<p>I have a customer looking to deploy about 20 Grandstream
GXP2140 phones. Normally they would deploy Yealink brand
phones but they want a phone with gigabit pass through and the
Yealinks with gigabit are too expensive for their budget.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Does anyone on the list have experience with the GXP2140? Is
it a reliable phone? Does anyone have recommendations for
other phones with gigabit pass through?<br>
</p>

I'd be generally careful with the second ethernet connection. One
should look at the chipset of the phone. I had pretty bad
experiences with somewhat older TI based phones, regardless of the
manufacturer. The problems became apparent in mixed environments,
where some connections were gigabit and others not. It can be a
nightmare, if you have to offer support.<br>
<br>
The best bet is to buy one, and check the performance of the
connections. I use some GrandStream products myself and the product
quality is now much better compared to a couple of years ago.<br>
