from $70.39
The Comprehensive 7-Port USB 3.1 Gen 1 Charging Station and Hub is a robust solution for expanding your device connectivity and charging capabilities. Featuring seven USB-A 3.0 ports, each supporting 1.5A output, and a USB-B 3.0 host connection, this metal-enclosed hub ensures reliable data transfer and efficient charging for multiple devices simultaneously. With broad compatibility for Windows and macOS, and powered by an included AC adapter, it's ideal for decluttering your workspace and managing all your USB peripherals with ease.
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 $70.39.
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.
