What an upgrade for a 2.5G switch! ⚡1.7x more power efficiency, 20℃ cooler temperature, and extra management features.
Cudy has announced a major hardware upgrade to its popular 2.5G switch HS105, introducing a next-gen chipset with significantly improved power efficiency, additional easy-managed features, and upcoming Cudy Cloud support. Cudy also introduced the HS105U, featuring USB-C power input and a jaguar-inspired casing design, giving users a modern-looking switch option for desktop setups.
Equipped with a more efficient chipset, the new HS105's max power consumption come down to 6W, which is 57% less TDP and 20C cooler then the previous-gen, while sustaining the same peak performance. This reduces the heat accumulation and greatly enhance the performance consistency when all ports continuously streaming at 2.5G.
In addition, Cudy team has upgraded HS105 from an unmanaged switch into a Cloud Easy-Managed solution. We believe the new HS105/HS105U will continue the success of the previous generation and deliver an even better networking experience for Cudy users.
