Model: EASYPOE4P
from $800
The EtherWAN EasyPoE Lite Series is a robust security cabinet solution that integrates a 4-port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet switch with a 1-port RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet uplink and a built-in surge suppressor. This compact unit provides 120W of PoE power budget across its four 802.3at (30W) ports, making it ideal for powering and connecting IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices in demanding outdoor or industrial environments. Designed for reliable operation, it features a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 167°F and is housed in a durable cabinet for enhanced protection.
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 $800.
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.
