Funny.
Once we figured out the power supplies that came with GS108t switches
are horrible and found a replacement, we can't argue with what works.
We aren't kind to them either, they see some environmentally unfriendly
conditions.

cutting corners like this?

Looking at these more...
FPE H20202DL-R
Is a dual 10/100 magnetics... So 4 pairs. This would work for a
single gigabit port
FPE H40520MN
Is a quad 10/100 magnetics, so 8 pairs - this would work for two
gigabit ports
I've also looked at the specs for these... seem like they're
close enough to gigabit to work.
So as much as I would like to complain about cutting corners,
this is one of those cases where I don't see any obvious problems
with this.

I've found that in the effort to make gigabit things cheap,
one of the main ways people cut corners are to use the worlds
cheapest magnetics which mostly work. This is amazingly
prevalent in the PoE market, as I've found that it's pretty
common for the cheap vendors to use a chinese knockoff of an
already questionable set of magnetics. Usually *not* rated
for PoE, but works in many circumstances. I really wish I
wasn't a vendor because I'd do a set of videos about some of
my competition and the horrible sins they've committed in
this regards.
In this case it looks like they might taken a 'dual 10/100'
magnetics and used them for gigabit which assuming all the
specs are fine might actually work since 'dual' really means
'4 pair'. Is there one set of these for each port?

Took apart a brand new netgear GS205v2 router. It says 5
port gig router.
Interesting that the ethernet magnetics inside will only
do 100 mbps...
