- SFP+ Slots (7-8): Two 10Gbps SFP+ slots compatible with 1G/2.5G/10G optical modules.
- LED Indicators: Each RJ45 port has a Left LED (Orange for 10Gbps, Green for 2.5G/1Gbps) and a Right LED (Flash for Data Transmission). SFP+ ports have a 10G LED (ON for 10Gbps) and a 2.5/1G LED (ON for 2.5G/1Gbps), with flashing indicating data transmission.
- PWR (Power) LED: Indicates power status (ON: Powered on, OFF: Powered off).
- SYS (System) LED: Indicates system status (ON: System work well, Flash: Starting or Dial Extend Switch).
- Port 7-8 Switch: A DIP switch to configure the SFP+ ports (Left: 1G/10G Adaptive, Right: 2.5G/10G Adaptive).
3.2 Rear Panel
The rear panel contains the power input:
- AC IN 100-240V: Power input connector for the included power adapter.

4. Setup
The MokerLink 10G062GS is an unmanaged switch, designed for simple plug-and-play operation without complex configuration.
4.1 Power Connection
- Connect the included power adapter to the AC IN port on the rear panel of the switch.
- Plug the power adapter into a standard AC power outlet (100-240V, 50/60Hz).
- Verify the PWR LED on the front panel illuminates, indicating the switch is powered on.
4.2 Network Device Connection
- Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, servers, NAS, WiFi 6 APs) to the RJ45 ports (1-6) using appropriate Ethernet cables (Cat5e or above for Gigabit, Cat7 or above for 10Gbps).
- For SFP+ connections, insert compatible 1G/2.5G/10G SFP+ optical modules into slots 7-8. Connect fiber optic cables to these modules.
- Ensure the Link/Act LEDs for connected ports illuminate, indicating an active network connection. Flashing LEDs signify data transmission.
4.3 Installation Options
The switch supports both desktop and rackmount installations:
- Desktop Placement: Place the switch on a stable, flat surface with adequate ventilation.
- Rackmount Installation: Attach the provided rackmount ears to the sides of the switch and secure it into a standard 1U server rack.

5. Operating Instructions
The MokerLink 10G062GS switch operates automatically once connected.
5.1 Auto-Negotiation
The RJ45 ports automatically detect and negotiate the highest possible speed (10G/5G/2.5G/1000M/100M) with the connected device. No manual configuration is required for these ports.
5.2 SFP+ Port Configuration
The SFP+ ports (7-8) support 1G, 2.5G, and 10G optical modules. The operating speed for these ports can be set using the DIP switch located next to them:
- Left Position: Configures SFP+ ports for 1G/10G adaptive operation.
- Right Position: Configures SFP+ ports for 2.5G/10G adaptive operation.
Select the appropriate setting based on the SFP+ modules and connected devices.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your MokerLink switch.
- Cleaning: Keep the switch clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the switch. The industrial-grade fans require clear space for heat dissipation. Avoid blocking ventilation openings.
- Environment: Operate the switch within recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat sources, and high moisture environments.
- Cable Management: Organize network cables to prevent strain on ports and ensure proper airflow.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MokerLink switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
7.1 No Power
- Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet.
- Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
- Verify the PWR LED on the front panel is illuminated.
7.2 No Link Light / No Network Connection
- Check if the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the switch port and the network device.
- Ensure the Ethernet cable is not damaged. Try a different cable.
- Verify the connected network device is powered on and functioning correctly.
- For SFP+ ports, ensure the SFP+ module is correctly inserted and compatible, and the fiber optic cable is properly connected. Check the Port 7-8 switch setting.
- Confirm the cable type meets the speed requirements (e.g., Cat7 for 10Gbps).
7.3 Slow Network Speed
- Ensure all connected devices and cables support the desired speed (e.g., 10Gbps). Using lower-category cables (e.g., Cat5e for 10Gbps) can limit performance.
- Check the Link/Act LED color for RJ45 ports (Orange for 10Gbps, Green for 2.5G/1Gbps) to confirm the negotiated speed.
- Verify the SFP+ port configuration via the DIP switch matches the module and device capabilities.
- Ensure there are no other network bottlenecks or heavy network traffic.
