Does anyone have experience with this tiny cheap switch? There were a ton of port numbers and configurations available on AliExpress. The 2xSFP+ 4x2.5Base-T was $35.08 including tax and shipping from China to the US. I was having trouble getting my employer managed computer on its own SubLAN...

I have a Mikrotik L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN Router running Router OS connected to a CRS309-1G-8S+IN running SwOS. I have tried connecting them with both DAC and Cisco Finisar 850nm MMF transceivers (10Gbps capable). They will only negotiate a 1Gbps connection. I have also been unable to get 2.5Gbps...

$249 on Amazon with limited lifetime warranty? Even has an RJ45 console port. This looks like a screaming deal. https://www.amazon.com/SFP-Managed-Prevention-Lifetime-Protection/dp/B0B8SJWV2S What are the catch(es)?
