➀ The GigaPlus GP-S25-1602 offers 16x2.5GbE ports and 2x10G SFP+ ports as an unmanaged silent switch priced at $160-170;

➀ Its internal design uses four switch chips providing 120Gbps total capacity, differing from typical single-chip configurations;

➂ While functional for basic use, its unique architecture may impact performance in high-demand scenarios.

➀ The GigaPlus GP-S25-1602 is a budget-friendly 16-port 2.5GbE and 2-port 10G SFP+ switch with low power consumption and silent operation;

➀ Its internal design uses four daisy-chained 30Gbps switch chips connected via 10Gbps links, explaining its 120Gbps switching capacity but revealing performance limitations in specific traffic scenarios;

➂ Performance tests show acceptable throughput in optimal configurations but significant bottlenecks when crossing chip boundaries.

➀ Finnish authorities charged three crew members of the Russian-linked 'Eagle S' tanker with sabotage for allegedly dragging its anchor 56 miles, damaging five undersea cables worth $70 million;

➁ The vessel, part of a 'shadow fleet' evading sanctions, was seized in December 2024 and linked to suspected Russian 'hybrid warfare' in the Baltic Sea;

➂ Legal challenges over Finland’s jurisdiction in international waters may complicate prosecution, despite claims of 'crime effects' in Finnish territory.
