That's a 10/100 Mps switch. Dante recommends Gigabit switches and QoS when using 100 Mbs. This is a good read
https://www.audinate.com/networks-and-switchesHere's an excerpt:
What is the minimum requirement for switches in a Dante network?All Ethernet switches are capable of working with Dante. However, please be aware that there are some features on some kinds of switches that will allow you to build larger and more reliable Dante networks.
While Gigabit switches are recommended, 100Mbps switches may be used in limited scenarios.
For channel counts of 32 or more, Gigabit switches are essential. QoS is required when using Dante in networks that have 100Mbps devices. QoS is also recommended for Gigabit switches on networks that share data with services other than Dante.
For lower channel count (<32) applications, a 100Mbps switch may be used as long as it supports proper QoS, and QoS is active. The use of 100Mbps switches without QoS is not recommended or supported.
My day job is in IT and we never buy cheap switches anymore. They fail early and always need to be reset to clear them. DLink was the worst. If you need a switch to run critical audio, don't cheap out. We seem to like Dell switches here but an 8 port managed PoE switch will set you back about $400 CDN. I would tend to look at what the IT world uses for their networks. Cisco, Dell and HP seem to dominate.
