Model: NET-GS724TPP
from $744.5
The BZBGEAR Netgear GS724TPP is a 24-port Gigabit PoE+ managed network switch designed for robust network connectivity and power delivery. It features 24 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ (30W, 802.3at) and two SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports, all powered by an internal 380W PoE budget. With a switching bandwidth of 52 Gb/s and support for Layer 2, 3, and 4 services, this rack-mountable (1U) switch is ideal for powering and connecting multiple devices in demanding network environments.
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 $744.5.
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.
