As part of your testing of those switches with 10GBase-T, I hope you will indicate whether or not the ports will support either 5Gbps or 2.5Gbps speeds or if they will just drop straight to 1Gbps.

A port speed line would be helpful. As some switches do not support all of the speeds.

like this:

10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M

We have some challenges with that. We can test it for new switches, but if we do not buy the switches they have been returned. We were not testing for 5GbE in 2017 for example.

We can do this in the reviews for newer switches.

Ahh, apologies for not making that clear. The intent behind my request was for the new reviews going forward, not retroactive. :)
