This seems to be the first Mokerlink 10g (no POE) managed switch.
price seems a bit too low, but might be worth a try: $269 with coupon

Hasivo switch on AliExpress - https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqPmaZi
I have the POE version, the non POE version exists as well.
It’s available cheaper on Alibaba, I bought mine there: https://m.alibaba.com/x/Dfhe?ck=pdp

You’re right. I look forward to more details on this one!
Could be the same platform, bcould be something else completely.
I know the Hasivo on I linked to has a console port that isn’t linked up to an external port.
I’m guessing without the POE, the PSU can be much smaller allowing for the smaller case.

I have begun proving out a complete rework of my PVE cluster from 2.5 gbs to 5gbs.
I got the Mokerlink, and a couple of the wisdPi 5 gbs USB adapters.
I am only testing on simple Linux and Windows systems (not Proxmox yet) and everthing works out of the box, and I am getting 4.7 gbs throughput consistently between two systems (each using wisdPi 5gbs USB) and connected via Mokerlink 10gbs.
So, for the cost of a single Netgear switch with multi-gigabit I can get a multi-gigabit switch with 6 USB's that do 5 gbs.
That is the eventual goal.

On Windows, Windows update installs the working Realtek driver, and other than Windows firewall issues, iperf3 is showing good 4.7 gbs.
On Linux the adapter works out of the box, and gets the 4.7 gbs.
It's odd, since ethtool shows the ethernet port running at 705 MB/s
This is Fedora Linux 40 with kernel 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64

Some additional testing shows a bit of a hold up on moving my PVE cluster over.
Although the USB is recognized and seems to function as expected, iperf3 testing when the local system is receiving gets the expected 4.7 Gbit/sec
However, when the local system is sending, it is only getting 2.35 Gbit/sec
I took a look at the WisdPi wiki, and they did some tweaking to the realtek driver, but I don't want to pull that in.
My Fedora system has no issues bidirectionally.
My PVE system is on kernel: 6.8.12-2-pve
So it looks like kernel 6.10 is going to be required for this USB dongle to reach full potential.
My Windows and macOS system also have no issues bidirectionally, so I have to wait for Proxmox to update their kernel release.
