If Keeplink aren't the ODM for Trendnet I would be surprised. Ended up with https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006435106331.html as a stopgap.

An update: Replacing the CR2032 did not help, still not booting and SFP+ & motherboard lights blinking some kind of error code. Qotom agreed on an RMA but the board has been held by Chinese customs for a few days now.

Does not boot with it disconnected. SFP+ bay lights flash and there's at least one red light on the board flashing. Sorry for the crap photos. I have taken a video and sent it to Qotom. Thanks for your help, blunden.

I think you might be on to something. No idea why this caused it to turn off, though. Now to find out where to source a Newsun CR2032-55-2 with either a tiny Molex or JST connector and hope I get the connector type and polarity right. Why couldn't they just have used a normal cell or holder?

Tested at 2.5 gigabit and 10 gigabit. Working. It is slightly frustrating that it uses a 9VDC supply, everything else on my desk is 5 and 12.

Dueltek / Omega Power Equipment appear to be the Trendnet importers for Australia and I just got an email back from them saying they will "not be importing the item at this time". They referred me to D-Link Australia - no idea what's going on.

My Qotom unit just failed. The power supply is apparently still supplying 3W at 12V but it's no longer powering on. I have emailed Qotom and will see what they say.

Yes I know this is a silly idea but it would solve a problem relatively cheaply for me. https://www.omadanetworks.com/au/business-networking/omada-accessory-media-converter/mc420l/#specifications Will this work with a copper DAC rather than fibre?

Unfortunately does not look like this is sold directly in Australia.

Looks good, thanks. Out of interest, how are you differentiating core and access switches here?

Maybe? I won't be able to switch to fibre for at least a year. What would be classed as too high of a temperature and where would I measure it (as in where should I put the probe)?

Mikrotik CRS310-8G+2S+IN looks great, but it has a fan and is going to be right next to my ear. Edit: seems to need a Noctua swap, too:

QNAP QSW-M408-2C, 8 port 1Gbps, 2 port 10G SFP+/ NBASE-T Combo, 2 port 10G SFP+, web management swit maybe, but out of stock.

This is very, very expensive. https://www.fs.com/au/products/157434.html

I have tried: * Hi-Source K0802WS - would be amazing if it didn't reboot every 4 hours or so - no idea what's going on. * Xikestor SKS3200-8E2X - theoretically great, weird issues with my Intel NICs not liking this much, seems to be doing something strange to DHCP - slow reconnects from sleep *...
