A Network Upgrade That Scales with You

As homes add more wired devices — PCs, gaming consoles, NAS systems, media servers, and access points — bandwidth and port count matter. The APEX2008 gives you the room to grow, delivering fast and stable wired connections across your entire network without adding noise, complexity, or unnecessary features.

Features

Full 2.5 Gigabit Speed on Every Port

Each of the eight Ethernet ports supports 2.5G speeds, eliminating common bottlenecks found in traditional 1G switches. Perfect for high-speed internet plans, large file transfers, and bandwidth-heavy applications.

 

Effortless Plug-and-Play Setup

No configuration. No management interface. Just connect your devices and start using faster wired speeds immediately.

 

Silent, Fanless Operation

The passive cooling design means zero fan noise and fewer moving parts. Ideal for quiet environments like home offices, bedrooms, or studios.

 

Built for Reliability

A compact metal chassis improves durability and heat dissipation while fitting neatly into desks, shelves, or media cabinets.

Smart Auto-Negotiation

Each port automatically adjusts to the highest supported speed of the connected device — 2.5G, 1G, or 100Mbps — ensuring compatibility without manual setup.

 

High-Capacity Performance

With a 40Gbps switching capacity, the APEX 2008 keeps traffic flowing smoothly even when multiple devices are active at the same time.

 

Designed for Real-World Networks

Simple, quiet, and dependable. This switch delivers performance where it matters without unnecessary enterprise features.

FAQ

What is the difference between the APEX2008 and PoE models?

The APEX 2008 focuses purely on high-speed data connectivity. It does not provide power over Ethernet, making it a more affordable option when PoE is not needed.

Do all ports support 2.5G speeds?

Yes. All eight ports deliver full 2.5 Gigabit performance.

Is this switch difficult to install?

No. Simply plug it in and connect your devices. No setup or configuration is required.

Will it work with my existing router?

Yes. It works with virtually any router, including WiFi 6, WiFi 6E, and WiFi 7 models.

Can I connect older Ethernet devices?

Yes. Each port automatically adjusts to 100Mbps, 1G, or 2.5G depending on the device.

Is it suitable for home offices or creators?

Absolutely. It provides fast, stable wired connections for video calls, file transfers, and media workflows without noise.

Does it generate heat or noise?

The fanless design runs silently, and the metal housing helps dissipate heat efficiently.

Who is the APEX2008 best for?

Homes or small offices that need more wired ports and higher speeds but do not require PoE power.

Can this switch improve my internet speed?

It does not increase your internet plan speed, but it ensures your wired devices can fully use available bandwidth by removing 1G bottlenecks inside your network.

Is this switch good for gaming?

Yes. Wired connections through the APEX2008 offer lower latency and more consistent performance than WiFi, making it well suited for gaming PCs and consoles.
