audience as well, we also have a video version of this piece which you can find here:
On the video we can also walk through the test setup a bit more than we do on the photos, so if you want to see more gear like an IP camera and the Netgear WAX630 WiFi 6 AP then you can see them a bit more in the video. As always, we suggest opening the video in a new tab, browser, or app for the best viewing experience.
The Hasivo S1100P-8GT is where there is little information available. We couldn't find any information outside AliExpress, Taobao and Chinese websites. Still, for $121 (+$28 postage), we received a desktop switch after a bit of a wait.

Perhaps the main feature of the switch is the 2.5 GbE ports. It is an 8-port unmanaged switch and it can do 2.5GbE and 1GbE. We tested both. The 10M/100M it's supposed to achieve, but we couldn't test on all ports.
We will notice that there is a large blue line at the bottom of the ports. Hasivo has a non-PoE version of this switch for just under $100 + 28 shipping. With shipping, it's a bit more expensive than the TP-Link we just reviewed. The reason we got this model instead is that adding PoE capabilities was less than a $30 upgrade. Hasivo charges much less for PoE than many other SMB network providers.
