The Ubiquiti 5 port switch is actually better than the Netgear one because it's POE powered whereas I don't think the Netgear one is.

I have developed a deep dislike for UI overall through the years due to their many missteps (see: most of this thread), but those little PoE-powered 2.5G switches are amazing and I am surprised that while 2.5G is getting more and more popular, no one has any real competition for this product. No matter, I bought three!
I do wish they were even smaller (I've got one location I'd like to mount one inside a wall box, which is admittedly pretty niche), and I am never again touching UI's configuration software (even 10 years later I feel that wound), but, yeah... love these little guys.
No the one linked above is non-PoE. This one is - https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/switching-standard/produ...
They meant this one supports being powered by POE: https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-switching/products/u...
Which is how I'm using mine actually, one less wall wart in the area I use them
