The Axis D8308 is an 8-Port 10G SFP+ Managed Network Switch from Axis Communications. This rack-mountable managed fiber switch features eight 10G SFP+ slots, supporting a 260 Gb/s switching capacity and 193.44 Mpps forwarding rate. Two SFP28 slots are also available for up to 25 Gb/s uplink connections, making it suitable for high-bandwidth fiber devices, particularly in long-range surveillance installations.
For home use, a simple unmanaged Gigabit switch is all you need to expand your router's ports. Buy a managed switch or a switch with PoE only if you are running security cameras, access points, or complex VLAN setups. Available from $1,299.
Basic unmanaged network switches use negligible power and have zero maintenance costs. PoE (Power over Ethernet) and large managed switches use more electricity but are still relatively cheap to run.
Common Failure Modes
Switches are solid-state devices with high reliability. When they fail, it is usually due to lightning strikes/power surges blowing individual ports or the internal power supply dying.
