The Hasivo S600W-5xGT-1SX-SE is the six 10GbE port non-PoE version of the Hasivo S600WP-5XGT-1SX-SE we reviewed. A common request on 10Gbase-T switches we review is to have a SFP+ uplink port, so here we have five 10Gbase-T ports plus one SFP+ port. We also get web management, and perhaps most interestingly, the price is often under $195 with discounts. We are going to go into the internals a bit more in this review than we did with the PoE version. Let us get to it.
If you just want to check current pricing, you can find these on AliExpress here (Affiliate link.)
Hasivo S600W-5XGT-1SX-SE The Video
For this one, we have a video of both the S600WP as well as the non-PoE S600W. The S600W is usually $35 or so less expensive but drops the PoE feature and has some important layout differences. The two switches, however, share the same base switch PCB so we are doing them both in one video that you can find here:
Of course, we always suggest watching these in their own browser, tab, or app for the best viewing experience.
Hasivo S600W-5XGT-1SX-SE External Hardware Overview
The front of the switch has six 10GbE ports. Five of them are 10Gbase-T ports and one is a SFP+ port. Unlike the PoE version, there is also a DC power input on the front of the switch.
The form factor is a 1U height, and the switch comes with rack ears. Like the PoE version, there is a quirk.
If you see the non-PoE S600W atop the S600WP you will notice that the rack ears are the same size, but the switches are different widths. What might be more fun is that in the video we showed this stacked atop the XikeStor SKS1200-8XGT which is the correct width. These two switches came with the same rack ears, but neither of them reach far enough to fit a 19″ rack.
Something slightly fun is that the non-PoE switch actually has a bottom label that if you hold it at just the correct angle as shown below, you can see where the PoE indicators should be below ports 1-4. This switch, however, is missing the internal PoE bits, but we saw this and thought it was fun.
On the right side, we get a SFP+ 10G port. An often requested feature whenever we do 10Gbase-T switch reviews is for a port or two of SFP+ for devices that use that standard or simply to put optics in play and connect to other switches.
On one side, we get a vent.
On the other side, we get another vent.
On the rear, we get a label and an AC input. This switch has an internal power supply which is an often requested feature in addition to the front 12V DC input.
The label has the specs for the DCC input, but it does not come with a DC adapter. Also, the label does not have the management interface connection information. Do not worry, we have that in the management section.
In the rear, we have two 2-wire 40mm fans.
On the bottom, we have nothing but we get rubber feet in the box for desktop mounting.
At this point, like with the PoE version, you have probably noticed that a lot of the regulatory and safety markings are absent. We could not find any. We have tested the systems and they work, but we want to point out that for many locations these will be a no-go product just based on that. It is one of the reasons these are significantly less expensive than other options.
Next, let us get inside the switch.
Same price from aliexpress to Europe as the 8 port version you had 2 weeks ago. Where exactly does this warrant the “cheap” tag ?
It sucks that EU regulation adds 50-70% to the cost…… but it’s the price we pay.
The switch is about 280 Euro according to my Ali app. So quite a bit more than the mentioned 200 Dollar.
For that price tag there are 8 Port Switches available
