Just for comparison, unless you value Trend net as a brand name you can get twice the ports for the about the same price under names like GigaPlus, NicGiga, Hasivo, and others. They are popular in the homelab community. I have a GigaPlus and it's been great. https://a.co/d/04cpHKdw

what would you recommend for a managed switch? wanting to get into homelabbing and need it to fit on a 10inch rack

Same idea but more similar to OP with 4x2.5G and 2xSFP+, $39.99

I'm no brandname shill, but keep in mind that cheap network hardware has cheap components inside. I picked up a VIMIN 2.5gb switch that developed coil whine and started crashing my network every few minutes within a year of owning it. I cracked it open and found 3 bulging caps 💀 FWIW I now own this model trendnet and it's been fine; I haven't even thought about it, which is really all I want out of my networking gear
Regarding no-name switches, I've been running a NicGiga 8-port 2.5G (with two 10G SFP) POE+ switch that powers four Omada APs (EAP670, EAP725-Wall, 2x EAP655-Wall) and while performance is fantastic, the only issue I had was it stopped delivering POE after about 8 months, likely due to insufficient cooling.
These switches are fanless and lack an internal header (or space) for a 40mm fan, so I put a 120mm to push cold air into the frame. It's been fine for now, but I keep a secondary switch online in case I lose POE again.
