Model: NET-M4350-24G4XF-PC
from $3,588
The BZBGEAR Netgear AV Line M4350-24G4XF is a 24-port Gigabit PoE+ compliant managed switch designed for robust network infrastructure. Featuring a Quad-Core processor up to 1.8 GHz and 4GB of DDR4 memory, it offers a switching bandwidth of 128 Gb/s and a forwarding rate of 95.23 Mpps. With 24 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports (648W budget), 4 SFP+ 10 GbE ports, and rack-mountable 1U design, this switch is well-suited for demanding AV-over-IP deployments and other high-performance network applications requiring reliable power and data delivery.
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 $3,588.
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.

Network switches are extremely reliable solid-state devices. They are usually replaced because networking speed standards outgrow them, rather than due to hardware failure.
