I have 5Gb Fiber service from AT&T. Router on one side of the house.
On a different side of the house, I have this switch. The 5Gb from router goes into one of the 10G ports. The second 10G port is connected to my Mac Studio.
The other 2.5G ports are connected to a couple of 2.5G-capable Windows PCs, and the other is connected to a USB-2.5G adapter connected to a MacBook.
Every device gets at least 2.5G worth of internet and file transfer speed, the Mac Studio gets higher. Aggregate throughput from the switch can still peak at 10Gbps when multiple machines are downloading at once.

Making it only copper seems like a down side vs. using the flexible media interface.

I've had this for a few months. Rock solid - nothing else on the market that does 10gbe in this price point. It's fanless / does what it says on the tin.
I've seen it at 160 and 150 at times, though I bought it at 179 from B&H - this was still when it was listed as a backorder.
I think it would be one ethernet cable from the modem to the switch and then 1 cable from the switch to the router. Is that right?
