TRENDnet is continuing heir expansion of affordable multi-gig switches that are ideal for home users and small businesses.
TRENDnet TEG-S750
Today they have announced the TEG-S750 and TEG-S762.
It is the TEG-S750 that is perhaps the most interesting, I think this is the first proper switch to launch with all 10 gigabit Ethernet ports and be completely fanless.
Furthermore, it is priced reasonably attractively at just £314.99 GBP. I know that’s not cheap cheap, but until now, the only thing you might get at this price is a switch with mixed ports and just a couple of 10G ports, such as the Netgear GS110MX. Or alternatively, there are affordable 10G SFP switches

TRENDnet TEG-S762
The TRENDnet TEG-S762 is an alternative more affordable option. This has just two 10G RJ-45 ports but then four 2.5G RJ-45 ports. This could be handy for connecting your PC to a NAS/Server while feeding 2.5G to routers/access points.
