With the booming high-speed broadband technology, the Ethernet switch has extrended its reach beyond enterprise to home individuals. However, there are both 10G uplink and 1G uplink on Ethernet switch, designed for link aggregation of multi-layer switch connection. Accordingly questions about the uplink ports selection on Ethernet switch has put forward by lots of people.

● What is uplink on Ethernet switch?

Uplink port on Ethernet switch serves as different layer network connection, which enables a lower network to link up to a higher network. Or used as the regular port connected to end users while link aggregation is not involved.

1. Need to do lots of data transfer such as photos and video exchange even in a small business.

2. The increasing APs and office devices would bring many burdens to your network.

3. For a reliable backbone network with future-proof expansion available, Ethernet switch with 10G uplink is a good solution for the demand of hardware upgrading.

Indeed, the 10G Uplink benefits the users in many aspects.

* Faster speed of access and transmission.

* Better hardware and rack space efficiency.

* Simple virtualization and less cabling.

* Fewer bottlenecks.

* Greater scalability.
