Built for ease of use, this rack mountable switch features 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 12 of which support 30W PoE+ while the other four support 90W. Two Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 uplink ports are also available alongside two Gigabit SFP ports for fiber connections. With a plug-and-play design and total power budget of 225W, all you need to do is connect your compatible devices. No complicated management is required.
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 $249.95.
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.
