I receives this Extreme Networks Summit 200-24 switch a while back. It an early 2000s managed switch with 24x 10/100Mbit and two dual personality Gigabit/SFP ports.
When powering it on I smelled capacitor electrolyte coming out of it despite it working. Since this is an early 2000s gear it seems to have either struggled with the usual capacitor plague from this time or it was in operation in a fairly hot location for an excess amount of time.
Virtually all of the greenish capacitors were bloated and started venting, so all of those need replacement.
I decided to replace the full set including the smaller ones who still look okay. What I couldn’t initially decide on was whether to use Würth or Vishay capacitors, so I bought the full sets from each.
In the end I decided to go with Würth and put the Vishay ones in storage for use in my other projects.
